Sounds like a felony assault to me.

I'm curious how the same behavior would have been charged if it had been a civilian doing the same thing to a police officer. Somehow I too am skeptical that it would have been considered as misdemeanors.

He forgot to yell "STOP RESISTING" while he was assaulting the arrestee.

Of the officers who intervened and reported the incident to supervisors, Dwyer said: "What these officers did is by no means easy. It was the right thing to do. ... This case does show that the system and our policies do work..."

"Sorry, fam. Shouldn't have done it on camera."

Far be it for me to be defending bastard cops, but I have to wonder why this guy was being booked into the jail and whether the punishment for his crime was anything more than being punched in the face, having his head slammed against the floor, being shoved into a cell, and being awarded a bagful of money from the subsequent lawsuit. Seeing some of the stuff these animals get away with I'm coming around to the idea of cops just beating the shit out of perps because that's the only punishment they'll ever see.

[Don't look at me!]

Maybe, but cops aren’t judges or juries.

[sarcasmic]

I thought the process itself is punishment when cops falsely arrest people for pissing them off. An arrest can cause job loss, loss of custody, loss of residence, not to mention the money. Now it isn’t punishment at all?

By the way, everything that comes before “but” is bull. So like it or not, you just excused police abuse with the “They deserved it” defense.

I wouldn't mind such a process -- IFFF the pre-trial punishment was deducted from the jury awarded punishment, AND the cop got any negative net balance, AND the judge and jury were not aware of any of this.

In other words, NO.

I could see a ticketing and/or remuneration system working out for the better. Not that it wouldn't be subject to abuse but it's probably better than bouncing peoples' heads off of prison bars.

"beating the shit out of perps because that’s the only punishment they’ll ever see." Only if the perps are cops, otherwise... just nonsense. The US is a world leader in incarceration. Even innocent Americans can serve twenty years in prison, be exonerated, then receive small amounts of money as compensation.

The victim had charges dropped.

Rodriguez was placed on leave and the department has begun the process to fire him.

Multiple people, multiple companies throughout my career, probably around a dozen people fired with pay terminated in a single day. Weird how, even when it comes to termination, the thin blue line is only thin in one direction.
