CA police beat man to death then confiscate video from witnesses

I'm waiting for citizens to put a stop to this crap.

When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

This^ is what I was thinking. Although 10-20 feet would be WAY more satisfying.

You didn't stir the pot, it was prestirred when this was posted. The article was stirring enough.

Once a few years ago in Tampa, a woman calls 911 and says she needs help with her son who has mental issues and please don't hurt him. Cops get there and he answers the door with a BBQ fork in hand...so they shot him dead! They could have clubbed him, pepper sprayed or tased or heaven forbid tackled him, but shootin is the quick way, I reckon. Seems they are a lot quicker to pull the trigger and hope the benefit of the doubt given to LEOs sees them through the investigation that follows. It usually does go in their favor.

If eight men with badges do this exact same act, they are following procedure and free to kill the next person. These are government sanctioned gangsters.
We often speak of tyranny within government. This is a prime example. These thugs need to hang. Anything less is a travesty of justice.

These are the valid questions. Problem is, nobody starts filming at the initial query, or when a subject mouths off, or before the first blow is thrown. Nope, they only hit "record" after things get exciting and sensational. Good, bad, or neutral, the end result is we get to see the touchdown without the benefit of seeing the kickoff to give it context.

Context?
That's gonna be a tough sell to a jury, I hope. Assuming, of course, that it ever gets to a jury.....
When they kill someone there is always a good reason but if you are protecting your family you are over reacting.
Because he is ex-military they consider him a flight risk DA said he has the means to leave the country.
The law sure gets it head screwed on backwards at times.

How will we ever know when the video started if the cops threaten to arrest the witness and then steal the devices?

This is hardly a California thing. This type of behavior is rearing it's ugly head all over.
No context necessary. 8 officers could have subdued him, handcuffed him, and taken him to wherever. Instead, he was clubbed to the ground screaming for help, and they continued the beating until they beat him to death. I see 8 counts of premeditated murder.
