There needs to be laws against officers instigating people to physical contact. If the bystander had just touched the officer, he'd been charged with assaulting an officer. Yet the officer pushed the bystander several times without justification or any retaliation, doing everything he can to get this bystander to react, and then charged the innocent bystander with Resisting. Terrible cop!!!! Should be charged with Assault himself!!!
He literally had to run around to the other side of his car just so he could shove him out of the way lol
I'm glad no acorns dropped out of a tree.
Yeah. He also had no reason to rush as he had time to push around the bystander. That cop was looking to cause trouble.
Thank god for cameras. Can't wait to read the lies in their report.
Who protects the people FROM their police?
Cameras
First Amendment auditors.
Support them.
No body protects us. It's called implied immunity; and corrupt DA's and politicians. Plus, so many have bought into the fantasy that police work is dangerous. “Every day they risk their lives”
2nd Amendment is for that
Immediate firming and taking of pensions to fund lawsuit.
Another new millionaire!
Heading should be "Black Man Wins CA Lottery". That is the great thing about cops in general, they are so predictable. Whip out your phone to film an arrest, they will jump you. They don't care, their unions lawyer them up, and the taxpayer foots the bill.
At expense of taxpayers!
Thanks to a policeman who can't control his emotions. It might be nice to see his record and interview his wife.

I guess the second cop was the good cop because he helped his friend complete the assault.
They debase themselves 🤦🏼♀️
Next we’ll here about officer safety and protecting the public😂
We’ll investigate ourselves and taadaaa find no wrongdoing 🤷🏼♀️
A daily occurrence but the pigs are never held accountable for anything.
Law enforcement needs a hard reset - the premise of their existence has become entirely corrupted by cowardice and self interest.
@kathleensanchez50.. Which video did you watch there was no chest bumping, the cop was the one that ran into him.
LOl, cops de-funding cops!
Unfortunately, the taxpayers will pay this judgement. The cops will probably get a promotion.
It seems the cops are defunding the city.
bro got cut from the football team with that missed open ass tackle
So disgusting!
This is who they really are.
Oh good, here comes a second cop - is he running to arrest the person committing assault?? Oh no…nope. He’s running to help the person committing assault 🤦♂️
Tell me again how not all cops are bad…
Acab
Police defund the police🤑
Just get out the way & mind your business… it’s that simple.
More thugs in blue action.
There is time to back your BRO up even means hel on hell fight ..but fear of all mini war and such what stops you!
Huh? Whachu takin bowt?
Thank you for mentioning how this happened to someone Black. It will get more media coverage and generate more outrage.
Because it is outrageous
@@hopehall153 I think it's outrageous when it happens to anyone. Maybe media outlets could mention when it happens to each group to further bring attention to it.
Cop was 100% wrong. But the video appears to purposely cut out seconds earlier where the guy was in street recording. And he does slightly impeed the officer from getting to the scene. Cop should still be arrested for assault but i don't think its as simple as randomly attacking a black guy.
How did he impeed the officer?
@@hubbahubbazootzoot You can see the cop hitting his brakes as the guy is jumping up on the curb trying to get out of the way.
@@Winser22 - The big problem that cop will have... will be explaining to a judge/jury WHY it was ever necessary for him to exit his vehicle on the driver's side... then run around the BACKSIDE of his car in order to get to a crime scene that was IN FRONT OF HIM AND ALREADY UNDER CONTROL by his fellow officers. Where did he learn the "life-saving" technique of running behind his own squad car TO ASSIST fellow officers in distress, that are just few feet IN FRONT of his vehicle?? Do they teach that at the Police Academy?
Police Skills 101 >> Drive at High Speed to the crime scene >> Exit your vehicle >> Immediately Run a Football Route behind your own vehicle >> then BEFORE even knowing who is a suspect, or who is a perpetrator, or who is a witness, or who needs help, or who is a victim... just SHOVE the first guy you see BEFORE rendering ANY aid to your fellow officers, or to any victims.
Is that what they teach in the Police Academy??
If the Cop thought it was an "emergency" why is his first instinct to RUN BEHIND his own vehicle, when he could have easily exited his car and walked STRAIGHT AHEAD to help his fellow officers?? And when he gets done explaining that... he will have to explain why he thought it was necessary to PUSH a bystander who was already on the sidewalk & out of his direct path by the time he finished running around the back of his vehicle.
Think about it...
His fellow officers are in trouble.. but he has the time to respond to a WISE CRACK that a bystander hurled in his direction?
That is literally what we all see in the video.
So it means the wise crack was more important to respond to immediately.... than the AID his colleagues might have needed??
Is that what they teach in the Police Academy??
That guy needs to find a different line of work. Because he is not suited for Law Enforcement.
His "rabbit ears" are gonna get himself (or his partners) severely injured on the job one day. Or maybe worse.
Shut up BOOTLICKER
The upstanding citizen has no right to be in the street to film. The officer was wrong to use the language he did. The upstanding citizen's use of words likely to provoke a violent reaction as well as indicating resistance to a lawful order definitely merited additional attention from the officer.
This article wrongly attributes the actions of the officer as a negative response to the filming when there's no evidence of that. The officer was doing his job making the scene safe for officers, the suspect, and Innocent bystanders as he should although his use of foul language was inappropriate.
What? The guy is standing on the pedestrian walk. Did the cop wanted to drive into that sign pole, or what? How he was in the way, when the officer had to get out on the driver side, than run around behind the car to the other side, to get to the scene, that is in front of the car? Is he summoning something by running aroundin circle or what is the purpose of this action? Could you elaborate that?
What street was he in Stevie? What "lawful order" did he resist? "WORDS likely to provoke a violent reaction..." Wow...If you think those blue line egomaniacs have a free licence to attack anyone that responds to their unacceptable language w/ their own constitutionally protected speech, I've got 5 words for you, the same that Mr. Guss said, " Shut your bitch ass up."
This guy is just a troll
@@richardpaquette8352 Nope, bootlickers are really just that stupid.
@@Konstruktivtrollyou can see the cop having to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the guy. He was in the street not paying attention. Not saying what the cop did was right but he didn't just pick some random black guy to beat up.
Guss is in the street filming. Got to be on the sidewalk. Then he chest bumps the cop. Sorry, no pay day.
You're a psychopath aren't ya !
He jumps onto the sidewalk as the patrol vehicle arrives. He is on the sidewalk when the cop jumps out and shoves him unnecessarily. Then he insults the cop, and the cop comes back to assault him. So, no.
So you will indemnify the city for the cops behavior?
Do you need glasses or are you wearing blue lenses? Guss is on the SIDEWALK the entire time. He gets pushed backwards into the parking lot by the little man with the badge. Did you miss that fool running around the BACK of the SUV to create contact with the victim? The most direct path to the vehicle stop was in front of him but for some strange reason he runs around the back...for what?
I assume you'd also say the Stop sign right beside him was also in the middle of the street. There's something about the culture wars in America that makes otherwise rational people spout biased drivel.
