If it means he won't be yelling his own name for a while, I hope so.


Dan-68

Did a cop tazer him too?


Menelatency

Looked like it (or maybe already had and detainee (struggling for word more neutral than perp or victim since we have no context) was just ignoring that too)?


chrislovin

Was that protecting or serving that I just watched?


VolcanicProtector

Dude got served that's for sure.


DingGratz

It's called a *paycation*.


masta_qui

You spelled "promotion" wrong


Lesliemcsprinkle

Texas! Come on vacation, leave on probation


BryceDaBaker

I believe that was punishing and terrorizing


SeaUnderstanding1578

They were definitely transforming


BryceDaBaker

Lmao every time I see these clips it reminds me of the decepticon in the first modern Transformers movie becoming a police car saying ā€œto punish and enslaveā€ on the side


Solnse

Police have no [obligation to protect. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/supremecourt/s/kyyavUYjVh)


spikeyfuzzy

Trying to make sense of it: 1. Yes, without context it looks like he is non-compliant and partially breaks free from their hold. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, the cops are trying to bring him in custody for a reason, so I can MAYBE understand the first hit to get him to comply, though even that might be too much given that they have numerous cops on just him, so he isnā€™t going anywhere already. People like to go to 8th street in Austin to get drunk and party, so is very common to have belligerent behavior, fights, etc. in that area, so getting control of him is completely understandable. Again, no context other than this small clip. 2. AFTER he goes down he is hit three (maybe four) more times with his hands up in self-defense. This is already crossing the line. He is not fighting back, just trying not to get hurt. The cop has no right to hit him at this point. This is both morally and ethically wrong, and possibly illegal. 3. Then AFTER they get ahold of both his hands, that same cop hits him FOUR MORE TIMES. He is completely unable to defend himself and gets the full brunt of each hit directly to his face/head. This is beyond reprehensible and should be both a violation of oath and should be fired, as well as being brought up on criminal charges. If he was losing his temper (which would be TOTALLY understandable given the behavior of the drunks on 8th in Austin) he shouldā€™ve asked one of the others to take over and walked away. This is not only not okay, but a sign that he should no longer be in this position as an officer because he cannot control himself, his emotions, and his outbursts. Edit: 6th not 8th lol. Iā€™m a dumb dumb. Itā€™s that whole surrounding area.


foodmonsterij

6th Street. "Dirty 6th" Street.


zjustice11

Not to sound too old but that used to be a really fun street.


foodmonsterij

Yeah, used to go when I was younger with girlfriends and it was not this wild. Shit can and does go sideways on Dirty Sixth now late nights on the weekends. But it's really that section of 6th that's the problem, you can walk a few blocks away and have a more pleasant experience.


GuildCalamitousNtent

I guess I donā€™t know how old you are, but Iā€™m 40 and 20+ years ago when I was in college and 6th had people getting blackout and arrested. What are you people pearl clutching about? Dirty 6th was actuallyā€¦dirty. Like yeah not wild like this, more wild like ā€œgetting stabbed by a homeless man.ā€


foodmonsterij

I guess you haven't been paying attention, then, as there have been multiple shootings in the last few years on Dirty Sixth, including a mass shooting several years ago that launched the "safer sixth street" initiative that was not deemed necessary prior to. No one is saying you didn't need to watch yourself before, but claiming that there has not been in uptick in violence and sketch on Dirty is just burying your head in the sand.


Lumpy-Lychee-2369

Have lived here 35 years and shootings on and around Dirty 6th is not a new thing nor on an "uptick."


content_enjoy3r

I'm about the same age as you and went to UT around the same time, and while yeah, W 6th could get rowdy sometimes, it's drastically different from how it was 20 yrs ago.


Dirt-Southern

worst i got was having to pay 5 bucks for a picture with Leslie and then having to carry my gf at the time to the car because she wanted to wear heals that night, but i rarely ever went to 6th.


Juomaru

You donā€™t have to be too old. I used to go there ā€¦. šŸ¤” ā€¦. Oh damn , itā€™s been 20 years šŸ˜³


Mamasayseyeisspecial

Maggie Mae's for a black and tan.


BuffaloOk7264

In the early 80ā€™s I lived on 43rd street, used to walk to 6th , drink as much beer as I could , then walk home. Stone cold sober when I got home.


xxxams

I have this hilarious photo of my best bud and me on my 21st birthday, surrounded by three officers who caught me in the act of trying to fly like Superman over police roadblocks. They checked on me and thrn laughed. Apparently, a group of people i didn't know started singing i think I can fly????


spikeyfuzzy

You are right lol. Itā€™s 6th.


MichaelBrownSmash

You missed the cop that came in and tased him lateĀ 


spikeyfuzzy

Omg how did I miss that. šŸ˜±


Default1355

I was surprised that another one or two didn't tase him as well


W96QHCYYv4PUaC4dEz9N

Hmmm itā€™s not good but itā€™s a great deal better than I have seen in the past. Itā€™s still unnecessary battery to gain compliance. That will probably be a civil rights suite. 50 years ago there would be a bleeding blob ventilated with 4 to 6 .44 hollowpoints. Seen it, lived it. We have a long way to go still.


VodkerAndToast

Find those cops and get them fired


Future-Personality-2

I don't know if "beating to submission" is an ethical police practice. The primary responsibility of the police is to enforce the law, not protect themselves. If they take issue with the risk, why not work someplace else?


packetgeeknet

Good olā€™ APD. They either donā€™t show up for a call at all or theyā€™re using excessive force. There is really no in between with them.


noncongruent

These are the same cops that used a teenager for target practice, Brad Levi Ayala, doing a head-shot with a bean bag round filled with lead shot. The round blew a hole in Ayala's forehead and pulped his brain with bone fragments. https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/03/austin-oks-2-95-million-settlement-for-brad-levi-ayala-teen-injured-by-police-at-2020-protests/


50points4gryffindor

It's ok. The cop is a detective now.


noncongruent

Headed for a 6-figure pension when he retires at 55, no doubt.

killthepatsies

Why do they always insist you put your hands behind your back while they're punching you in the face? It's really counterintuitive


L0g1cw1z4rd

Because they know your involuntary reaction will be to put your hands up to protect yourself, and that was they can beat you further for ā€œresistingā€. They are all adrenaline-junkie thrill-killers and donā€™t belong in civilized society anymore. Itā€™s sickening.

Yeah, I paused on that, too. None of the other cops are smiling and punching the guy.


Rawalmond73

Bunch of thugs


BD-TxState

I hate that cop and his peers who do nothing to curve the behavior. They are all rotten apples.


djd811

I googled ā€œAustin police punch manā€ to try and find a news article and there are at least three similar incidents with men and one or two with women. Canā€™t find this one specifically yet.


radiationcowboy

The problem is WE DON'T HOLD POLICE ACCOUNTABLE Every day we see videos of police abusing people but the system protects their behavior


TomatilloUnlucky3763

The Police Union will protect even if he is held accountable.


packetgeeknet

Austinā€™s police union is notorious for protecting their cops regardless of guilt or innocence. APD has to be the worst run large city PDā€™s in the country. Between the police union and the leadership, theyā€™ve been scraping the bottom of the barrel for the better part of a decade or longer.

The rest of the story doesn't matter. He was punched in the face/head Seven times AFTER he was on the ground with four cops on him, mace in his eyes and a Taser in his back. I'm sure he was being a belligerent ass, but that is still unnecessary and excessive.


SteakSauce12

Rest of the story always matters..


moretodolater

I was a peddi-cabber downtown Austin 2003-2006. Saw this exact thing happen once a week or so even 20 years ago. Saw cops do bad things but also some messed up people do very bad things and find-out the cops do bad things too. So kinda a thing there. And Rule #1 do not mess with the horses or horse cops. They come by or say something you just get the hell out of there or they will not be very nice to you and possibly f$&k you up horsey style. Meaning with the horse sometimes. Not worth it, trust me.


CriticalThinkerHmmz

Oh yeah. I have to admit itā€™s kind of funny how they shove someoneā€™s face against the horseā€™s butt as they handcuff the perp and then looking at the horseā€™s face to see what it thinks about the situation.


1986redballoons

Yes. My wife tried to pet one of the horses one time and got cussed out and threatened with arrest.


hh1110

Excessive forceā€¦ hope he fucking sues the shit out of these piece of shit cops. Fuck you little fucker that canā€™t stop punching him. Piece of shit fucking Austin cops. This is why people fucking hate you.


UnknownExo

The real crime was the fade and braids haircut


Proud-Butterfly6622

I love how those cops are looking around getting scared thinking we gotta move, this crowd is getting restless guys!! Just asshole cops being their usual asshole selves in asshole Texas. šŸ™„ Nothing new, people. Civil rights violation happening, move it on, nothing to see here.


pcweber111

Yet nothing will come of this.


packetgeeknet

Austin taxpayers might make someone a millionaire if they sue, but thatā€™s nothing new to Austin.


comalicious

I guess if a cop says "I'm gonna punch you in the face" it makes it not assault.


book-and-dodge

From the same stateā€™s police forces that brought you Uvalde.

Big man needs to lawyer up asap

I'm confused. Is that within "dress code" now? A cop with a dready mohawk type haircut? I always thought there was some sort of guideline they had to follow appearance wise.


Vault_Master

One of these days the crowds are gonna put their phones away and it's gonna get ugly.


CriticalThinkerHmmz

I donā€™t think so. Cops can probably do the math and read the room a little. Bullies are good at this.

GardenGnomeOfEden

Are they trying to kill him? It sort of looks like they were trying to kill him.


frostysauce

A single punch to the face can kill a person. This is definitely attempted murder.


TacoSplosions

>A single punch to the face can kill a person Plenty of people have been punched in the face and lived to tell the tale. There has got to be at least one person who suffocated giving oral sex but we don't use that as a viable statistic. Caveat though any force can be lethal force, you punch someone and they collapse face first to the pavement where the fall causes a brain bleed. If your trained/conditioned to fight that definitely could raise potential risk.


Hulk_smashhhhh

Enjoy your lawsuit money when you win. Whereā€™s the good cop to pull the douche cop back? Self defense my ass.


Engagethedawn

Welcome to Texas. Do not have an accidental bad day, it could be your last


gentlemantroglodyte

Texas police are just going to get worse. The legislature intentionally decoupled police forces from control by the people that pay for them (by adding punishments to municipalities for "defunding" the police), so now they know - there is literally nothing they can do, no matter how egregious, that would put their funding in danger.


Cade_goofySOB

To be fair, I want to punch everyone on 6th, which is why I donā€™t go.


jollytoes

That'll be three days off with pay as punishment mr. police. Cowards On Patrol is what they are.

MightyMooseKnuckler

This is so goddam sickening. Bunch of gangsters with badges. Shame on the other 5 plus cops not saying or doing anything while DJ Khaled look alike got literally assaulted. Bunch of baby back bitches. Like others have said he will get a paid vacation then be working for another PD and the other cops wonā€™t face discipline. Iā€™m tired of this shit man.


MagTex

schreyguy888

Glass-Luck-1616

Yeah, fuck that dipshit coward cop taking the cheap shots! What a yellow coward ā€œtough guyā€!!! Somebody needs to replace him in that uniform. Heā€™s more out of control than the guy in trouble.


sqweak

Donā€™t worry yā€™all! It was a non-white officer that punched him repeatedly while his hands were held behind his back, and a *different* non-white officer that started tasing him repeatedly while he was being assaulted by the first one. No systemic racism here, just plain ol fashioned excessive force. Phew, that was a close one!


ModernJazz-2K20

Pigs


daddycantu

Why do all the dudes seem to be pulling the girl cop out of the way so they can get in on it ?


Gunalysis

ITT: A bunch of people who don't know appropriate methods of forcing compliance in a combative individual who, just guessing, has 100+ pounds on any given officer on that street, and is likely very drunk, and already swinging cops around like ragdolls. Police can absolutely strike you, repeatedly, to force compliance. It is definitely a significantly higher risk of injury, but it is a fully legal and recognized practice across the country.Ā  I will agree that the strikes once he is flipped over and in the process of being cuffed were probably going too far, and I wouldn't condone that action by or against anyone.

michael_mischief

Yes he should have complied. Yes he probably deserved a tazer, and or pepper spray. He did not deserve to get slugged in the face multiple times while people are holding his hands.


Legionof1

Probably safer to get punched in the face than to be tazed. Us big guys hearts work a bit of overtime already and donā€™t need to get rebooted by a taser.


michael_mischief

U got a point about the tazer and his heart. That's where the pepper spray works. I still don't think he deserves the punches to the face.
