Ohio Cop On Paid Leave After Beating Black Man During Traffic Stop (VIDEO)

Video of an Ohio cop brutalizing an unarmed black man appears to undercut the initial police story about what happened.

The Euclid Police Department originally released a statement claiming that Richard Hubbard III had ignored Officer Michael Amiott‘s instruction to “face away” as he stepped out of his car and then began to resist.

Dashcam video, however, appears to show Hubbard fully complying. As Amiott repeats his instruction, Hubbard is in the process of turning away–and then the officer appears to snap.

Amiott grabs Hubbard’s arms, pushes him, kicks him, and with the help of another cop, wrestles him to the ground. As the two officers hold Hubbard down, Amiott slams his head into the pavement multiple times and punches him repeatedly. The other officer retreats as Hubbard’s girlfriend jumps out of the car, screaming.

5. Even cops are innocent until proven guilty n/t

6. Nice in theory .. In practice prosecutors let truly guilty overzealous trigger happy cops

Off the hook.

There are truly two different prosecutorial standards. One for cops and one for the rest. Cops never ever get proven guilty even if they are. Period.

4. The cops definitely screwed up the initial laying of hands.

However, after that, physically resisting arrest is just going to get you a beating before they put the cuffs on you.
