: TalkLeftAn Inadequate Response to Police Brutality
By TChris
Pablo Valenzuela deserves to be charged with battery for pepper spraying a West Palm Beach police officer on May 26. But the officers who punched and kicked him after his hands were cuffed behind his back are equally deserving of criminal charges. One officer has resigned and two have been placed on administrative leave, but none of them are immune from prosecution. With clear video evidence of their misconduct, why haven't they been arrested?
This comment is even more puzzling:
West Palm Beach Police Chief Delsa Bush says "there was a thin line basically between giving officers a commendation and then ending up having to discipline them."
Bush said "having the video I chose to substantiate the charge of the use of excessive force." So without the video she would have given commendations to officers who beat up a handcuffed suspect?
