Richmond police officer repeatedly strikes Black man as he films an arrest 

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.

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.

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

Unfortunately, the taxpayers will pay this judgement. The cops will probably get a promotion.

It seems the cops are defunding the city.

Huh? Whachu takin bowt?

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.

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

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.

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.
