Police are supposed to protect citizens instead of attacking them. Even if they are arresting someone, if that person isn’t resisting, then there is no reason to use force. This didn’t happen with a California off-duty officer who was attacking a Purple Heart veteran because he was using his constitutionally protected right to public speech. The video taken of the interaction is quite disturbing, especially with how the California off-duty officer was behaving. He manipulated the narrative of what was happening so that the officers on duty would use force as well. When will such an event stop happening?
Redding, CA — Off-Duty Redding PD officer physically assaults Purple Heart Veteran for Constitutionally-protected public speech, uses excessive force in slamming him headfirst onto ground, and kneeling on his head/neck/shoulder.
