Video reblogged from The Daily What with 969 notes
BAMF of the Day: An LA Country Sheriff’s deputy reportedly attempted to intimidate an army war vet who used his cellphone to record the cop punching a mentally disabled woman on a bus in Bellflower, California.
“I think they would try to cover it up,” said Jermaine Green when asked why he refused to hand over the video to the deputies. “I think a lot of things get covered up and people need to come forward if they see something, report it because it can’t be fixed unless it’s brought to the public’s attention.”
A spokesman for the sheriff’s department would not comment or look at the video, but said they would investigate if an excessive use of force claim was filed.
