Lol just suspended. If we did that jail immediately. Its starting to become very clear why people dislike the law enforcement situation

[MidnightCravings]

Suspended with pay? You mean paid VACATION. This brutality has to stop dammit.

[zachheselov]

He's technically getting paid for punching somebody

[jennvain]

Woman who took video is afraid of them coming for her. That says a lot about the system in America.

[cheniselauer]

How is that a punishment suspended WITH pay? Its basically vacation!!! That's bull!!!

[bobbyharper]

It's being investigated only because someone happened to capture the incident on video. Otherwise it would never have been known. Scary thought.

who's really gonna be hurt by getting suspended with pay.. that's a damn reward. Most people have to work for that salary, but cops are the only ones who can kick the living shit out of a cilivian and still get suspended, yet catch a paycheck at the same time. America.

[ppinmouth]

So none of the other cops tried to restrain the man going crazy on a female 🤔😤

[TheAlex]

Don't spit in ANYBODY's face. Still, the cop should know better.

Police always seem like they're not trained enough..

[mattiedavis]

Omg? Police nowadays are not trained to handle people with mental issues anymore, or anyone as a matter of fact. Their patience n empathy is gone. They all seem nowadays to escalate the situation 10 times worst than it was.in the beginning. He doesn't need pay? Our taxpayers money? For assaulting someone? Smh

[nickkazarian]

With pay...WTF??? Not jailed like any else of us would have been?

[frenchvanilla]

Suspended with pay is why their behavior will continue! Cops can do anything and you refuse to fire them! So this type of cruelty will continue!

[ThumbdownMan]

suspended with pay huh. its a paid vacation to him.

[marthamendoza]

Woman thank u for exposing this dirty PIG!!!! I believe they should be suspended WITHOUT PAY!!!! HOPE HE ROTS IN

[iNexTTx]

I no longer think it's a race issue, it's a police issue.

[shebal]

Then the other officers held her while he punched her... . No one said bro chill out. That's enough!!

[xxangel_queenbellaxx]

How do people treat people like this.
People stop hateing on me

[amakadius]

With pay? Why not fired and arrested as well as charged?

[henrymccomments]

Officer given paid vacation let’s say what it really is
