Here is a video of the LASD at work on a Metro Bus: LA County Sheriff’s Deputy Punches Special Needs Woman In the Face.
From Reason.com:
Two L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies tried to remove a woman with special needs from a public bus. When she refused, one of the deputies clocked her in the face. NBC has the video, which was taken on a cell phone by another passenger. The deputies attempted to confiscate the video, but the passenger said no. Upon his refusal, one of the deputies asked the passenger if he had any outstanding warrants.
The lesson:
Screw the environment. Buy your car now. (one)
Please don’t tar LAPD with the same brush as the Sheriff’s Department. LASD, the agency for whom these cops work, is probably about 20 years behind LAPD in terms of reforms.
You’re right! I changed it. posted in a hurry this morning. Got it right in words, wrong in acronym.
