Santa Maria, CA — Disturbing video was posted to Facebook this week which is causing a firestorm of controversy as it shows multiple Santa Maria police officers using an insane amount of force against an unarmed man who appeared to be trying to comply with their commands.
According to police, officers pulled over the man in the video for suspicion of driving under the influence after he made several traffic violations. What should have been a routine traffic stop, however, quickly morphed into an unnecessary standoff between a half dozen heavily armed cops, their K9, and an unarmed harmless and confused man.
“All of a sudden we heard police sirens that were coming our way. Shortly after that, we saw two cars and I thought maybe they were going to some sort of emergency,” said one resident in the area. But it was no emergency, it was just a confused unarmed man kneeling down in the street and multiple cops who appeared to be too afraid to approach him.
The video was taken from a bystander who watched the incident unfold in front of her home. As the video shows, police are barking multiple orders at the man who is on his knees—with his hands in the air, trying to comply. A half dozen cops all have the unarmed man at gunpoint as their dog continues bark, creating an intense and hard to respond to situation.
The man then complies with the officers’ orders to lie face down on the ground but because his hands aren’t exactly where they want them all hell breaks loose. As the video shows, the man is lying on the ground, face down, when an officer decides to start firing rounds of pepper spray balls at his face.
The savage decision shoot the unarmed man in the face with pepper spray balls caused him to lift up his head in pain which set off a chain reaction of police violence.
When the man lifted up his head, multiple cops then jumped on him and began punching and shoving him around. All the while, police are yelling at the man to “stop resisting” as if it is super easy just to lay still as multiple cops shoot chemical weapons at your face and punch you.........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cops-shoot-unarmed-peaceful-man-in-the-face-with-pepper-spray-balls-sic-k9-beat-him/256095
