Update (with Audio) to previous post: Cop Reinstated Despite Beating Caught On Video
A second Huntsville police officer, fired for violating departmental policy during an arrest, has gotten his job back. Thursday evening, the city council voted to reinstate Bret Russell. Russell was terminated in May. The council decided he could return to his job as a sworn police officer after serving a 30 day suspension. He will then be on probation for six months and must go through several training courses.
Last Thursday, council members voted to reinstate P.J. Lee. Lee was fired from the force at the same time as Russell. He also appealed and received the same suspension.
The incident which ultimately lead to his termination took place on December 23, 2011. Dash cam video captures Officer Russell punching a handcuffed man several times, then throwing blows to the man's body with his knees. Records show the man was beaten so badly he had to be
transported to the hospital.
Attorneys for Russell argued that the man was resisting and that his actions that day were within department policy.

Typical. These videos are the norm not the exception. People can argue he spit and kicked out a window, but that does not give the officer any right to do any kick of physical damage to another human. The cop should be exiled and excommunicated from his community. I wonder how he treats his wife.

"Stop resisting!" The oldest ploy there is for brutal cops. He was already cuffed!
They re-insatated these two thugs? Incredible.

You know when you kick and punch and tazer and hit with a police baton... It hurts and as a natural subconscious or even at a conscious level a person will do there damnd'est to get away from what ever is causing them that pain.
Enters the police officer... STOP RESISTING, STOP RESISTING, STOP RESISTING!
As yourt are beaten tazed to a pulp.
Makes no sense at all.

@givemeadamnname
It makes PERFECT sense, it allows you to victimize and assault a restrained person who can't fight back; if you're into power tripping and pain, it's a beautiful thing!
It is a standard ploy to disguise and excuse police malfeasance.

@BunkerGearGal Unfortunately it appears to be the case that sadist and boys who were bullied or were the bullies are all to often police officers.

The police even standing there allowing this to happen should be fired and the douche bag hitting him should be tazered in the dick. I hope Obama does something about this if he eve see's this video.

Simply assault and battery clearly committed by at least one officer. Criminal.
