Frank Hernandez was caught on bystander video repeatedly hitting a man during an attempted arrest in 2020.
In the video, the man repeatedly taunts the officer with expletives as he leaves the lot and walks down a sidewalk.
Hernandez eventually stops the man and starts to handcuff him. As he’s doing so, Hernandez says, “Don’t fight, you’re fighting,” and then suddenly starts punching the man, who does not resist. As the pummeling continues, a woman in a nearby house is heard telling Hernandez’s partner that she needs to calm him down. “I know,” the woman officer, who has not been identified, says.On the video, as backup arrives, Hernandez says to the man, “You grabbed my hand. That’s why I hit you.
“Wearing a badge does not give an officer the right to use unreasonable and excessive force,” Gascón said in a statement. “When this happens, it erodes trust in the community and can impact our collective safety. My office will continue to hold officers accountable when they break the law.” Hernandez was placed on administrative leave following the incident, and he was “separated from [the] Department in May 2021,” according to LAPD Sgt. Bruce Borihanh.Frank Stoltze covers a new movement for criminal justice reform at a time when not everybody shares the same vision.
