Video of violent arrest in Whittier raises questions about deputy's use of force
Troubling video of a violent traffic arrest in Whittier is raising questions about whether a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy went too far in making an arrest.
Video that is part of the use-of-force investigation shows the 23-year-old transgender man pulling into the parking lot of a 7-Eleven in Whittier with the deputy pulling up behind him. "The deputy immediately approached him at the door of his car and said, 'I stopped you' and the young man said to him, 'No you didn't, get your hands off me' and it immediately escalates the level of force," said Brock's attorney, Thomas Beck. "He does a takedown, lands on top of him and then you can see him raining punches into the kid's head."
"He saw that the woman was in distress so when he drove by he flipped him off," Beck said. "And left it at that. Kept going."
