On April 9, San Bernardino sheriff’s deputies were caught on video by a news chopper beating up out of Francis Jared Pusok, who fled on a horse that kicked a deputy.
(Pusok’s attorney says the deputies were trying to serve a warrant that had nothing to do with him.) Yesterday, the county settled in record time for $650,000. Pusok told a Los Angeles TV station one of the deputies whispered in his ear, “This isn’t over.” Right, this won’t be over until he’s fired, because retaliation has no place in legitimate policing.
