Speedy Arrest?

A little before noon today a man was reported because he was “totally freaking out” and “thrashing around on the grass” off of Henderson near Winco. Eureka Police soon arrived on the scene. It took multiple officers to subdue the man.

A reader, who only wants to be known as Daniel, captured the arrest on video. “[The] cops were hella cool in talking with me and I was able to give them [a] thumb drive and cd of what I captured,” Daniel explained.

According to Daniel, Eureka Police said the man appeared to have taken amphetamines.

did you see the bald cop knee the guy 3 times…? that is so unprofessional and it is assault. restrain him not inflict bodily harm… and the bald cop also has been in other videos harassing and techniquely violating human rights in different ways.. maybe his code of conduct and work place ethics should be looked into.

I don’t think there is a direct correlation between someone’s willingness to house a drug user/ addict/mentally ill person and having an opinion of what is excessive force. So seems like you just didn’t think at all.

The police are doing a great job in spite of the cesspool they have to work in. The community has gone to hell-it is not the safe place it used to be I can’t imagine what the officers see and go through every tour- The community has an epidemic of drugs and major crime the street people are out of control something has to be done.

Yeah. It’s almost like it would behoove us as a nation to put more money and resources into healthcare, treating drug addiction, mental illness, and homelessness.

[edit] How bout I put your ass in those cops place and let’s see what kind of restraint you exercise when a drugged up tweaker starts thrashing all over you. I can’t believe some you people. All you can see is an “abusive” (major iratating sarcasm on “abusive”) and don’t see the bigger picture

If you nottice they also pepper sprayed me affter i stopped moving. Also they put the cuffs on me so tightly i no longer have feeling in my thumb on my right hand, i was able to get out of bed for two days an they released me from holding, for being “under the influence” after two an a half hours when they are supposed to hold u for a min a four. An these people.. Ha theyre comments are a bunch of jokes. Plus i didnt know the epd was trained to treat someone in an unstable mindset like that

The professional manor in which they block the camera looks well rehearsed .
They appear to have done all that without severely injuring anyone so kudos to the officers .

What was the guy’s buddy sitting on the bumper so pissed at the cameraman for? Seems like he would have been happy the camera was protecting his buddy’s rights.

“OUT OF IT” doesn’t mean someone should be beat down, limbs twisted, body pummeled on the ground. The fellow was yelling and having some kind of emotional experience, but he was not HURTING anyone. Cops brutalize people in heavy emotional experiences and who have mental disabilities all the time. It’s wrong- brutal, mean, violent- what the Eureka Police did to this young man.

The camera person should send this video to Tosh.0. The guy sitting on the front of the cop car is hilarious. At least the cops didn’t beat the shit out of him.

Im not a drugged up tweaker i was only under the influence of alcohol i had done meth about 12 hours before but that had very little influence on my “mental breAkdown” or what i call “ascension” (considering my mental capacity alters to a higher degree everytime this r i tual ceremony happens) so those of you that wANNA.
