Boyes Hot Springs, CA — Only in police state USA could an argument over a husband failing to notice his wife’s haircut end with police tasering and severely beating a man as he lays in bed. That is exactly what happened to Marine Corps veteran Fernando Del Valle — and he’s got the video to prove it. Although the incident occurred last September, the video was just released. It shows the horrifying nature of a problem cop who’s overly prone to violence. On the night of September 24, Del Valle, 38, and his wife had some drinks and got into an argument after he failed to notice her haircut. The argument became heated but never once turned physical. As Del Valle retreated into the bedroom and locked himself in, the couple’s screaming got the attention of the neighbors, who, in turn, called the police. Just as the argument begins to calm down, cops burst into the couple’s home. Del Valle, who is trying to go to sleep in bed is then woken up by the sound of Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies breaking down his bedroom door. Before the video begins, the deputies allegedly order Del Valle to stand up. That’s when Del Valle turns on his camera and warns the deputies, “I got you on video. Go ahead. Tase me.” Remember, Del Valle had committed no crime and had harmed no one. Yet, here he is with three armed men in his bedroom threatening to inflict bodily harm on him. And, within seconds, that just what Deputy Scott Thorne, 40, did. “Sir, I’m just laying here trying to sleep and you’re …,” Del Valle said. “I’m not standing up. I’m in my house. I’m sleeping.” As Thorne steps forward, he’s seen on the video aiming his taser at the bare chest of Del Valle who is wearing only gym shorts. He then fires. When the taser hits him, Del Valle can be heard screaming. At this point, the baton comes out, according to Del Valle’s attorney, and Thorne begins laying in to the defenseless man in his own bed. “He’s not doing anything!” his wife screams as the deputy continously beats her husband over and over with his baton and taser. The video then ends as Del Valle shouts repeatedly, “Call my lawyer!” Del Valle was not able to record the entire encounter, but the beating continued well after it stopped. According to the Press Democrat, a spokesman for Sheriff Steve Freitas could not comment on the cellphone video but agreed the deputies’ three videos raised concerns from the start about excessive force. After watching them, department brass immediately turned the case over to Santa Rosa police for criminal investigation, Sgt. Spencer Crum said. “We acted very swiftly and Scott Thorne was no longer employed by us,” Crum said. “We are very concerned this is an excessive force case. We acknowledged it from Day One.” As the Press Democrat revealed in their investigation, Thorne should’ve never been a cop as he’d been fired from previous jobs over his track record of excessive force. However, none of that matters to Thorne’s attorney who is naturally defending the actions of this brutal cop. “His position is he followed procedure,” Thorne’s lawyer Chris Andrian said, noting that he acted in accordance with his training. As for Del Valle, after he was severely beaten by Thorne — for no reason — he was then arrested and brought to jail. However, once police attempted to charge him with something, they realized they had no evidence of him committing a crime, so he was let go. Del Valle’s lawyer, Izaak Schwaiger, said, in all, Del Valle was tasered 2 to 3 times and suffered at least 15 baton blows, causing neurological damage and a separated shoulder. Del Valle has since filed a lawsuit against the department, seeking damages above $25,000. Poster Comment: As the Press Democrat revealed in their investigation, Thorne should’ve never been a cop as he’d been fired from previous jobs over his track record of excessive force. There's a real shocker!! The cop probably "feared for his life" because Del Valle had a lethal weapon nearby - a pillow!

But the point I want to make here is that these fake news and yellow journalism always mention the military association with the perp but never mention the military association of the law enforcement officer(s). Had the author done this, the lead in to this article would probably been written as …
No, they aren't. You are trying to make a claim that ex-soldiers make good cops. It ain't necessarily so. Soldiers have a combat mindset, a trait we are starting to see too much of in modern policing. Cops are not soldiers. Add to that - many if not most police departments have been hyper-militarized. Cops are taking on tactics of soldiers, armored vehicles, military-style uniforms, military mindset where all citizens are viewed as criminals. Either way - the military "culture" seen in most police departments has a dangerously influential impact on law enforcement. How the War on Terror Has Militarized the Police The most serious consequence of the rapid militarization of American police forces, however, is the subtle evolution in the mentality of the "men in blue" from "peace officer" to soldier. This development is absolutely critical and represents a fundamental change in the nature of law enforcement. The primary mission of a police officer traditionally has been to "keep the peace." Those whom an officer suspects to have committed a crime are treated as just that - suspects. Police officers are expected, under the rule of law, to protect the civil liberties of all citizens, even the "bad guys." For domestic law enforcement, a suspect in custody remains innocent until proven guilty. Moreover, police officers operate among a largely friendly population and have traditionally been trained to solve problems using a complex legal system; the deployment of lethal violence is an absolute last resort. Soldiers, by contrast, are trained to identify people they encounter as belonging to one of two groups -- the enemy and the non-enemy -- and they often reach this decision while surrounded by a population that considers the soldier an occupying force. Once this identification is made, a soldier's mission is stark and simple: kill the enemy, "try" not to kill the non-enemy. Indeed, the Soldier's Creed declares, "I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat." This is a far cry from the peace officer's creed that expects its adherents "to protect and serve."
It has not….militarization of police forces has simply become the latest buzz phrase for cop-haters.

What would you have to piss and moan about….oh, you would find something, no doubt.
What would you have to piss and moan about…. What's reprehensible is that a so-called American citizen like yourself is a pom-pom waving cheerleader who applauds the rise of the Amerikan police state.
What is not understandable is why you have such a deep seated fear of the police and an uncontrollable hatred for cops. What did some cop do to you that you didn’t really deserve?
It's not unreasonable to fear the police, even if you have done nothing wrong. It's best to avoid them and shun them when they approach you in a business. I see cops pretty much every morning when I stop for coffee - I just ignore them. As we have seen time and time again, cops often get away with killing innocent American citizens - it's almost a daily occurrence. I don't hate all cops - just the bad ones. In fact I posted a story about a "good" cop just the other day. Never Forget: Hero Cop Who Blew Whistle on OKC Bombing Did NOT Commit Suicide
It's not unreasonable to fear the police … No, I am not playing doctor. One need not be a psychiatrist to recognize your malady, it is visibly evident to everyone who reads your article and posts you make. Here is something that worked for a 5-year-old girl….and you can experience something similar the next time you see cops when you stop for coffee in the morning. FORT WALTON BEACH — When 5-year-old Anna Hock’s daddy was pulled over for speeding Tuesday night, she was terrified the officer was going to take him away. The little Fort Walton Beach girl cried through the brief traffic stop. She cried for two hours after they got home. She woke up in the middle of the night, worrying, and cried some more. Her parents, Kyle and Sarah, tried to reassure her. “I explained to her that he’s a police officer and his job is to protect,” Sarah said. “They were protecting us and everyone around us because Daddy was going too fast.” But Anna remained convinced and terrified. The next morning when Kyle, who had gotten off with a warning, took her to school at First United Methodist Church, he explained why Anna was so tired. Later that morning, Kyle and Sarah got texts from the school with photos of Anna sitting happily in a patrol car, hugging a police officer and posing with officers and the rest of her kindergarten class. The staff at the school had reached out to the Fort Walton Beach Police Department, which responded by sending officers Jeff O’Dell and Adam Dee to ease Anna’s fears. “One of our major goals is to reach out to our schools and to give kids those one-on- one interactions that let them know we’re here to help,” Capt. Tracy Hart said. Anna went from being afraid that her family was going to be taken to jail to considering law enforcement as a career. “As a mom, it blessed me and it definitely touched my heart,” said Sarah, who posted a heartfelt thank you on the Police Department’s Facebook page. “I’m so thankful for our local police department and for her school.”

I'll be waiting with bated breath for Deckard's after-action report. Now I'm really excited.
That's something more suitable for a badge-licker like you, wouldn't you say? I have no interest in fondling cops - why do you? I'll just stick with my plan and ignore them.
No, I am not playing doctor. Why yes - you are "playing doctor". And your diagnosis is bullshit like the rest of the swill you post here. It certainly is not unreasonable to at least be wary of cops, ignore them whenever possible. And I have posted numerous times - I hate the bad ones. Unfortunately - you and others of your submissive ilk worship the ground they walk on. In case you didn't get the memo - they are not your "friend". They are no longer Peace Officers - they are called Law Enforcement now. Which means that they are little more than revenue collectors for the State. I view them the same way they view ALL citizens. As the enemy. The pricks brought that upon themselves. I posted a story about a "good" cop just the other day. Never Forget: Hero Cop Who Blew Whistle on OKC Bombing Did NOT Commit Suicide Guess you ignored that one.
Why would her mother lie to her like that?

This is tragic and should never have occurred. A Marine Corps veteran police officer tasered and severely beat a Marine Corps veteran as he lay in bed.
See what I mean. because … The majority of law enforcement officers are ex-military and many are still active in the reserves or National Guard.

Your paranoid fear of the police is manifested in your unreasonable and uncontrollable hate for them.
Hey, Deckard, the next time you see the cops when you stop for coffee, ask them to let you sit in their crusier, turn of the flashing lights, tap the siren….and then give each one a big hug and thank them for their service. You will be a better man for doing this …
