KNBC reported that the man -- identified by authorities as Francis Pusok -- appeared to be kicked 17 times, punched 37 times and hit with a baton four times. Pusok was later hospitalized, KNBC reported, citing authorities.
"The video surrounding this arrest is disturbing and I have ordered an internal investigation be conducted immediately," McMahon said in a statement.
The ACLU of Southern California issued a statement Friday saying that it was "deeply troubled" by the images.
"While we applaud Sheriff John McMahon's prompt decision to investigate the disturbing actions of his deputies, we believe more is needed," the organization said. "Too often the department has failed to address questions, including those raised by the ACLU SoCal, about use of force and Taser policies."

What a great horse! Stayed with the rider
well, you know horses carry tails.
Besides, you know what they did to horse thieves about 150 years ago........Just saying.

Yep. You can tell he didn't like what was going on.
It wasn’t herd or mob mentality, it’s a tacit police agreement and strategy to provide sort of professional cover for the actual culprits — but at this point they’re all culprits, and that’s what the agreement is all about.
What the heck is going on with cops today ?

Nothing. Just more video cameras.
.I hope you never sit on a jury. You'd convict or acquit based on emotion. Left off an >
In before the “You don’t know what happend before the beating” lickers.
Also in before the “They are just a bunch of great guys, of course there’s gonna be a bad one here and there.”
You couldn’t just “like black on an olive”?
That whole “White on Rice” is atavistic and racist...
/S
I don’t think you understand the difference between a jury room and an internet discussion forum.
You must have fun telling everyone on the Clinton threads and OJ Simpson threads to shut up.
They used to hang horse thieves. This guy was born 150 years too late!
I have set on juries for murder, assault, domestic violence, drug dealers and civil trials and have handed down sentences for 30 yrs. in some cases. I would listen to the prosecutors case on the man who was in this video and if it convinced me to the standard to be met by the law I would easily convict the man regardless of the beating he received.
However I would then want to ask the prosecutor when charges were forthcoming on the officers for police brutality, assault and for those who kicked in the man in head attempted murder. If a gang of citizens did this to another person they would be tried without batting an eye, is there another set of laws police live under than their fellow citizens?
I don’t care. Those 11 deputies don’t belong in civilian law enforcement.
HOW DARE YOU bring this into the frenzy! I do believe he was being served for identity theft as well. So he likely ruined someone else’s life as well. Here, we only convict on what we see, not what can be learned!!
How about green on a olive..black is pretty racist. /s
He surrendred. Beat the shit out of him.
