How could it be worse, he lay on his belly and put his hands behind him in the hand cuff position, and they cuffed him and then beat him into the hospital

Just a hunch.

Listen to the news chopper female speak at the very beginning of the video. They had just then arrived on scene and started their video.

Those on the ground had their Sheriff's chopper low and loud, orbiting right over the top of them. Those on the ground likely had no idea a news chopper with a big camera lens had just arrived, far above the the Sheriff chopper. Rural, in the high desert hills.

I'm very confident they'd never do what they did in front of a news team or cameras.

You are right, but as I watch more and more of these videos, I am starting to think that they don’t care about being caught on film, nearly as much as we think they do or should.

There is a growing unease in me, that if we don’t get law enforcement under our control in this country, that as the years and decades go by, that they will become less and less concerned about what we catch them at.
