California Deputies in Viral Video “Feared For Their Safety”

How many times will police trot out the “fear for their safety” mantra, before investigators disregard it as the “boiler plate” copaganda that it is?

Two Alameda County deputies used their batons to beat the ever lasting crap out of a suspect who fled their arrest from the Oakland area into San Francisco, as you can see in the video below.

Stanislov Petrov suffered 30 baton strikes.

Without civil rights watchdog group, the [__Center for Human Rights and Privacy__](http://www.cehrp.org/), we might never have seen the 22 police reports filed on the single, bloody arrest.

California deputies Paul Wieber fellow deputy Luis Santamaria managed to miss the entire beating on their body cameras, which were conveniently turned off.

Nine more deputies arrived at the scene.

Nine more body cameras were turned off.

Without the grainy surveillance video, nobody would ever know why Petrov had broken bones and needed to be hospitalized, or they might’ve thought he did something more to resist than anything he could to keep his face off the pavement.

But then deputies Wieber and Santamaria got scared, yelled “Get on the ground!” and when Petrov complied, they went to town, in fear for their safety from their mincemeat prey.

According to [__SFGate.com__](http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Deputies-in-SF-beating-video-say-they-feared-for-7041530.php):

> In a statement, San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi said the deputies’ description “does not match the surveillance video of the brutal beating.”
> Adachi, whose office initially released the footage, said that the video camera was the “ultimate objective witness” and that it shows deputies “striking a man with their batons more than 30 times while he writhes helplessly.” The public defender said the deputies’ failure to turn on their body cameras was “an attempt to cover up their misconduct.”

Adachi wants the San Francisco District Attorney to charge the cops.

In fact, [__Michael Haddad__](http://www.sfgate.com/search/?action=search&channel=bayarea&inlineLink=1&searchindex=gsa&query=%22Michael+Haddad%22), the Oakland civil rights attorney representing Petrov, told SFGate that the two deputies used “similar, boilerplate language to try to create some plausible defense for why they struck Petrov in the head so many times,” because “You can see Petrov is not resisting. He’s lying prone on his stomach while he’s being beaten on the head.”

According to SFGate’s interview with Haddad, Petrov suffered a concussion and will “never have full use of his hands again,” and his lawyer expects to represent Petrov in a civil suit for damages against the Sheriff’s Office, which he intends to file soon.

Broken body cams, bashed bodies and a high speed chase with a needlessly bloody ending?

All in a day’s work for the safety conscious Alameda Sheriff’s department.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
