Apple Valley horse thief gets severe beat down by 11 deputies.
2015-04-10
[CBS] The San Bernardino County Sheriff ordered an internal investigation Thursday into an arrest caught on NBC Los Angeles' NewsChopper4 video that showed deputies beating a suspect when they caught up to him following a wild desert chase on horseback.

Aerial footage showed the man falling off the horse he was suspected of stealing during the pursuit in San Bernardino County Thursday afternoon.
Hey Leonard, come around again so I can zoom in. I think that poor bastid just took one in the nut sack.

He then appeared to be stunned with a Taser by a sheriff's deputy and fall to the ground with his arms outstretched. Two deputies immediately descended on him and appeared to punch him in the head and knee him in the groin, according to the footage, reviewed several time by NBC4.

The group surrounding the man grew to 11 sheriff's deputies.

#4  When I first saw the video (someplace else) I didn't realize he was a horse thief.

Its kindof combining aspects of kidnapping and auto theft.

Horses don't just happen. First off, they are expensive, then you have feed, water, medicine, the daily chore of food and water, stable cleaning, and breaking, training - especially if it is a work horse. As all this happens, a person becomes attached to the horse (if not you are not a horse person and should not have horses like you would a child. I know you dog people understand that paragraph.

Violates Economy of Force. It's like slowing down for 'road construction' to view 2 men working and seven others standing around watching.
