Lawyer View's Video Of Violent Arrest By Riverside County California Deputy Sheriff's, Calls Arrest Unacceptable, that Police Officers Should Be Fired And Prosecuted
2006-10-21
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – The sheriff's department is still reviewing that video from Monday night's arrest seen live and exclusively on NewsChannel 3.
Today, I spoke with someone who's well versed in civil rights violations. James Jordan is the lawyer for the man who videotaped the Rodney King beating in 1991. He described what happened on Monday night as "unacceptable."
On Monday night, at least six Riverside County sheriff's deputies took down 35-year-old Robert Hamilton. Hamilton allegedly violated his parole and led authorities on a 100-mile-per hour chase.
While he was down, one of the deputies appears to hit Hamilton with what appeared to be a flashlight. Another hits him three or four times before he's cuffed.
Attorney James Jordan reviewed our tape several times.
He said, "That was absolutely unnecessary. That officer ought to be discharged and he ought to be prosecuted in federal court for civil rights violations."
