The video shows a man running from police when a sheriff’s deputy throws him to the ground. Within seconds there are five officers on the man, who is lying in what appears to be a dirt lot.

One of the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office deputies shoves the man’s head into the ground while other officers punch the man in the head and back.

The incident was caught on surveillance video from a nearby car repair shop in August and shared on Facebook. Now, one of the deputies, James Pregel, has been fired for “conduct unbecoming,” WSPA reports.

Need to be charged as well.

I hate that dick wads like this overshadow the 99%+ positive encounters LE have each day.

It sounds bad but let’s wait for all the facts. Maybe the guy talked back or had an attitude or something.

I am not a fan of cops, but if you don't run there's a lot less chance of getting your arse kicked.

The last thing they expected was that the body shop they assaulted the guy in would be owned by redneck libertarians with cloud storage security cameras.

Does anyone else see a problem with the local police dressing like they are in the army? Never forget that power corrupts. I’m not anti police by any stretch, but when they pull shite like this it really makes you wonder.

I kind of agree with you. I’ve seen a lot of cops at school functions and at the Y and they wear tactical gear a lot. It’s just weird. Are the only ones in uniform anymore at schools and public areas?

Yes. The militarization of the police is a big issue.

So if me and 4 of my buddies beat the shite out of someone I'd just get fired?

Considering there were 5 of them in on this I think it is safe to say it's not just 1% or less that are bad as so many claim.

What gear do you propose they forego?

Hunters fricking orange, head to toe. No reason they should be dressed like the military. If they dress the part then some assume the part.

what? So you just want the color of their clothes to change?

Should AR15s be banned because they look scary?
