Officer Kicks Pursuit Suspect in Head After He Surrenders KTLA News 7:55 PM PDT, May 13, 2009

SOUTH EL MONTE -- A third car chase in a span of five hours Tuesday ended with a foot pursuit and a police officer kicking a suspect in the head area.

Helicopter footage showed the driver of a gray 4-door sedan speed the wrong way down a street in an eastern area of the county.

He then crashed into an oncoming vehicle, got out the car and ran into a residential back yard.

When he saw officers, the suspect -- identified by police as 23-year-old Richard Rodriguez, of El Monte -- dropped to the ground with his arms outstretched.

Moments later, an officer from the El Monte Police Department ran up to Rodriguez and appeared to kick him once in the head or neck area.

A second officer arrived immediately after and used what appeared to be a baton or flashlight to strike Rodriguez in his side several times.

After Rodriguez was taken into custody, the first officer could be seen giving a high-five to one officer and slapping another on the back, according to reports. It was not clear if those officers saw the kick.

El Monte Police Chief Tom Armstrong said he wanted to "look at all the facts" before making any comment.

The pursuit began around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday when the officers tried to pull Rodriguez over following a traffic violation.

Rodriguez swerved in and out of traffic, across sidewalks and through busy intersections and narrowly missed several other cars.

Officers in hot pursuit followed him for about 30 minutes on and off freeways and surface streets east of Los Angeles.

The car had two passengers, according to police. Someone threw items from the car on a freeway onramp, but officers were not able to immediately locate those items.

At one point, a passenger jumped out of the car shortly after the vehicle exited the 605 freeway. It appeared the chase had ended but tRodriguez and another passenger sped off again.

Rodriguez eventually lost control of the vehicle going the wrong way down a three-lane street and crashed.

That's when he got out of the car and ran from officers.

The car's second passenger was arrested without incident.

Rodriguez was on parole and is a member of an El Monte street gang, police said.

He was booked for parole violation and for investigation of felony evading arrest and obstructing a police officer from performing his duties.

He was being held in the El Monte jail before being transferred to a county jail.

Just minutes earlier, a man accused of fatally shooting a woman in Panorama City led authorities on another freeway chase in a pickup truck that ended when he surrendered in Corona.

An officer kicks the head of a suspect surrendering to police.

LOS ANGELES -- Despite lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread, a suspect -- who police say is a known gang member -- got a face full of police boot on Wednesday.

Chief Responds to Video of Beating

Watch VideoEl Monte Police Chief Tom Armstrong watches and responds to video of an officer kicking a suspect. El Monte Police Kick Suspect After Chase

Watch VideoEl Monte Police kick a suspect after a long high-speed pursuit. The kicking cop added insult to injury by giving a post-beating high five.

"I'm looking into it, and I don't have all the facts yet," said El Monte Police Chief Tom Armstrong, who watched the video in a KNBC-TV newsvan.

"I worked internal affairs for four years and I have learned that you do not make a decision in a vacuum," Armstrong said. "I do not know what was in the mind of that officer, as to why he did that. I saw the individual turn his head toward the officer."

As for the officer with a flashlight seen striking the suspect in the video, Armstrong said, "...it appears (the suspect) had his arm underneath his body. You cannot see what was in his hand."

"This is going to be looked into, and it should be. ...I'm not here to make a decision or tell you what that officer did was overtly wrong until I know all the facts," Armstrong said.

Lt. Chuck Carlson of the El Monte Police Department said the department's Internal Affairs Unit will investigate to see if excessive force was used.

"There were some phone calls from some citizens. One of the news copters had video they thought showed excessive force," Carlson said.

Late Wednesday afternoon, the driver was identified as 23-year-old Richard Rodriguez of El Monte.

Rodriguez was booked on suspicion of felony evading. He also was held for possible parole violation, meaning he is not eligible for bail.

Rodriguez is a known gang member, Carlson said. He was making hand signs during the pursuit forming an F, "as in the El Monte Flores gang sign."

The pursuit began about 1:30 p.m. at an attempted traffic stop in El Monte, Calif., police said. Authorities tried to stop the motorist for a traffic violation, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jose Nunez.

Rodriguez opted to keep going, heading onto the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, then exited in Baldwin Park, police said.

The driver had two passengers in the car, but when the vehicle came to a stop in traffic, one of them jumped out and surrendered to police. The driver, however, sped off again, and unidentified objects were thrown out of the car.

The driver used a sidewalk to avoid traffic before getting back onto the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, where he was met by two patrol units.

Going about 85 mph, Rodriguez took the 10 to the southbound San Gabriel River (605) Freeway and exited on Whittier Boulevard, where the car immediately slammed into a sport utility vehicle.

One of the occupants was taken into custody almost immediately and Rodriguez ran to the back of a nearby apartment complex and was arrested there.

This wasn't the only police pursuit of the day. A driver in a red pickup led about 20 California Highway Patrol units on a nearly hour-long chase in Corona.

The K9 officer tried to get the DAWG to bite the prone suspect, too. He grabbed the man's ankle (while ordering the pooch to attack I bet) but the DAWG wouldn't bite.

I understand that police officers get very excited when in high speed pursuits because they can turn grim and deadly in an instant.

In fact, my daddy told me long ago that if I ever try to outrun a NY State Trooper I can expect an ass whupping when they catch me...

But, it really looks like Hell to kick a man in the head while being filmed from a news copter, and this Lieutenant is probably going to be retiring soon....

And the other cop who may have cracked some of the suspect's ribs with a flashlight? Well, I'm betting that he won't be insulated by seniority and someone will have to be sacrificed.

Here in DE a small town police chief was involved in a foot pursuit of a "colort gent" and when the cops caught the guy the chief, and older Italian chap was abusive to the already handcuffed suspect.

As luck would have it there was also a state trooper present when the chief was proving what a "tuff cop" he was, and the resulting news story and stink resulted in the chief's immediate retirement in lieu of charges.

Of course DE is a police state and it's understandable that the AG would be reluctant to prosecute and take the rotten bastard's pension so late in his career. You know, "no autopsy no foul"?

El Monte, Ca was the town immediately North of where I lived and that whole east side is home to many poor and working class Mexican Americans and of course many of the LA County's more notorious Hispanic street gangs. And, the local departments (and unincorporated areas patrolled by the Sheriff) are accustomed to their cops handing out a different kind of law and order than Zsa Zsa might expect from a Beverly Hills patrol cop.

And, the militant Hispanic NGOs and community groups complain so bitterly every time the police use force that they can't get any action in cases where it's warranted because of their lack of credibility.

And, many of the silent majority who fear the criminals and who aren't sympathetic to whiney Mexican pressure groups will naturally side with the police even when it ain't such a clean use of force.

The political climate and racial stalemate in So CAl may result in a compromise as it often does for this reason.

We all saw what happened in the Rodney King case when GHW Bush spoke against the LAPD.

Don't be too shocked if the PTB decides that it's better to let the criminals and their anti white-anti police support groups seethe over this ass kicking than to start riots that end in millions of dollars in fire damage and senseless deaths.

Of course the man who was abused may suffer permanent nerve/spinal damage as a result of a kick to the neck (Did you see the angle of his neck after that kick?) but, crims often suffer the consequences of their actions when the use of force is justified. He may sue and win but, don't be surprised if the LT isn't charged, but is allowed to retire.

The only major change to police work over the past century is that now some 'work' is captured on camera and posted on the 'net.

This was way out of line regardless of the suspect's history. the evil pig relished in kicking the guy in the head potentially killing him!

Also, the pressure groups are irrelevent to the actions of the pig, which are commonplace. the fact that the pig was 'amped up' about the chase is no justification for any of this.

To say that the Pig's behavior was unprofessional would be about the mildest thing one could say about it. Even if the guy being busted was scum of the earth, and would appear to be, it is not the action of a professional Peace Officer to sink to the level of the thug he is arresting. This will likely cost the city a LOT of money and make the criminal a sympathetic figure.

I personally don't believe the police should arrest people like. they should beat the hell out of them a few times and if they don't learn they should be offed.

I was raised with a bunch of people who never learned from reason, but they learned from getting beaten up.

Reportedly, local reaction to the incident was very mixed (no pun intended), with most probably in favor of it.

Long distance sanctimony is the sine qua non of liberalism. The stench of the Matrix tends to creep into everything, and I'm sure this was only a momentary lapse by Indie.

I never never learned what the initial 'traffic infraction' was, but I guarantee you that whatever it was, it did not warrant all that ensued.

High speed pursuits are so inherently dangerous to all motorists and the police that the cops are understandably angry and excited when a pursuit ends with an arrest.

Even if cops in pursuit stay well back so as not to escalate the speed or dangerous maneuvers used by the perps, an innocent motorist changing lanes at any time can cause a major pileup and flaming wreckage, and if I was an officer in pursuit I'd be contemplating my own mortality too.

Some smaller towns and counties have outlawed pursuits because so many end tragically, but, in Los Angeles such a law would result in a massive crime wave, so they are caught in a dilemma.

The fact that cops don't think about news copters filming as they pummel suspects is a pretty good indication of how excited they are after pursuits. It's also indicative of the message they wish to send to others who may try to elude the police. Although I understand why they feel that way, if they abuse suspects they should be shown the door.
