Boyes Hot Springs, CA — Only in police state USA could an argument over a husband failing to notice his wife’s haircut end with police tasering and severely beating a man as he lays in bed. That is exactly what happened to Marine Corps veteran Fernando Del Valle — and he’s got the video to prove it. Although the incident occurred last September, the video was just released. It shows the horrifying nature of a problem cop who’s overly prone to violence. On the night of September 24, Del Valle, 38, and his wife had some drinks and got into an argument after he failed to notice her haircut. The argument became heated but never once turned physical. As Del Valle retreated into the bedroom and locked himself in, the couple’s screaming got the attention of the neighbors, who, in turn, called the police. Just as the argument begins to calm down, cops burst into the couple’s home. Del Valle, who is trying to go to sleep in bed is then woken up by the sound of Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies breaking down his bedroom door. Before the video begins, the deputies allegedly order Del Valle to stand up. That’s when Del Valle turns on his camera and warns the deputies, “I got you on video. Go ahead. Tase me.” Remember, Del Valle had committed no crime and had harmed no one. Yet, here he is with three armed men in his bedroom threatening to inflict bodily harm on him. And, within seconds, that just what Deputy Scott Thorne, 40, did. “Sir, I’m just laying here trying to sleep and you’re …,” Del Valle said. “I’m not standing up. I’m in my house. I’m sleeping.” As Thorne steps forward, he’s seen on the video aiming his taser at the bare chest of Del Valle who is wearing only gym shorts. He then fires. When the taser hits him, Del Valle can be heard screaming. At this point, the baton comes out, according to Del Valle’s attorney, and Thorne begins laying in to the defenseless man in his own bed. “He’s not doing anything!” his wife screams as the deputy continously beats her husband over and over with his baton and taser. The video then ends as Del Valle shouts repeatedly, “Call my lawyer!” Del Valle was not able to record the entire encounter, but the beating continued well after it stopped. According to the Press Democrat, a spokesman for Sheriff Steve Freitas could not comment on the cellphone video but agreed the deputies’ three videos raised concerns from the start about excessive force. After watching them, department brass immediately turned the case over to Santa Rosa police for criminal investigation, Sgt. Spencer Crum said. “We acted very swiftly and Scott Thorne was no longer employed by us,” Crum said. “We are very concerned this is an excessive force case. We acknowledged it from Day One.” As the Press Democrat revealed in their investigation, Thorne should’ve never been a cop as he’d been fired from previous jobs over his track record of excessive force. However, none of that matters to Thorne’s attorney who is naturally defending the actions of this brutal cop. “His position is he followed procedure,” Thorne’s lawyer Chris Andrian said, noting that he acted in accordance with his training. As for Del Valle, after he was severely beaten by Thorne — for no reason — he was then arrested and brought to jail. However, once police attempted to charge him with something, they realized they had no evidence of him committing a crime, so he was let go. Del Valle’s lawyer, Izaak Schwaiger, said, in all, Del Valle was tasered 2 to 3 times and suffered at least 15 baton blows, causing neurological damage and a separated shoulder. Del Valle has since filed a lawsuit against the department, seeking damages above $25,000. Poster Comment: As the Press Democrat revealed in their investigation, Thorne should’ve never been a cop as he’d been fired from previous jobs over his track record of excessive force. There's a real shocker!! The cop probably "feared for his life" because Del Valle had a lethal weapon nearby - a pillow!

Hey, Deckard … The police officer in the video you posted shot and killed a Navy vet. Now a Vietnam vet in the video I post here shot and killed a police officer. Some may say that kinda evens things up….huh? Notice how many the police officer in the second video kept repeatedly yelling to the Vietnam vet to “put the gun down.” Unfortunately, the police officer told the Vietnam vet one too many times to put the gun down….and lost life for being too patient and too reserve. The police officer should never have told the Vietnam vet one even time to put the gun down….the police officer should have shot the son of a bitch immediately when the Vietnam vet pulled gun.
That cop waited way too long to shoot. He should have shot as soon as the vet went to the cab to get his gun out with no further warnings. Some would say he had grounds to shoot when the VietVet charged him physically while acting nuts. I wouldn't disagree. If you charge a cop with obvious hostile intent, you're gonna get shot. If it was me, I would likely have shot when the crazed screaming combat vet charged at me physically. At that point, everything turned lethal. Wiki: Murder of Kyle Dinkheller He was 22. His only son was born 8 months after he died so at least he didn't win a Darwin Award but he really should have shot sooner. No one would have faulted him. His killer was finally executed in 2015. Long overdue. And confining him for 15 years cost the taxpayers at least a half-million and that's before you get to all the endless legal expenses for all his appeals.
I was reading about this, only to return and find you had posted the information. Thanks …
You always have far too many “hate-cop” threads going on at once. How about limiting them to one a day so that we all need no be continually jumping back and forth and sometime posting on the wrong thread….as I just did. But, what the Hell…the my message is befitting for both your threads …
Don't blame me for your idiocy asshole.
That’s really no problem….I’ll tear this article to shreds, now that I have finished ripping the article about Blanchard to pieces.

Gee, I think not - unless you want to defend a cop who has already been fired for his egregious behavior in this case. After watching the videos, department brass immediately turned the case over to Santa Rosa police for criminal investigation... “We acted very swiftly and Scott Thorne was no longer employed by us,” Crum said. “We are very concerned this is an excessive force case. We acknowledged it from Day One.” As the Press Democrat revealed in their investigation, Thorne should’ve never been a cop as he’d been fired from previous jobs over his track record of excessive force. Read that again Gatslime - fired from not just one job but JOBS. How many? More than one obviously - 3, 4? Probably at least. What other profession allows you to be fired from a job for beating people up and then going to the next town and getting the same job? Certainly not the military. Certainly not any job field that I know of. And you really want to keep defending this POS when his own employers won't? This is a big part of the problem - why is it you never see these assholes JAILED after they have been fired? Instead they just sign on with another PD and continue the same abuse.

Although Brannan's lawyers tried to get his death sentence commuted on the grounds that he was not criminally responsible for his conviction by reason of insanity, both the Georgia Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene on his behalf on the day his execution was scheduled to take place.[15] Brannan was executed by lethal injection at 8:33 p.m. (EST) on January 13, 2015. He was 66 years old at the time of his death at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison near Jackson, Georgia.[18] He made a final statement, in which he said "I extend my condolences to the Dinkheller family, especially Kyle's parents and his wife and his two children" and "I feel like my status was slow torture for the last 15 years. I had to say that with them here. I have to tell the truth. I'm certainly glad to be leaving."[15] A pastor then delivered a prayer and Brannan was executed.[15]
