Officer Zachary Rosen is under investigation and has been temporarily reassigned. Brutal footage of an Ohio policeman stamping on a young black man's head as he lies handcuffed on the pavement has been published online. The offending Columbus officer is now under investigation. The two minute clip – filmed and uploaded on Saturday 8 April – shows Officer Zachary Rosen charging up to restrained suspect DeMarco Anderson and violently trampling his head into the ground during an incident in Columbus, Ohio. Prior to the attack, Anderson can be seen lying face down on the pavement handcuffed and held down by another officer. He is not resisting arrest and the situation is under control. Seemingly unprovoked, Zachary then charges in from off-screen and smashes the young man's head against the pavement, which can be seen at the start of the video. Columbus Police said in a statement: "Officer Zachary Rosen is under investigation for his actions that took place involving a suspect under arrest on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Officer Rosen has been reassigned to a non-patrol duty indefinitely." Police were called to a firearms incident in the vicinity of Maize Road and Weldon Avenue, according to 10TV News. John Marteny dialled 911 after Anderson allegedly entered his house, woke him up and fired the gun. Reflecting on the apparent brutality shown by Rosen, Marteny said: "I think that was totally justified cause he could have got loose somehow." The Columbus Police statement added: "Based on what we've [seen] in the video taken on Saturday April 8, 2017, the action taken by one of our officers does not meet the standards by the Columbus Division of Police. "It appears to be inconsistent with the values and training we instill in our officers. The officer self-reported a kick to the suspect while the suspect was in custody. "We'll learn more as the investigation continues and take appropriate actions based on the facts gathered. The officer has been temporarily reassigned." 10TV also report that Rosen was involved in the controversial shooting dead of a young black man, Henry Green in Columbus last year (2016). A Franklin County grand jury determined that Rosen and another officer should not be criminally charged. Officer Zachary Rosen appears to kick DeMarco Anderson in the head without provocation

Today, this. Yesterday, the battering of a paying passenger to take his seat, contrary to federal law. Getting real tired of out of control law enforcement. Time to start slapping regulations on them and taking their immunity away.
It is long past the time when badged bureaucrats should be subject to the same penalties as civilians.
Look at their faces at the 01:00 minute mark when they finally notice they're being filmed.
There was another video this morning of a cap face-slamming a guy into the highway for jaywalking. And I do mean "slamming",and the guy wasn't even resisting. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Oh, please. The officer was simply cleaning the bottom of his shoe on his head.
Right at the beginning, the person with the camera says "I'm videotaping you sir". So I'm guessing he knew. At the one minute mark they're just giving him the stink eye.
The headstomper was not on-screen yet. It looks like headstomper drove up, ran over and stomped in a matter of seconds. So it isn't clear the stomper heard that. The arresting officer was behaving well up to that point.
Ohio Police officer filmed subduing an armed, drug dealing, scum sucking burglar who was resisting arrest.
Really? The cops held their own trial and decided all by themselves he was guilty? There's no evidence that DeMarco Anderson was an armed drug-dealer and burglar. There is plenty of evidence however that he was in custody and handcuffed when he was brutally stomped in the head. The Columbus Division of Police say Rosen self-reported the incident. Later, the department condemned his actions in a statement. The action taken by one of our officers does not meet the standards by the Columbus Division of Police. It appears to be inconsistent with the values and training we instill in our officers. Mayor Andrew Ginther also made a statement and called the video disturbing. "The behavior we saw in the video was unacceptable and inconsistent with our values as a community. It erodes the trust the residents of this city place in law enforcement." Why not? You've already decided the cop was guilty. "There's no evidence that DeMarco Anderson was an armed drug-dealer and burglar." According to the above article, "Anderson allegedly entered his house, woke him up and fired the gun". There's your armed burglar. And from another article, the cops found drugs on him -- which he claimed they planted. As to "scum-sucking"? That goes without saying.
Very good percussionists. Would like to hear what they could all do on sets of Slingerlands, & Zildjian's. I would guess it would be impressive. See if they could keep up with Graham Lear.
