California Police Officer Suspended After Video Shows Him Stomping on Suspect's Face
California Police Officer Suspended After Video Shows Him Stomping on Suspect's FaceA Redding, California, police officer has been placed on leave after he was seen "forcefully stepping" on a suspect's head as he and other officers attempted to arrest him on Monday, Jan. 23.
The officer was not identified by Redding Police Chief Bill Schueller, who posted an announcement of the incident on Facebook on Sunday.
The chief said he placed the officer on leave after a video of the arrest, involving several Redding police officers, was posted on social media.
The clip showed a police officer pinning the suspect, identified as 39-year-old Kevin Donald Hursey, to the ground before he is attacked by a K9. A group of officers then surround the suspect, who can be heard screaming, before one of the officers is seen stomping on the man's face.

(8,300 posts)In line with me while we were waiting were two former, fairly large CBP officers. In describing their former jobs they alluded to the closed door policy while smashing their fist to their hand with delight. I will never forget their glee as they told me this. And yes, this was in California and I have almost no doubt they got the job.

When we have to drive through the county, we only stop at the one known-safe gas station at the edge of town (technically in Anderson not Redding).
