It is good these cops are being hit with charges, but they have to make sure they go to jail to deter cops from doing their brutality.
If they are just getting slaps on the wrists they are just going to keep doing.
A Fort Lauderdale Police officer who was seen on video pushing down a kneeling protester now faces a battery charge.
Broward State Attorney Mike Satz announced Tuesday that officer Steven Pohorence, 29, was charged with battery for “intentionally touching or striking” the 19-year-old woman by “pushing [the victim] to the ground,” according to court records.
The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor, which carries a maximum punishment of up to one year in jail.
In another incident, body camera footage shows Pohorence appearing to place his knee on the neck of a man who refused to get off a transit bus.
This is BAD cop.
Put him in jail.
Here are videos of the incidents.
