April 16, 2010 — Chicago – A Streamwood police officer’s own dashboard camera has proven to be his downfall. Officer James Mandarino is facing charges of aggravated battery and official misconduct after he was caught on video beating an unarmed motorist. The video, recorded March 28 after a traffic stop, shows Mandarino getting out of his squad car with his gun drawn, and approaching an SUV driven by 28 year old Ronald Bell of Streamwood. Bell is seen with his hands up for about a minute and a half before Mandorino orders and then pulls him to the ground. The video shows Mandorino beating Bell with his baton 15 times in 13 seconds. All the while, Bell is trying to protect himself. He was beaten on the head, back and arms and suffered a concussion and required seven stitches to close a gash on his right ear. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez announced the charges Thursday after a two week investigation. “The conduct displayed on the video by this officer is not only disturbing, it’s outrageous and it’s unacceptable,” Alvarez said. “Every law enforcement officer holds his or her powers through the public trust and this officer’s senseless act of rage against an unarmed motorist constitutes an offensive violation of that trust.” Mandorino posted bond and was released after court. The 15-year veteran with the Streamwood police has been relieved of his duties and put on paid administrative leave according to the department. As he left court reporters peppered him with …
@darpachief lol
the guy fuckin kneeled down, why do u continue to beat him. if he rli didn’t comply, ok u may have the right to beat him once or twice to get him to comply, but this is like fuckin 30 swings to the guy which he’s KNEELED DOWN WITH HANDS ON HIS HEAD
yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People running from police totally derve to be tased, beaten, and hit with a baton while unprotected 15 times, and intentional blows to the head. The Cop is well within his rights.
fuck me… how is this guy still employed? fucking pig. he should die.
Nice ink!
fuckin pig cunt
@robinhoodtn1
I hope this cop and all cops who engage in this type of brutality die of slow, painful deaths from anal cancer. I am going to read the obituaries every day and every time a cop’s name is in an obituary, I’m going to have a drink to celebrate.
@SmokeyCough
I agree, but the taped recordings should be transmitted to an independent cop watch group so they can not be edited in any way by a corrupt force trying to protect a corrupt cop from getting in trouble.
@sparkyscooter
Two cops I knew when I was younger wound up in jail for confiscating coke and selling it. I just hope they complied with the big inmate who told them to lie on their back and comply with their azz raping or they would deserve the beat down in to submission they would get before their azz raping!
Fuck your caution. This is American we know the story.
Fucker, should have defended his brother. PERIOD.
This makes me sick. I hope every one takes his name down. Get him fired and put in jail.
I feel sorry for my fellow Americans. Most of us have been enslaved/brainwashed by a despotism system here in the United States in which individuals are in fear of authorities for what may happen to them if one is to challenge the oppressors!
In this case, the men being beat clearly had the right to defend himself, and his brother, had he had a gun, had absolute human right to shoot that coward in uniform to defend the weak!
Listen to this song, people! /watch?v=Zk69e1Vcmvg
I normally side with the Police but on this video the cop didn’t even give the ‘suspect’ a chance to comply. He put him on the ground and the guy just went to all fours. Not sure what the cop said because of the no audio but I am sure this guy would have complied if told what he was pulled over for and asked to get on the ground totally. This guy wasn’t given any chance at all.
Inexcusable police abuse!
@FallofShadowz cops don’t need a reason there just chicken shits with a badge and they believe there above the law most of them find out there wife’s is cheating with a black guy and that causes the cop to go out and beat,kill,rape and anything else they want to do,there all a bunch of losers
People keep your cams and cam phones with you 24/7. Every time you see a cop doing something you know is wrong start videoing. Keep enough distance from them so they have no excuse to come towards or even address you. If they do see you videoing they probably will tell you it’s illegal. IT’S NOT. If they tell you to turn off the cam DO NOT COMPLY. You can set up a live feed through your phone so if the cops did snatch your phone and deleted vid it’s too late. Stream to net as it’s happening.
One other thing people watch “Don’t Talk To Cops Parts 1&2” over and over until it’s ingrained into your memory. Listen to what the law professor and the cop have to say.
@kaihoosi1 beating people in private
Yep! SEE what happens when you let The Man take your guns away? See what the pigs can do when you can’t defend yourself?
The pig will walk! They’ll get a paid vacation, and they’ll be held to no account! Get real Chicago! DEMAND that your right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS IS RESTORED!
Anybody that beats me will have to meet my little friend Mr. AK47
Sometimes you just gotta take a stand
@saludahead
Man, I would have introduce Mr. AK 47 to Mr Pig Face
hay, cops are outta control, and because they are getting busted by technology violating and killing BLKS they (cops) are transitioning to innocent unaware, but sometime prepared white ppl who also wanna know what did they do? Well this guy is lucky he did not get a bullet in his back. Jut think about it YOU TUBE This could have been you.
@MrRightAllTime I got a dandy little SKS that works REAL well for such situations!
chop off the cop’s head and throw yelling “this is sparta” lol
