Pittsburgh police Taser a man and beat him with clubs as dozens of onlookers at PNC Park chant and scream in a video that appeared across the Internet this weekend. Scott J. Ashley, 41, of Friendship was arrested at Saturday’s Pirates game and charged with four misdemeanors, including public drunkenness and resisting arrest. The video shows two officers taking at least six swings at a man meeting Ashley’s description, first Tasering him to little effect before clubbing him in the neck, head, side and legs before he is eventually cuffed on the concourse floor. “We both feared for our safety,” city detective Francis Rende wrote in a criminal complaint filed yesterday. The other officer named is Lebella, but no first name is given. City police spokeswoman Diane Richard declined comment through an e-mail saying she had not reviewed the police reports. Police had to intervene because the man appeared to be drunk, bothered fans in his section and belligerently refused to cooperate with PNC Park staff who asked him to leave, team spokesman Brian Warecki said. “The PNC Park staff is well trained to ensure the safety of our fans to maintain the fan-friendly environment at PNC Park for all fans and followed PNC Park …
I love it beat that drunk
When I see the cops going for what are considered lethal strikes against a guy that did not raise a hand against them, I can only say that was brutality. I hope he sues the shit out of them.
That guy did not deserve that.
that guy fucked up by smacking the other guy in the first place but striking him the way that they did is uncalled for. They would’ve tried the whole verbal submission thing before anything else.
A.C.A.B
I guess I don’t understand what I am seeing here. Was that an American officer striking that man in the head?
I can’t stand obnoxious drunks ruining the family environment at the ballgames. The guy shoved security, and didn’t get down like the cops told him too, maybe the cop should have swung at his legs to get him to go down. Bottom line, he is clearly a douche bag that was bothering people and probably trying to start fights and got what he deserved.
@lmrdjm275 pushed him or not the guy continued to leave the property until he was assaulted by a stupid cop/security, if the guy is following directions why assault him? Even after he was assaulted he stood there like “dude wtf? I’m leaving…” It just makes the cops look like idiots when people with cameras record them and put them on youtube….
@LaGgY42o Wow, open your eyes and ears, how is he “following directions?” .16-.19 the cop tells him to get on the ground 2 times after he assaulted someone, he mocks the cop and that’s when he gets whacked with the baton, after getting hit 1 time at .23 he threatens the cop and takes an aggressive posture that’s when the cop hits him again. What do you expect to happen? After watching it a second time, I don’t fault the cop 1 bit and think he should get a pat on the back for a job well done.
The guy may have been a douche and probably deserved to be ejected. What I don’t get is why so many people think cops are justified in doling out “punishment”. They are supposed to affect apprehension and that’s it. I know they are human and often let their emotions get in the way of what they do, but tasing and striking with a baton seems way too much when they clearly had superiority of numbers. Pat on the back for a job well done? I don’t think so. They can’t even take down a drunk.
The VAST MAJORITY of cops are INCOMPETENT, OVERCOMPENSATING BUFFOONS! This is why they HATE CAMERAS on them and deceptively tell people it’s “illegal to videotape” an “officer” (CORPORATE INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTOR and REVENUE COLLECTOR)
what kinda sick shit is this…..instead of booing gang up on these mother fuckers and beat the crap out of them.
I always love how police officers act all tough with people when its 12 on 1 and then they say there were afraid of the person they beat the shit out of…. nice
All of these fuckin cops should be hung by their testicles,fuck this NWO.
u dudes over there have really lost it, this is worst than nazi germany china north korea.
@AZLuvV Cops haven’t used “verbal submission” for years. Once they got the tazers and clubs they assume everyone is hostile.
The people take orders from pigs.
Here’s the thing…….the cop hits you ONCE with a baton, that my friends is “cooperation time”. Its NOT time to stand defiant looking all badass at COPS! Would this have happened had this dipsh&t not elbowed that kid…..NO. Would his have happened had after the cop SHOWED his displeasure…he got into a submissive pose and cooperated….no. This dipsh1t got what he deserved.
Wish The Footage Was Longer
@Evildoodoer ummm cops have had clubs for years.
