Stumble ThisThe pursuit began about 1:30 p.m. at an attempted traffic stop in El Monte, Calif., police said. Authorities tried to stop the motorist for a traffic violation, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jose Nunez.
Rodriguez opted to keep going, heading onto the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, then exited in Baldwin Park, police said.
The driver had two passengers in the car, but when the vehicle came to a stop in traffic, one of them jumped out and surrendered to police. The driver, however, sped off again, and unidentified objects were thrown out of the car.
The driver used a sidewalk to avoid traffic before getting back onto the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway, where he was met by two patrol units.
Going about 85 mph, Rodriguez took the 10 to the southbound San Gabriel River (605) Freeway and exited on Whittier Boulevard, where the car immediately slammed into a sport utility vehicle.
One of the occupants was taken into custody almost immediately and Rodriguez ran to the back of a nearby apartment complex and was arrested there.

put a weapon in their hand and unleash them unto the world.
"the milgram experiment".
the suspect did put innocent lives in danger driving the way he did,and he attempted to evade and elude the officers,but in the end he gave up peacefully.
sad to see an officer of the law abuse his position and behave in a very unprofessional manner.
ok...
the pot starts at 25 bucks.
im betting two weeks paid administrative leave,extra "training" and a note in his permanent file.
who wants in?
if i were a judge i would throw out any lawsuit pending for this.
this person willfully endanger people lives and wouldnt care if they got hurt.
gangster should be taught a lesson. I hope he goes to jail. Leave the officier alone. Let him continue is great work!
It's a two-way street. If the punk endangered others and antagonized officers, he shouldn't be surprised to be brutalized. But if the cops violate anyone's rights and blatantly break the law, they shouldn't be surprised if any second-rate lawyer can get the guy off. In both cases actions have consequences.
(Lastly, I'll add that if you cheer on the officers violating the rights of people, don't be surprised if one day they kick you in the face, because they decided to play judge and jury with you.)

Behavior like the suspect exhibited clearly necessitates two facekicks.

If you hate this country and its populace, wouldn't it be simpler for you to move?
P.S. - Best title ever.
Call me insensitive, but I don't really have a problem with this case of police brutality. This guy deserves a kick in the head for endangering the lives of many people in a stupid bid to get away from police.
You are much more detrimental to human progress than you'll ever realize.
Yes, it should be dealt with in the courtroom, and not by dealt by the arresting officer. He should be reprimanded, written up, and face suspension. This should be a serious detriment to his career. However, unlike for instance the beating of a peaceful minister who declines to answer questions, there shouldn't be career ending ramifications. Extenuating circumstances render his actions--while indisputably wrong--understandable and to some degree forgivable.
All of this happened because tyrannical thugs, just like these cops, made drugs illegal. If crooked cops and a corrupt justice system tried to throw you in jail for several decades on an unjust charge, what would you do, walk right into the jail house?
How can you consider your life worth living if you are ready to voluntarily surrender it to others?
When you put tattoos on your face, it's a pretty safe bet you've chosen to exit cooperative society.
