In news from California, video released by the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office shows two Alameda County sheriff’s deputies beating a man as he lies on the ground. The security camera footage appears to show Stanislav Petrov, a suspected car thief, stopping and appearing to surrender, right before officers tackle him to the ground. The officers then punch Petrov and whale on him with their batons. Public Defender Brendon Woods compared the beating to the 1991 Los Angeles Police beating of Rodney King and called for a federal probe.
