Nothing says tough guy like kneeing a man in the face when he has handcuffs on.

Initially, prosecutors charged Oestmann with misdemeanor assault. The case was ultimately resolved through a plea deal where Oestmann pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor menacing charge. The terms of the agreement allowed him to have the guilty plea wiped from his record in one year, provided he adhered to court orders, and he served no jail time.

Side note. You might be surprised at just how many people with mental illness are charged with felony assault on a police officer for either spitting or resisting arrest in which a cop gets a light scratch or bruise. I'm all for supporting the police, BTW, but it really is unconscionable for the police to charge people with felonies for basically freaking out in the midst of a mental health crisis. There are thousands of people with mental illness in county jails right now facing felony charges under just this scenario. 

(To be clear, I know the dude in the video was not in a mental health crisis. He looked drunk as hell, and he was an asshole. Just saying, the circumstances are similar -- and even worse when it's a person who is having a legit MH crisis.)

FAFO!!  What a dumbass.

 

Face tats are a bad life choice. Spitting on a rent-a-cop is a bad life choice. Disproportional response is a bad life choice.
