The video indicates a couple of law enforcement officials keep guy’s hands As One Cop, again and again, Sucker Punches Him

 

Malcolm Coleman, 26, allegedly committed assault with a firearm then resisted officers after they attempted to put him under arrest for it. Everyone will agree that Coleman should be held answerable for his alleged crimes, however, because a cop couldn’t control himself, a person who many will say should be in prison, will likely get a hefty check from the Pennsylvania taxpayers too.

The incident unfolded on Friday when police were trying to find Coleman on charges of assault with a firearm. in keeping with police, after they attempted to require Coleman into custody, he resisted with violence. That violent resistance isn't seen within the brief video below, however.

According to an announcement from Norristown officer Mark E. Talbot, the incident unfolded on Friday, November 6th at 430 p.m. Norristown Police received information that Malcolm Coleman, was within the 200 block of Franklin Street. Coleman was reported to be wanted for an assault with a firearm that occurred in Philadelphia and for a probation violation in Montgomery County. in keeping with Philadelphia Police officials, Coleman was considered to be armed and dangerous.

According to the statement, Coleman, who stands 6’7″ tall and weighs 235 pounds, was located by officers standing near his car before a residence on Franklin Street. the primary officer on the scene, Sean Gallagher, approached Coleman and engaged him in conversation so as to convey time for other officers to arrive. After a brief time, more officers responded and so attempted to soundly take Coleman into custody.

At that time, in line with police, Gallagher told Coleman that he was being arrested so tried to grab Coleman’s arm. Gallagher reported that Coleman immediately resisted being taken into custody while quickly backing away and reaching for his waistband. Coleman repeatedly told officers that he’s ‘not going back to jail’ and as he tried to flee officers tasered him which caused Coleman to fall to the bottom.

The statement continues:

“Mr. Coleman quickly regained his footing and continued to resist being taken into custody. Bystander video depicts a tiny low part of the encounter. The video shows several officers surrounding Mr. Coleman while attempting to put him into handcuffs. Mr. Coleman may be seen pulling removed from officers and refusing to permit himself to be handcuffed.

“While Mr. Coleman continues to be resisting officers' attempts to put him into handcuffs, Officer Gallagher will be seen striking Mr. Coleman twice within the head. Mr. Coleman was eventually taken into custody and located to be in possession of cocaine. Officers transported Mr. Coleman to the municipal hall and immediately demanded medics to treat Mr. Coleman for a laceration to his head.

The department then gave the canned statement all departments give when their officers are caught on video violating the rights of citizens.

“The Norristown department of local government holds its officers to the very best standards of conduct and can take all appropriate steps to confirm that our standards are upheld. All use of force by our officers is thoroughly investigated. together with bystander video, police body camera footage, witness interviews, and police reports will be reviewed. Officer Gallagher has been placed on administrative duty pending further investigation.”

Despite the very fact that police claimed Coleman “reached for his waistband,” the person was unarmed. What’s more, when the punches were delivered, Coleman’s arms were restrained behind his back, giving no reason for Gallagher to punch the person.

As the video shows, Coleman is surrounded by police, has his hands behind his back, and is posing little or no, if any resistance. However, when Gallagher sneaks around to distributed his street justice, he endangered everyone involved by forcing Coleman to start struggling again to avoid being sucker-punched.

What’s more, as stated above, because Gallagher couldn’t resist sucker-punching a restrained man, the taxpayers of Norristown will now be those paying for it.
