FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A homeless man is speaking up after an officer responded violently to his request to use a restroom Sunday.
A witness caught the incident on a cellphone camera. In the footage, the man, Bruce Laclair, is seen walking near a Downtown Fort Lauderdale bus station. An off-duty Fort Lauderdale Police officer, Victor Ramirez, trails Laclair while putting on rubber gloves. "I'm not [expletive] around with you. Don't [expletive] touch me," Ramirez is heard yelling while pointing at Laclair.
Ramirez is also heard telling Laclair he will not use the restroom. "You are not going to go pee. You're not supposed to be here," Ramirez said.
At some point, Ramirez shoves Laclair to the ground where he is seen seated. But then Ramirez grabs Laclair's arm and orders him to get up. The video then shows Ramirez slap Laclair across the face. The sound of the smack is audible and the force of it sends Laclair head-first to the pavement. The officer handcuffs Laclair, and the homeless man is taken to jail.
A judge in court asked Laclair to stay away from the bus terminal where Rodriguez slapped him. After being released from jail Monday, Laclair said he was unsure what happened. He said he had only wanted to use the bathroom. "All I was asking to do was use the restroom. That's all I was trying to do," he said.
But according to Ramirez's police report, Laclair was asked to leave after sleeping at the bus station. "I asked him to wake up and go somewhere else," Ramirez wrote. "I gave Laclair plenty of time to leave."
(Ramirez has since been suspended with pay. ) The Fort Lauderdale Police Department has also opened an investigation into the incident. Captain Frank Sousa tried to distance the department from Ramirez's actions. "If the officer is wrong, I can assure you and the public that this agency and this department is going to do whatever it needs to do to assure that that doesn't happen again, and it's not a reflection of the men and women in this agency," Sousa said.
(Sousa also said that he would not jump to any conclusions until he has all the details from the department's investigation. "We have to be careful, because we're seeing a two-to-five-second clip of what occurred. I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying it's wrong. Let the investigation play out," he said.) Really!
Laclair said he believes most police officers do not treat him or others the way Ramirez did, but he was angered by the incident. "I'm pissed off. Most of the police officers are very reasonable, good people. They just have a job to do. This guy, I don't know what his problem is," he said.

(2)A Broward Sheriff's deputy is under investigation after caught on video dragging an inmate by her ankles.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -
It was a shocking sight at the Broward County Courthouse after a 28-year-old woman who allegedly suffers from mental health issues was dragged by her ankles by a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy down a hallway while screaming for help.

"I gave you a chance," the deputy told Dasyl Rios.

"You gave nobody a chance!" screamed Rios. "All I wanted to do was cry for a few minutes. Cry. That's all I wanted to do was cry for a few minutes because my life is in your hands."

Before she was dragged down the hall, Rios was in court for a status hearing on two misdemeanor charges.

"I've been doing this for 12 years," said Chief assistant public defender Lynn Desanti. "I've never seen anything more degrading. I was shocked. I was speechless. I finally said, 'what are you doing? Stop it,' and he just wasn't listening. He was going to drag her back to jail."

"All I want is my mother -- to know why she can't see me when she comes to visit me," said Rios.

Two doctors told the court that she was incompetent to proceed, meaning she was so mentally fragile she could not go forward with the criminal charges pending against her.

Desanti called it inhumane treatment and said she's seen similar situations handled the right way in the past.

"They could have had another armed male deputy where I've seen them, they pick up the defendants and carry them," said Desanti. "They could have gotten a wheelchair and handcuffed her to the wheelchair and brought her back that way."

Sheriff Scott Israel apparently agrees, releasing a statement stating, "I am concerned by the way the deputy handled this situation, because there were other courses of action he could have taken."

(An internal investigation has begun and that deputy, at this point unidentified, has been placed on desk duty.)

On Monday, a judge ordered that Rios be hospitalized for psychiatric treatment, but at the moment she remains at the Broward County Jail.

Ft Lauderdale!! Whoooooo!!
Won't be going there on vacation, but where can you go? Or live? It used to be the south, the west, the midwest, the older cities up north, cities in general. Now it's everywhere. Military bases and the cities and towns around them have always been exploited by court and law enforcement officials, because we couldn't be fired we had guaranteed disposable income and they trained us to be bigger faster stronger etc... not above the law. After leaving the Army, regardless of wearing my dogtags and presenting my VA I.D. the slice of mutual respect some law enforcement officials gave me personally was gone. After Mike Brown, and all the recent obvious abuse of force by police this doesn't surprise me. That's sad, and knowing there are cameras and cells everywhere means that they just don't care and I doubt the courts will stand up for these people's rights either. What happened to SERVE and PROTECT?

Officers commit crimes each day...only that they not all caught on camera

.. the crime was .. they paid for their donuts..lol..jk

Police sometimes abuse their authority. I can't say with 100% certainty that they did based on a news story about a video that I haven't seen, but this looks bad. Keep in mind, however, that there have been other situations where you see one little tidbit, everyone rushes to judgment, facts come out to prove that what everyone knows happened isn't really what happened. The presumption of innocence until guilt is proven also applies to the police. These situations sound like, and may be, police abuse, but we don't have the whole story. Learn all the facts first. A few seconds of video don't tell the whole story. Video is not infallible. What can you not see?

seems nothing much has changed in Lickerdale!

After reading again, I stand by my previous comment, however in the second situation, the Sheriff apparently has a problem with how his deputy handled the situation. When cases like this come up, in almost every one, the Chief, Sheriff, fellow officers, basically everyone stands behind the accused until evidence comes out, and sometimes even after evidence comes out that it was abuse of authority.

Two of them at my local police station, got caught dealing smack last year and another couple were done with drunk driving ( DUI ) while on duty! Think some of them just think they're untouchable and above the law?
