A raid on a marijuana dispensary in Long Beach was caught on video showing officers smashing surveillance cameras and stepping on a suspect, moves that prompted accusations against the officers of excessive force.
More than a dozen police raided THC Downtown Collective in the 300 block of Atlantic Boulevard (map) on June 19, officials said. The video was posted to YouTube by user "Long Beach Raids" on July 1. Officials said they learned about the video on July 3.
The two-minute-long video opens to show a man surrendering to police, three of whom surround him while two put him in handcuffs.
One of the officers is seen stepping on volunteer employee Dorian Brooks' back with both feet before stepping on his neck, with what Brooks described as 300 pounds of pressure.
The video, which was being recorded at an off-site location, then cuts to an officer pointing at the recording camera before another looks up and smashes the lens.
"They noticed there was a camera that was on the wall right above my head, so they proceeded to smash it with a metal rod," said Brooks, adding that the camera shattered on him. "I wasn't able to protect myeslf because my hands were cuffed."
"I felt violated; I felt disrespected," Brooks said.
The video cuts again and reopens on a man donning a tshirt and backwards baseball cap with what appears to be a badge hanging from his neck. This man, apparently behind the dispensary’s counter, also smashes the recording camera.
Footage from after the raid shows a disheveled room, with portions of the ceiling removed and scattered on the floor, strew with boxes, electrical cables and other objects.
Dispensary employees claim the raid caused tens of thousands of damage, and police took the collective's ATM and cannabis.
"A thorough review into what occurred during that operation will be conducted once all of the facts have been collected. This is a personnel matter and we are unable to discuss any further details," Lisa Massacani, with LB police, wrote in a statement.
Police said the dispensary was operating under state compliance, but did not have a city permit.
Five people were arrested in the raid, according to Long Beach police:
•Dallas Alexander, 31, of Long Beach, was arrested on suspicion of operating an unpermitted marijuana dispensary, serving as a looking for illegal activity and on an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction;
•Fernando Garcia, 50, and Mario Sanchez, 31, both of Los Angeles, and Landon Alexander, 22 of Long Beach were arrested on suspicion of operating an unpermitted marijuana dispensary and obstruction;
•Dorian Brooks, 28, of Long Beach, was arrested on suspicion of operating an unpermitted marijuana dispensary.

Evil mother fuckers. Glad they will rot in hell. Sick twisted humans on a power trip simply out to find a witch to burn 
Hope they get sued and officers get fucked over in court, but sadly it wont happen

CA I feel so conflicted man. I'm right there with you on feeling the hurt from this.
And many times I've reveled at the thought that those who oppress us will burn in hell.
But really man, truthfully I believe we'll get further faster by being gentle and understanding, even as they walk on our backs and necks and place 300 lbs of force on our necks while attempting to destroy the evidence of their wrongdoing.
Things are gonna turn out okay. We can't let this shit corrupt us though in the meantime.

Isn't it great that our police break recording cameras when they see them. I mean what are they hiideing, and is it not a crime to break property upon a search? (I guess not.)

There are laws trying to be pushed that would make it a fucking FELONY to record police activity  You want the the sum explanation of whats wrong with this world and its power figures.....theres your answer right there.
I have experienced the twisted savege aspects of human behavior from those on a power high. Fucking cop tazed me 3 times....... in fucking handcuffs. Not to mention mother fucker was like 3 times my size  Sorry but no respect for these fuckers. Its an act of god that Im a sane human with my sanity in tact I have a bald spot on my head from where my skull slammed into the ground by being tazed......it doesnt even grow hair on it 
Theres a very special place in hell for these sick fucks I assure you  An eternity of empty loneliness that will be unquenched till the end of time. Trying desperately to locate a soul to explain, talk, and console them with the only action available of violence towards them, and those they encounter.
Thats fucking prophecy right there son

I never even noticed he used a forceful wristlock (look at the angle on the guy's wrist) on a completely non-violent offender who was being completely compliant.
That guy sucks.

Also stop fomenting division Nullface. Things will happen when it's time. It's important to take action in large groups and not individually to avoid being picked off and making the movement weaker.
Strike when the iron is hot.
Things are still heating up.

What losers those cops are. While this man was being stepped on for standing in a medical cannabis dispensory, someone was probably murdered down the street. But hey, everyone knows that stopping cancer patients from living a normal life is more important than anything. The corruption of justice these days...

It's a sad day when you can't tell the difference between the Cops and a bunch of Mob thugs shaking down competitors on their turf.
