Cop Sucker Punches Suspect In Back Of Head, Then Charges Him With Assaulting A Police Officer

A former Loudoun County sheriff's deputy is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit after a patrol car camera appeared to show him knocking out an unsuspecting target with a blow to the back of the head delivered at a full sprint.
Sterling, Va., resident Carlos Garcia filed the lawsuit last year in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, but papers were served only recently on the defendant, Terry Daniel, who resigned from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office last year.

Garcia's lawyer, Victor Glasberg, said the video — which has been posted on YouTube — is clear and unambiguous evidence of an unprovoked assault. It shows Garcia standing with his hands in the air next to another deputy and his back turned as Daniel approaches rapidly. Garcia collapses immediately after being struck by the deputy.

2 Chicago cops charged in FBI sting

He appeared to be an easy mark — a homeless ex-con with almost 100 arrests.

So the drug dealers used him to move their cash around from spot to spot. And two Chicago police officers used him, too, authorities said. But instead of working him for information to get to the bad guys, the officers stole drug proceeds from the courier and then paid him for tipping them off to the opportunity, according to federal charges unsealed Monday.

What the two veteran officers, Sgt. Ronald Watts and Officer Kallatt Mohammed, didn't know until their arrests Sunday night was that it was all a sting set up by the FBI.
