In 2009, Colorado police officer Mark Magness broke an innocent man’s arm during an illegal fireworks investigation. Magness pled guilty, but the police department didn’t fire him.
Newly released video shows officer Magness horrifically torturing a handcuffed man who was also tied to a chair in December 2014. Now that the video is going viral, the department might be wondering if they made the wrong decision to keep Magness on the force.
The man, who is now fairly agitated after being assaulted while in handcuffs is thrown into the cell. He then makes a mistake and raises his open hand toward Magness.
At this point, Magness jumps on the man and begins pummeled him. Magness, knowing that his body camera is recording this abuse, continues to yell out, “Stop Resisting!” throughout the abuse in an attempt to justify his torturous ways.
But it gets worse.
Magness was fired by the Federal Heights police department, and pled guilty to assault on June 17. His punishment? He received one year probation.
