Two Seattle police officers are under investigation after a bystander recorded them beating a man with their batons at a bus stop last week.

In the video, which was posted online and first reported by NBC affiliate KING 5-TV, two officers can be seen hitting a man with their batons last Friday afternoon. In the 40-second clip, one of the officers appears to grab the man’s hair before he uses a knee to pin him down.

The video does not show what occurred before the officers started beating the man.

    All citizens should be encouraged to watch the vid so we can rejoice at how safe and well-protected we are.

    I’m overjoyed and sure feel much better.

      I’m from Seattle. I don’t even need to watch it to know the police here are murderous thugs.
