An East Cleveland police officer has been placed on administrative leave after a video shared on social media showed him kicking down a suspect who was already on the ground. A police report confirms the officer was called to Best Steak N Gyros House on Euclid Avenue just before 4 a.m. Monday morning for a report of a man "behaving aggressively." The report goes on to say the suspect was "detained," but footage originally shared on one of the Instagram accounts for the Cleveland Remembrance Page shows more to the story. In the video, the man is on the ground on one knee while the officer points his taser at him, yelling at him to get "face-down, on your stomach." Just as the man puts his hands behind his back, the officer comes up from behind and kicks him in the back, bringing him fully to the floor. East Cleveland later released body cam footage of the entire incident, which did not explicitly show the kick due to the angle of the lens but has audio that exactly matches the C.O.R.P. video. Prior to the kick itself, the officer can be seen telling the man to get on the ground multiple times while the man makes unknown comments, and afterward, he is handcuffed before being driven to the police station. The suspect was taken to University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center for a psychiatric evaluation, but has not yet been identified. Police Chief Scott Gardner says the man has not filed a formal complaint alleging excessive force, but the department chose to look into the incident after the initial video was made public. "I promised the community transparency with this department," Gardner added. "Therefore, I have initiated an Administrative Investigation to be completed." The officer has also not been named at this time. He was placed on leave per protocol established by the department's collective agreement with the police union.

«How else could the cop keep his gun pointing at the suspect while at the same time making the suspect comply? I see no wrong here.»

«â€ž@Redline87: Rambo thatâ€™s funny Iâ€™ve watched all the movies and me or you couldnâ€™t compare to Rambo. But I will say this Iâ€™m a independent American I live for the values of American life who are you?â€So fuck the cops because being an "independent American" and "living for the values of American life" is going to save you in any situation without the help of any cops? So now you're Rambo and Jason Bourne all rolled into one. Maybe you should try laying off the movies and come on back down to reality.»

«â€ž@Redline87:What the fuck would I need cops for? To give me a ticket to pull me over and harass me? Tell me what do they do to protect and serve? Most calls are civil disputes which they donâ€™t have a fucking thing to do with. At the end of the day the only person you need is yourself â€Sure, good luck with that Rambo.»
