The Metro Police released surveillance video showing a violent takedown by an officer on a train platform earlier this month, as the police chief announced the officer’s resignation. Officer Jairus Warren resigned Monday morning and Chief Vera Bumpers said an internal review board validated the excessive force allegations against him and recommended his termination. The investigation has now been handed over to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
The video, which has no sound, shows Officers J. Warren and D. Reynoso approach Darrell Giles, who is slumped over on a bench on the platform. After a brief encounter, Warren draws his baton and repeatedly strikes Giles. Giles then falls onto a bench and eventually onto the ground, writhing in pain. Warren continues to hit Giles, even after he falls to the ground. The beating lasted about 19 seconds.
Officer Reynoso appears to intervene toward the end of the confrontation. He has been cleared of wrongdoing and returned to service, although he will be required to undergo additional training, Bumpers said. Giles was checked by medics at the scene of his arrest, but was then taken in for processing, at which point he began to complain of pain in his arms and received further medical attention. The charges against him were later dropped.
“I thought he pulled a gun out,” Giles told Eyewitness News on September 17, a few days after the altercation. “He hit me so hard, he knocked me to the ground, so the first couple licks, he’s just standing over me going bom, bom, bom making some noise.” “I don’t remember too much. All I remember is bracing myself and just taking the licks and I was holding my arm up,” Giles added.
Chief Bumpers also released video of a previous encounter officers had with Giles on the platform that same day. “They had dealt with him a couple of times earlier that morning asking him to leave the platform and he was combative,” she said. Train operators had also asked him to leave, Bumpers explained.
Their stories appear to differ, because Giles said, “When he told me to leave, I left.” The video shows him appearing to be combative as he walked off. He told Eyewitness News he circled back to the platform to get his cell phone, which he had left behind, and that’s when he encountered Officer Warren again. Officer Warren then drew his weapon and hit him as he was standing up, Giles said.

hoping those cops died of covid
Lol
Shouldn't had stepped up to a cop but who cares..its black on black. Nothing to see here. Can't cry racism.
Lol
These are just the kind of people you don't want to meet, He's a bully asshole and when he finds someone to wake him up he starts crying, POOR.
Yo there’s cops chillin on trains now..
Where is Lieutenant Lebron and BLM? Oh that's right. They don't care if black people die or get the hell beaten out of them, so long as it is a black guy administering the punishments. This must be just one of those rare good jobs in policing.
La droga lo tiene loco . No trabaja ni trabajara jamás. Solo chupando droga.
Excessive force, unjustified amounts of strikes from the baton.
😂😂😂😂👌👌ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
That was satisfying to watch
Black cops beats up black guy. Time to protest…
The Black Police Officer ist a Racist 🤣
he forgot how to walk?
It wasn't heavily reported on the Mainstream News Media because it didn't fit their agenda. The Cop must have been white, then they'd air it.
5:39
Great job beating this man his rights before arresting him Officers. Another threat taken off the street. I feel safer knowing a chubby tired man sleeping on a subway bench can get the shit senselessly beat out of him just because you didn't want him there.
Kick his ass out of there. Tazer Tazer
Officer probably had rougher beatings than that when he was younger
"I thought he pulled out a gun"
Ah yes that explains why you beat him repeatedly after it's pretty clear that he was unarmed. Also I don't think telescoping baton is protocol for a gun. I wonder what he said to piss him off so much.
f the police
man is jus sleeping
He truly deserve it
Racist black cop from don't be a menace😂
Dude that was sleeping on the bench came at the Black Officer, and tried to make him flinch. Officer probably didn't like that, and felt disrespected not to mention he was already angry at the dude to begin with. But still, you don't beat a man to the floor for that. He's clearly struggling. What the heck… 😑
Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up,
It’s The First of The Month! 🎶
It was obvious that there was a confrontation between suspect and cop with the baton. I'm assume it went something like this. Bro don't touch me. Touch me again and I'll f you up. Cop then kicks guy dude stands up cop begins to wail. I don't care where a person sleeps it never makes it ok to beat them especially after entaginising
What is the problem? Only sleep.
It's a bad day. Don't nesessary !
so we know the media dont care about black on black.. just saying
F THESE RACIST COPS… OH WAIT
CNN: Raci- oh nvm
Did he get fired for this?
This is how my friends in PG wakes me up daily.
Officer Tatum laying the smackdown
That seemed unnecessary
Imagine a white cop would've done that…
Technically this is assault
0:00–4:56 night time cops kick him out ,5:42 daytime (beating begins)he's back sleeping, cop="WHO'S YOUR DADY BOY"
Idiot sure wakes up quick when he feels like trying to intimidate the cops. Anyone who watches a big black dude spring up and toward a cop aggressively and don't think he should be put to the ground with whatever means necessary is willfully ignorant. You don't decide the law on a whim, and no cop should have to endure aggressive behaviour toward them.
