A former California sergeant is facing multiple charges for excessive use of force during a DUI traffic stop in March. Authorities said Dustin Witt repeatedly stomped and kicked Louis Jackson after he stopped being combative with deputies. Witt resigned from the Merced County Sheriff’s Office in June during the internal investigation which resulted in multiple charges of assault. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie has the details.

This network is trash saying that jackson lunged at the cop when everyone watching your video is like where is this lunge? Just trash reporting.
Totally warranted, picked me jury nullification! Pos drunks
What did the cop do to his girlfriend that he got mad?
Yeah cause you are so versed in how people react when being detained or arrested right?
He 100% swung at him, but he didn’t lung at him? He swung on him, they started to argue & then he snapped started to swing again when the officer grabbed his arm, but the anchor made it seem like he just randomly lunged at him in an argument? The guy obviously was in the wrong, he’s lucky he didn’t die, I was just expecting to see a different set of events happen lol
The George Floyd affect!!
I feel bad for the Police
The clock is ticking for all law enforcement and when Nature pops their clock there will be nowhere on earth for them hide
The guy was making noises then come out of it .smh ..
That cop better go to jail ..
This cop is a bomb ready to explode anytime. He will kill someone one day. I am sure of that.
Despachen a ese corrupto policía al necrópolis lo más pronto posible.
He needs to get five years in prison plus some needs to stomp his head.
No humans were harmed during the making of this video, just another savage animal.
Looks justified to me. Him crying like B was the best part.
I'm usually the first to defend a cop but not here. Dude was way out of line.
Dustin Witt is clearly a coward
Another didin do nuffin causing some type of problem
Give that man a medal
I've only ever heard someone breathe that way, with that noise, due an airway restriction after a brutal fight or attack, and the officer had the audacity to say: "stop playin' like that" while trying to have him roll over afterwards to which he was unresponsive. I have no idea what his injuries are, but I could speculate there's a chance of concussion and possibly some brain damage. If that cop hadn't have been stopped by the other cop, things probably would have ended much worse for this guy. This was truly excessive and unnecessary, and could probably be argued as a personal and/or emotional violent attack.
I feel that, at the least, officers should undergo a preliminary psychological evaluation as a prerequisite to joining, and then regular psych evals throughout their career (perhaps every 3-6 months). I feel that a lot of cops join because they truly want to help people by serving and protecting their community, but there are some who just want the power and an excuse to wield it, others may break under the pressures of the job, and then there are possibly others who may be enticed by the power they wield. We need to find ways by which to weed out the emotionally and mentally unstable cops, as well as those who seek – either initially or eventually – to take advantage of their position.
Merced PD Sucks
This cop, Whit, had been in trouble & demoted back in 2019 already. He was known for using excessive force so i don't know why he hadn't already been let go.
That snoring was starting to scare me! I’d like to see his hospital records. He’s got to have some brain damage
