A U.S. Marshal, and soon-to-be out of work criminal, physically attacked a woman who was video recording the South Gate Police, and smashed the woman’s phone after physically wrestling the phone out of her hands.
The legal definition of a “Robbery” is as follows.
“Robbery – The taking of money or goods in the possession of another, from his or her person or immediate presence, by force or intimidation.”
This means that the U.S Marshal actually robbed the woman, and should be charged with the crime of robbery, and forced to pay for his crimes, and for his stupidity as well.
What was this criminal thug U.S. Marshal thinking? What was this criminal U.S. Marshal trying to coverup by attacking the woman, stealing her phone, and then smashing it on the concrete sidewalk, and then kicking it across the street?
The U.S. Marshals Service has positively identified the man in the video as a U.S. marshal, but have not released his name. As soon as they do, we will bring it to you.
It doesn’t matter to me what the circumstances are surrounding the video. There is no justification for the Marshal attacking the woman and destroying her property. Period.
This so-called “U.S. Marshal” has no business wearing a badge though, and should be charged with battery, theft, and destruction of property, at the very least, and should lose his job as a U.S. Marshal.
We always stand behind the good members of law enforcement, but we will always call out the criminals with badges when we see them, and this U.S. Marshal seems to be one of the bad guys who don’t deserve to wear a badge, or be in a position of power.

A troubling video of law enforcement aggression in California has triggered a federal investigation.
The U.S. Marshals Service and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are investigating a video that appears to show a U.S. Marshal in South Gate, Calif. charge a woman and take what seems to be a cellphone or small camera from her before slamming it on the ground, NBC4 reports.
The Marshals were reportedly investigating a local biker gang meeting with other agencies when the incident occurred. South Gate Police Chief Randy Davis confirmed to NBC4 that the officer involved is with the U.S. Marshals, though the Marshals say they are still investigating that point. Davis also said none of his officers were involved in the incident.
The video shows a woman in a white shirt and dark pants recording law enforcement stopped on the side of the road. She is then approached by what appears to be a law enforcement officer who snatches the device from her, throws it on the ground and kicks it.
“I sense people’s frustration. I’m looking at that. … I don’t know how you’d get away with that,” South Gate Police Captain Darren Arakawa told the LA Times. “Honestly, I can’t account for the guy’s actions. This is not going away.”
