The officer tasered the clerk before beating him with a baton 16 times. His attorney said the cop broke bones in both of his legs.
Body camera and cell phone footage show two angles of an officer from the San Bernardino Police Department beating a gas station clerk with a baton 16 times.The repeated strikes broke bones in both of Billy Hill's, according to his attorney.'We have to expect better,' attorney Dale Galipo said. 'This is not a guy who had a weapon or was trying to hurt someone, threatened or attacked someone. The guy worked there.
'The use of the taser proved to be ineffective,' Sergeant Chris Gray said in the department's YouTube video breaking down the incident. 'He then made the choice to continue to resist arrest, which furthered the escalation of force to the point officers utilize the baton.'The officer then pulls out the baton and begins to strike Hill's legs while the two other officers hold him. 'There's resisting and there's resisting,' Galipo said.
