Video of testimony of mentally ill man LAPD kicked in the head (Dorner hearing)

I just came across this video and think it may interest a few people. If it doesn't interest you, just trash the thread because this has nothing to do with defending Dorner, supporting him or admiring him. And shame on anyone who tries to twist things that way.

Dorner wrote in his manifesto about the female cop who kicked a mentally ill man (Christopher Gettler) in the face. I'll remove the cop's name and replace it with Officer A just to be safe.

Officer A, you are a POS and you lied right to the BOR panel when Randy Quan asked you if you kicked Christopher Gettler. You destroyed my life and name because of your actions. Time is up. The time is now to confess to Chief Beck.

I ask that all journalist investigating this story submit request for FOIA with the LAPD to gain access to the BOR transcripts which occurred from 10/08 to 2/09. There, you will see that a video was played for the BOR members of Mr. Christopher Gettler who suffers from Schizophrenia and Dementia stating that he was kicked by a female officer. That video evidence supports my claim that Evans kicked him twice in the upper body and once in the face.

Chris Dorner's manifesto gave a specific call to action to all who read it -- investigate his claims he was unfairly terminated by the LAPD. (Chris Dorner made a report that Sgt Evans kicked a suspect during an arrest. The Board of Review deemed that a false report against an officer and Dorner was terminated).

The official LAPD Board of Review painted the termination case as the training officer's word (Sgt Evans) against Officer Dorner. They suggested it was a "he said, she said." There were civilian witnesses including the victim of the alleged kick--Christopher Gettler and his father who were called to testify. Both recount, Gettler saying he was kicked. While court documents suggest that, Gettler was too inarticulate and un-credible this video allows you to judge for yourself.

The person at the center of the brutality investigation Christopher Gettler. This video exclusively obtained through my sources shows Gettler's testimony for the Board of Review. This is Gettler's - the one Dorner says was kicked in the head -- perspective on the incident.

Questioning Gettler is Randy Quan. Quan is the appointed advocate and lawyer for Dorner. He is also the father of murder victim (daughters name) killed Sunday night in Irvine with her fiancé. Dorner is suspected in both their murders.

This is either the video or part of a longer video he's talking about. Christopher Gettler does clearly say he was kicked in the face by that female officer.

Secondary issue, how the system treats those with issues, and always (almost) disqualifies them as reliable witnesses.
