Community members are demanding justice after a video surfaced showing Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies punching an amputee, Alejandro Hernandez, during a violent arrest in East Los Angeles. Hernandez's family claims he was harassed while washing his truck, but the sheriff's department says deputies recognized him as an active gang member and felt a firearm in his waistband. The video shows two deputies restraining Hernandez on the ground, with one repeatedly punching him in the face while the other holds him in a chokehold. Hernandez's family and community members are calling for an end to police brutality and excessive force, alleging a pattern of violent encounters with L.A. County deputies.
