A county in California has decided to settle with a man who was trying to get away from police on a horse. Just from the incident, it will cause that county over a half a million dollars. The man with the name of Francis Pusok, had a warrant of identify theft, but when police came to find him, he got on his horse and tried to get away. When he was finally caught by the deputies, they decided to beat the man even after they captured him. The incident didn't just cause injuries to the man, but also the horse. The deputies did much more to the man than just taser him. The helicopter that was following the incident caught on camera them kicking the man 17 times, punching him dozens of times, and hitting him with a baton as well. They called the situation disturbing and they're still going to look further into all of it.
