San Rafael police officers on leave after bloody takedown of man with beer can

A northern California police department has announced an investigation into two officers for brutally beating a gardener who was drinking a beer.

In body camera footage from the 27 July encounter, San Rafael Police Department (SRPD) officers were seen arguing with a man who was drinking from an open can of beer on Windward Way, not far from a nearby community garden, in San Rafael, ABC7 reported last Friday.
