A Houston-area metro officer resigned Monday after a video released showed him beating a man who refused to leave a light rail station earlier this month.
Officer Jairus Warren, of the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, resigned after two internal investigations deemed he had used excessive force in the Sept. 14 incident, when he confronted a man asleep on a bench at the station.
“This incident is not reflective of our police force and I will not tolerate inappropriate use of force by officers,” Vera Bumpers, chief of the Metro Transit Authority Police, the said in a statement.
Warren, who had been on the force since November, and officer Daniel Reynoso approached Darren Giles, who was slumped on a bench, at around 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 14 and urged him to leave. The officers had confronted Giles several times that morning and Giles had not been cooperative, authority spokeswoman Laura Whitley said.
In the video released Monday, Warren is seen accosting Giles and, when Giles stands suddenly, Warren strikes him several times with a baton. Giles falls to the ground and Warren strikes him several more times before Reynoso handcuffs him.
After the incident, a supervisor noticed the video and launched an investigation into the incident, Whitley said. That investigation concluded Warren had used excessive force. A review board then sustained that conclusion, she said.
The case has been handed over to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, who will determine if criminal charges will be brought against Warren.
Warren resigned after the review board recommended termination of his employment, Whitley said. Reynoso was cleared of any wrongdoing and rejoined the metro police force, she said.

Smh at how quick they are to launch an investigation and terminate black officers. ? reminds of the nyc pig that murdered Eric Garner. No charges for him but they opened an investigation on the black sergent who didn't choke anyone. Black overseers are the worse. Scust

Hope they prosecute this black ? turned black goon. -
@skpjr78 .....I feel u bro. He should have known better tho. This is a prime example of : The Illusion of Inclusion. Thinking just cuz u with or work with them white folks, u can play by their rules. Other ethnicities come over here gonna learn to. Sometimes ya $ ain't even good enough 2 them. White folks don't even like some other white folks from abroad. Deep Psyche ? game. His goose is cooked tho.
