Metro officer resigns after beating man at rail station

A Metro police officer who violently beat a man after he wouldn't leave a light rail station resigned Monday morning.

Officer Jairus Warren, who joined Metro in November, tendered his resignation after an internal investigation determined he should be fired for use of excessive force. The Sept. 14 incident was captured on Metro's surveillance cameras used at all train platforms.

"You will see excessive force being used on the video," said Vera Bumpers, chief of the Metropolitan Transit Authority Police.

Metro has turned its internal investigation over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, Bumpers said. Any criminal charges will be up to them, she said.

Warren and another officer, D. Reynoso, approached Darrell Giles around 7:30 a.m. It was not the officers' only contact with Giles, Bumpers said.

"They had dealt with him a couple of times earlier that morning," she said. "He was combative and was not cooperative on any occasions."

In addition to video of the incident, Metro also released footage of the officers leading Giles away after the baton beating, and video of an earlier encounter when Giles was loitering at the train station.

The video, which contains no audio, shows Warren telling Giles to get on his feet during a brief exchange. Warren already was clutching a collapsible baton as he spoke to Giles, and when he sprang to his feet, Warren began striking him with the baton, inflicting at least 10 strikes.

Reynoso, after a few seconds, intercedes and stops Warren after Giles fell to the concrete of the rail platform.

Bumpers, who said Reynoso brought the incident to supervisors' attention, will receive additional training but not further discipline because he was not involved in the use of force.

The incident will also serve as a reminder for other officers, Bumpers said, but not lead to changes in current training practices.

"This incident is not a reflection of the men and women who work for Metro Police," she said.

He's just one bad apple.. I'm sure the rest of cops would never ever do something like this if they had the chance.. smh...
