A former New Jersey police officer who admitted dealing drugs was caught on camera brutally assaulting a suicidal man -- twice.

A Federal judge sentenced ex-Paterson officer Ruben McAusland to nearly six years in jail for both crimes. He also must pay $32,892 in restitution.

The U.S. Attorney's office released the video this week of 27-year-old McAusland, on duty and in uniform, assaulting a patient at St. Joseph's Regional Hospital in March 2018.

What is unusual here is not the fact that a cop committed this violence, but rather that there was some semblence of justice handed out. All too often, cops get away with these sort of crimes.
