Seattle's Office of Police Accountability, a watchdog agency, said it is investigating the officers involved.

Two Seattle police officers are under investigation after a bystander recorded them beating a man with their batons at a bus stop last week.

In the video, which was posted online and first reported by NBC affiliate KING 5-TV, two officers can be seen hitting a man with their batons last Friday afternoon. In the 40-second clip, one of the officers appears to grab the man’s hair before he uses a knee to pin him down.

The video does not show what occurred before the officers started beating the man.

    Or when a cop punched a 16-year-old girl in the face for yelling at him.

    Or when they beat up an old man for getting on a bus with a golf club he was using as a walking stick.

    Or when they beat up a guy while yelling “I’m gonna beat the Mexican piss out of you”

    Or when they shoot a native dude in the back from 20 feet away because he had a small knife.
