He made international headlines when he violated Emily Good’s First Amendment right after he arrested her for video recording him conducting a racially profiled traffic stop of an African-American motorist on May 12, 2011. (See video below).
Apparently, Rochester, NY Police officer Mario Masic, has a thing for getting caught on video.
In a video shot by a Rochester resident, RPD officer Mario Masic is seen allowing a white club bouncer to punch a Black man who is face planted in a snowbank with several bouncers on top of him on the sidewalk, in front Maxwell’s club located at 169 St. Paul St. In downtown Rochester.
On the video, the bouncer, wearing a red jacket, is seen grabbing and kneeing the man, in the January 5, 2013 incident.
Then, as soon as RPD officer Mario Masic arrives on scene and is walking up, another bouncer is seen and heard yelling to the bouncer assaulting the man “Yo Mark, Mark!”, as to alert him that the police had arrived.
The man’s face is seen face down in the snow, and at one point the man is heard yelling what sounds like “I can’t breathe!”
When officer Masic approaches the man, Masic seems to stop long enough for the bouncer to punch the man, allowing him to assault the defenseless man one more time. before moving in.
Masic completely ignores the bouncer’s assault of the man, and instead yells “Back up! Back up!” to a black woman concerned for the man on the ground, being assaulted.
Throughout the video, other Maxwell’s bouncers, in black tops with the word “SECURITY” on the back, can be seen.
At one point, the camera zooms in on the man’s face, and a bouncer is seen lifting his leg up and bringing his knee down on the man’s head, burying his face in the snow bank even more.
According to witnesses, the man who was assaulted had stepped outside of the club to smoke a cigarette and when he went to go back in, Maxwell’s bouncers refused to let him back into the club.
That is when the bouncer in the red jacket assaulted the man by pushing him, a struggle ensued and the man wound up being face planted in the snow bank by Maxwell’s bouncers.
The man was later arrested by Rochester Police on unknown charges.
Regardless what ensued before the video was recorded, Rochester, NY Police officer Mario Masic witnessed a clear assault on a restrained, defenseless man right in front of him, and completely ignored it, and as a result once again violated his sworn oath to serve and protect.
Officer Masic violated the letter of the Rochester Police departments Code of Ethics, specifically where it states “AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all persons to liberty, equality and justice… I WILL never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.”
Frankly, I’m not surprised at officer Masic’s behavior.
I expect nothing less from a dirty cop who violated the Constitution of the United States of America by arresting a woman for video recording him from her own property.
And I expect nothing less from Rochester, NY Police Chief James Sheppard, who supported officer Masic.

This cop needs to be reported to the FBI for a Color of Law violation. This cop needs to be fired, and that black man should sue everybody. That cop is a RACIST, and he allowed a RACIST attack happen. I’m surprised that cop didn’t hang him with a rope !
so where’s the video?
Hmm….See it on video, but no video. Already looks like we are going down another Davy. V. snake hole to nowhere.
Another swing and a miss. Having seen the video (on Davy’s site), again, much ado about nothing. A bar fight between security and a drunk, and you blame the cop for security’s sucker punch?
Classic Davy.
What’s that? I hear a siren, go chase your next next month’s rent Davy…
Did the PIG do anything about the sucker punch is the question????
@T how many times have you seen no video for a day or so then it gets added? Some LEO you are…
Mario is the classic “85″. Look at the dull eyes and stupid grin. That is a waste of protoplasm that screams out to be converted into solylent blue.
THE VIDEO WAS PRETTY SHITTY. DIDNT REALLY SEE TO MUCH POLICE ABUSE JUST A DRUNK WHO WAS GETTING HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM BY BOUNCERS. GRANTED COP SEEMED LIKE HE DIDNT HAVE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COPS AT THE SCENE.
I usually am right there with the rest of you against the LEO’s but this is different. How is this a racist attack? I don’t get it. It just seems to be a clear case of deriliction(sp) of duty for not getting in there quicker. The punch by the bouncer was probably earned, his face was pretty fucked up. Other than than, just a shitty cop, nothing more.
What punch? You mean the guy who hit the dudes foot the was kicking him???
My first comment was right on point. More Davy V. scam.
Depending on local law, the cop may not be able to do much. As has been said before, security can do things cops can’t. On property, security has all the power of the owner. Now off property they have nothing.
Seriously, he should have rolled up in the Bearcat and started pepper-spraying everybody.
Looks like a good old fashion “roughing a guy up.” Bouncers have to keep things cool inside but have no authority (except self defense) on a public sidewalk/snowbank. But this Masic guy is an obvious thug regarding the Emily Good arrest. I wonder what her relationship is to the Salem Witch Trials. Google “Sarah Good -Salem Witch Trials” t and CS. Seems appropriate though…doesn’t it.
Wise guy: Untrue about the bouncers authority (or at least not totally accurate). They, as you,
have the authority to use reasonable force to detain someone that has committed a crime in your presence. Unfortunately the source of the infor action here, Davy V., is notoriously inaccurate and incomplete, so we have to look at what is available from the video.
Seeing how these are “bouncers”, that generally would lead me to this business being either a bar or nightclub. Knowing what usually transpires in such establishments, and what bouncers at such places are there to do…I’d say its probably OK to assume that this cat was drunk and unruly inside the business. So they take him outside (its a private business) wherehis behavior apparently ccontinued. Now this police are called at whatever point and arrive as they are lawfully detaining this guy.
Now this all has to be surmised from a very short video. Unfortunately, the source has woefully poor reporting skills. We know not of any charges. We know not of witness statements. All we really have is another inaccurate report from an inaccurate source.
The “bouncer in the red jacket” has clearly already been assaulted as evidenced when he steps back and you can see injury on his face. The “suspect” party is clearly seen as continuing his assaultive behavior, kicking out as they attempt to restrain him.
As said, more scam from Davy V.
And what is so sad is how easily lead so many “enlightened activist types” are. Look at. the very first comment. “color of law” violation, “racist attack”. Watch the video. Several black bouncers / security involved. “Color of law” violation. That is someone who heard a term thrown out somewhere and has no idea about its meaning. Lead.
Again, another boring video from CopBlock! We have no clue as to why this happened and the facts are non-existent with this video! The guy may have assaulted another person? Who knows and the video demonstrates nothing but bad luck for the guy thrown out!
The reason that guy was getting treated the way he was was because he was trying too sneak into the club and security told him he had too enter thru the front door. What does the guy do he trys too barge thru the door drops his phone the secutity tells him no and picks up his phone for him and goes too hand it back too him but this clown SUCKER PUNCHES SECURITY AND THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE HAPPEN. HOW COME THE GUY SUCKER PUNCHING HIM ISNT SHOWN?
