Police beat 12 year old in custody in front of witnesses.

[Savannahmann]

Then they arrest the witness's who complain about the cops beating the 12 year old boy.

Footage has emerged of a plain-clothed NYPD officer apparently punching a boy repeatedly as he was being handcuffed by four other police on Monday.

The young African-American, who witnesses claim to be 12 years old, was arrested in Manhattan's Lower East Side at around 4pm with two others on suspicion of assaulting somebody with a cane.

He was leaning on a cop car surrounded by police when a man ran at full-speed towards them and dealt four blows into the boy's side.

The incident is now being investigated the the police department's internal affairs bureau.

Again, the youth was being handcuffed by four adult police officers when the plainclothes officer had to jump in and throw a beating on the black kid.

Here's the video. Warning it is loud, and not so much safe for work. Not really bad, but I wouldn't watch it there.

Now what kind of a mouth breathing idiot would do something like that with all the bad press the cops have been getting regarding excessive force? What I think we'll see in the near future is the crowds chasing the cops when the do something like that.

Something like that is almost certain to happen here in the United States in the not to distant future IMO.

1. I'm guessing those security guards didn't have guns n/t

[Fred Sanders]

2. Police brutality videos from around the world are not necessary to make the point. Which is what?

There are some rotten apples in the British police force also?

Conceded.

[tkmorris]

4. The incident in the article took place in NYC

Further, the purpose of the second video was to illustrate the point made by the OP after the article, which is that eventually the public may realize the system will not protect them from police brutality and they will need to take matters into their own hands.

Ya gotta read the posts Fred.

[Fred Sanders]

5. What does " taking matters into their own hands" mean? That is my point, there is no point other

than to inflame emotions.
"Something like this is bound to happen here....", is about as speculative as it gets.

[rhett o rick]

17. And we certainly don't want to "inflame emotions" do we. Sounds like you want us to

ignore the police brutality and just keep our heads done and accept it. Well Fred, as hard as you try, you can't pretend away the unrest. Those that are trying to protect their precious status quo are going to be in for a big surprise. You can't hold down the people forever Fred.

I get the impression that you don't like it when people talk back to authority.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Here we go with the exaggeration again, is building strawmen your one trick act?

[rhett o rick]

21. It's easy to set me straight. I said, "I get the impression that you don't like it when people

talk back to authority." Am I wrong. That seems to be your point.

You were giving the OP a bad time for posting a vid, "Police brutality videos from around the world are not necessary to make the point." It's as if you want people to stop posting vids of police brutality. I am not sure why.

[Fred Sanders]

22. And then you remove your strawman by editing your post and creating a less silly one?

Why are you wasting your time like this?

So now a bad strawman builder is also an and out and out desperste "stranger from the truth", real precious.

LOL, this is fun.

[rhett o rick]

23. Why won't you clarify your point. You were critical of the OP and I was looking for

clarification. All you seem to be able to do is whine about a strawman that doesn't exist.

[avebury]

27. If people do not stand up and make it clear

that police brutality it not acceptable and that offenders need to be held accountable for their actions, who do you think will be there for you when it becomes your turn to be brutalized by these thugs? And make no mistake about it, most cops either thugs or too intimidated to take a stand against them in order to do their job to protect and serve the public.

[dilby]

6. The video is from New York, it points out there is a serious problem in New York. n/t

[Savannahmann]

11. Hey Fred we found a good cop for you.

Ok, it was as near as I can tell the only good cop in the nation at this time, but here you go.

The response of the Department was to beat her and then fire her.

Thou Shall Not cross the Thin Blue Li(n)e.

So when someone asks you to name one good cop, there you go.

[rhett o rick]

18. I think he thinks all cops are good. They are just keeping the rift-raft under control. nm

[DisgustipatedinCA]

13. If you don't want to talk about police brutality, go somewhere else.

We discuss it here, and we do it without your leave.

[mnhtnbb]

3. I wouldn't try attacking cops in the US--they'd probably draw their guns and start shooting.

[TheKentuckian]

7. Use range.

[Savannahmann]

12. The crowd was larger than all the ammo the cops could hope to stagger with.

If the cops had started shooting, they would have been torn limb from limb by that crowd.

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. "Something like that is almost certain to happen here in the United States

and then said this happened in New York City.

?????

[niyad]

9. if I understand the article correctly, it required FOUR men to handcuff this 12 y/o?? really? how

friggen' incompetent or out of shape are they? too many doughnuts?

and they did nothing to stop the other man from assaulting this boy? the police are NOT our friends.

[Savannahmann]

10. Yeah, I've been in that world for a number of years now.

The disappointing world where the cops are not our friends, and worse, untrustworthy.

[Fred Sanders]

14. Are you talking about the criminal world or the police world you were in for a number of years?

[Savannahmann]

15. The world where I realized that the police are corrupt.

The last person I trust is a cop. Because I've seen them lie and harass people. A friend of mine restored a 1980's Mercedes. He would drive it to work now and then, and he was pulled over about half the time. He had that car shining like a new penny, but for some reason the police were pulling over random black men in Mercedes that day. It wasn't profiling, it was just a random thing.

The police are corrupt and untrustworthy. Interacting with the cops is like playing russian roulette. You might get lucky and live through it. But eventually you're going to lose.

[Trillo]

16. These things have been going on forever.

They get play now only because of the proliferation of video cameras.

"what kind of a mouth breathing idiot would do something like that"?

The kind that is not held responsible for their actions.

[RebelOne]

20. One officer here in Georgia was found guilty of excessive force.

“My sentence is going to be 10 years, to serve 5 years in custody,” said the judge.

[Savannahmann]

25. Astonishing.

Glad to see it. You should make it an OP.

[ncjustice80]

28. Only 5 years? Better than none I suppose.

I hope he gets put in general population and someone lets it slip he was a cop. All the men wrongly put in jail by his cronies Im sure will have some "corrective" action for the pig.

[davidpdx]

24. And the grand jury will say.........

no charges. The police are already muddying the water with their characterization of the victim. It is awful.

[Feral Child]

26. K&R

I wasn't going to comment, then I re-watched the video.

The "suspect" was clearly under control.

The white guy in plainclothes had absolutely no justification for what he did. He just wanted to hurt that kid. I'm going to shout that out:

HE WANTED TO HURT THAT KID!

He enjoyed giving pain. Maybe the boy was guilty of an assault, I don't know, but we have courts to administer justice and punish offenders.

The cop that punched that helpless, restrained boy is a fucking sadist. He'll keep his job. He'll keep his prestigious plain-clothes assignment. Nothing will be done to this sadistic, psychotic monster, unless the NYPD is embarrassed enough by the video to give him a paid vacation followed by a transfer to another precinct.

He may be on-duty this very moment, searching for another victim.
