RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Newly released law enforcement video shows officers tackling and punching a man in an altercation that led to assault charges against two North Carolina state troopers and a sheriff's deputy.

Dashboard camera video from one of the first troopers to arrive shows Kyron Hinton standing alone on April 3, moaning and gesturing on a Raleigh street. Officers from multiple agencies then surround him.

Eventually a canine handler approaches, and the dog lunges and gets a mouthful of Hinton's clothing. The canine handler then tackles Hinton. While Hinton is on the ground, at least one officer can be seen punching him.

NC Cops Brutally Beat Homeless Unarmed Man For Crossing Street; Suffers Broken Eye Socket and Bitten 20+ Times By Police Dog (Video)

This is a story about the dangers of crossing the street while black.

Kyron Dwain Hinton, a Raleigh native, was brutally beaten by law enforcement after being stopped while crossing the street. Officers claim Hinton resisted arrest and refused to obey commands to get on the ground. In their minds, I suppose this gave them full autonomy to inflict extreme measures of bodily harm.

Hinton’s injuries include a fractured eye socket, a broken nose, and bite marks after suffering over 20 bites from a K9 animal. Destructive in totality and beyond any acceptable form of necessary action. At the moment an investigation into the incident is being held by the state.

Could it be their sudden burst of extreme energy could be their fear, and adrenaline because they are terrified they just might be going to be killed?

"The cops have every right under the law to use a degree of force greater than that of a suspect to overcome
his resistance. If that means you punch him in the face a bunch of times, so be it. If that means letting rover
chew on him till he gives up, Great. "

"homeless looking guy for jaywalking, something I learned never to do many years ago because the guy (most likely) will be mentally ill, have warrants, and possibly have extremely bad hygiene and a strong chance of major infections, diseases, and lice. "

"All you are getting for this is a strong possibility of the guy resisting arrest due to mental illness and you have to beat his ass because many homeless people wear multiple layers of clothing, which renders a taser ineffective.

It's just the reality of working the streets of a major city. "

Wtf?

So tired of racist hate filled cops acting illegally. Were they part of the white nationalist movement to go into law enforcement?
