NY's finest beat the crap out of another black man.
Are they in training for when martial law is declared, or are they just (racist) jackasses on a power trip?


Mediations, 80's Dancehall crooning sensations Michael Palmer and Johnny Osbourne and smooth vocalist and musician Ed Robinson are joining popular New York media personality Michelle 'Micheboo' Thompson in taking a stand against police brutality. On Tuesday, September 16th at New York's City's famous SOB's night club, Micheboo will be hosting the artists in a fundraising event dubbed 'REGGAE FOR JUSTICE,' in benefit for her 24-year-old son who is currently at Ward's Island Psychiatric Center, suffering severe damage to the head, neck, back, and legs after being savagely beaten by police officers from New York City's 112th Precinct in the Forest Hills section of Queens.

On the evening of June 6th, Isus Thompson was sitting in a playground on Austin Street in Forest Hills, alone. According to Micheboo, he was leaving the park, when he was approached by an officer who ordered him to go back into the park. He went back into the park with the officer, as the officer looked around to secure the park. As they were exiting the park, the officer escorted him to the squad car where he was frisked and search. The officer called for back up, which is when Isus demanded that he hadn't done anything wrong and, in a panic, ran. After being cornered, according to Isus, approximately 10 police officers hurled racial slurs at him and proceeded to ferociously beat him with fists and nightsticks. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in a semi-catatonic state, and over three months later, remains hospitalized with severe physical and psychological injuries.

Today is a good day, tomorrow is a bad day," states Micheboo of her son's present condition, suggesting that the trauma to his head has lead to some mental instability. "It's destroying me to see my son like this."

1. Fuckers were probably afraid he was going to vote for Obama.
There's a special place in hell...from the start, that cop obviously planned a gang-beating of an innocent black man. :mad:

3. New York cops
Are notorious for this crap. It is part of Ghoulini's legacy. Even if this man was guilty of something, is no reason for him to be beat up like a second class citizen.
