Another Police Brutality Video

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/36456147#36456147

It seems a lot of these are coming forward nowadays, and a recent case in Maryland has the university up in arms.

Does anyone have an additional information on this? They originally charged the students with assault on police but those were dropped shortly afterwards.

They're here to protect and serve......

right?

EDIT:

Here is a better video from cnn

That'll teach fat-people to skip and frolic about.

Edit: I counted, after his tubby body goes limp, the two cops beat him (at least) 11 more times with their nightsticks.

😆

I laughed out loud when they started beating him. Not because I found an innocent man getting beaten, funny, but because of how absurd and illegal this was...and also because he was skipping around like an idiot, just like I would be. hahaha What was even funnier: falsified reports. I sure hope they clean house, quick fast and in a hurry. I also hope criminal charges are filed and 3 police get fines and community service, just like any other criminal.

I refreshed the page and saw your post. How dare you beat me to it.

Just fines and community service?

They should get sent to jail just as you or I would, if we charged a skipping fat-kid; slammed him into a wall; knocked him unconscious and then proceeded to stomp his rotund motionless body.

They should also be kicked from the force and barred from ever joining again.

though, we will be lucky if they are suspended without pay

Agreed, too bad be wasn't black, then the hammer would fall on at least one of the officers. Not saying this to be racist, but it's just the truth.

For some logic that escapes by ability to comprehend:

-Beating someone = bad

-Beating someone and saying a racial slur = bad X2

Just don't understand that, when in the end, both 'people' were beaten the same.

sigh.... i am sure happy for camcorders and video phones.. you would think cops would start realizing this sh#@ when they are thinking of doing this sh#@ in large group gatherings...

also what the police did is more then just assault and battery it is assault and battery with a deadly weapon with the intend to do harm or bodily injury..

a year in the slammer would be the least i would expect not adding other charges like falsifying police report also the other cops not doing anything should also be reprimanded or fired for allowing that Sh#$.. the minute one honest police officer looks the other way for the actions of a dirty police officer is the minute he too is a dirty officer.

fair enough, but there are legitimate concerns about a raciallized and aggressive police force that aren't there from a normally just aggressive police, are there not?

no skipping in the hallway!!!

agreed. Not only did they assault with weapons with the intention of harm, but they did also falisfy reports. I will be watching this very case very closely, it makes you wonder whos side these ***** are on.

W/e happened to that cop who shot the black guy in handcuffs?

What did the student say to the police? There could have been a good reason, depending upon what was said. Like if he had said "I have a bomb, and I'm going to kill everyone". That would have lead to this kind of response. I'm not saying that is what he said, but we don't know. We should not assume that the police are at fault until both sides are told.

read the police report if the student had said that i am sure the police would have put it in their report,... now stop giving the cops and their lawyers ideas. 😠

What I read was that no one knows what the student said. That means that the reporter doesn't not know what the student said. That does not mean that someone else does not know. So, you tell me what he said...

Not sure, last I heard the trial was still pending. So?

"I have a bomb" would certainly be probable cause for stopping the individual physically and searching their person.

I'm glad its either "cops are right" or "cops are wrong", not that beating a person for no given reaon, when one is trained to physically subdue people in better ways, is a bad thing and probably counter-productive to a terrorist attack anyways (beating really doesn't prevent exploding).

Police are claiming he did something he clearly didn't do.

But it will teach them a lesson before the bomb goes off.

"This is police brutality pure and simple," said Griffiths, who plans to file a civil lawsuit against police on McKenna's behalf.

Griffiths says the beating is only half the story. This is the sworn statement of charges against McKenna by the police alleges assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. It claims McKenna "struck those officers and their horses causing minor injuries," and that McKenna was "kicked by the horses and sustained minor injuries."

The video does not support either of the police claims.

McKenna suffered a head wound requiring multiple staples. The injuries to his body match the pattern of the police batons -- not horses hooves

What was that? I didn't have time to read all of the article (I skimmed it).
