He might be towing a howitzer behind him.

Surprised they didn't respond with the APC.

Oh good another anti cop thread... We don't have nearly enough of these on the front page right now.

This isn't anti cop, it's anti police brutality. Big difference.

BROOKLYN — Two NYPD officers are under criminal investigation after punching and bashing a 16-year-old suspect in the face with a gun despite the teen raising his hands to surrender, according to a video obtained by DNAinfo New York.

The surveillance footage obtained exclusively by “On The Inside" shows the two officers catch up to marijuana suspect Kahreem Tribble after a brief chase in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

As the teen stops running, one officer throws a punch at his face. Then, as the suspect raises his hands, the other officer clocks him with his gun.

Tribble was arrested for possessing 17 small bags of marijuana and disorderly conduct on Aug. 29. At his arraignment, he pleaded guilty to a violation and was released with cracked teeth and bruises. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/1...n_5944736.html

We really need a federal mandate for police lapel cams. I hate when the government steps in and mandates things but I think someone needs to police the police. Do you think the federal government should finally step in and mandate it.

There are police for the police. They're called Internal Affairs.

Why should cops have their guns out while arresting someone for a nonviolent crime?

They shouldn't. But these dumbass pigs are trigger happy and whip it out every chance they get because to them, everybody is a bloodthirsty criminal packing a glock.

No difference to sheep.

Careful how you use that term, I think you might be getting yourself mixed up.

Which will be involved, I don't think they can however force police to wear lapel cams. The federal government can.

Perhaps it's you that's mixed up though

The article says the cops are under criminal investigation, what more do you want?

780,000 cops in the US. If 1% makes a serious mistake each year that's 78,000 mistakes.

One of them even got suspended with no pay, which is a bigger step than a lot of departments have been taking when these actually get out. It's sad how often they get paid vacation though.

That's way to many. Classifying assault with a weapon, battery etc as a mistake is pretty disturbing. The kid got his teeth knocked out for a few bags of weed. Totally unnecessary.

Exactly how many times have you posted that example of your inability to do pretty basic mathematics?

Actual results, not "investigation" that gets thrown in the bin after a few weeks no matter what they find.

While it is only 7.8k, it is still 7.8k too many.

Even if the numbers were correct it wouldn't show repeat offenders.

This dude got busted with 17 bags of weed, wtf do you think the situation was... his friends all collaborated together that night and bought him 17 bags of weed and put it in a duffel bag? Are you kidding me?

The cops over-reacted for sure, but give me a fucking break on "this poor kid" shit.

No he was selling weed obviously. Oh wait I forgot you get gun butted and assaulted for that. Where did I say "this poor kid"? You just like misquoting people?

[Gheld]

Selling marijuana? He should just work harder and get a real job. I mean a "real university degree" in the us only costs a hundred thou or two after interest.

I forgot how you get to choose how the cops react to you when you run from them after committing a crime.
