Lauren Aratani, who wrote this article, managed to give the names of all the victims and the person who filmed the violence. Yet not a single officer's name is listed. I have to assume that Lauren Aratani is a boot licker.
Also it's disgusting that the police stated this happened because they were trying to keep the child safe. The NYPD (in its entirety) can all go fuck themselves.
I’m not going to watch the video but if the title is true, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH POLICE IN THIS COUNTRY!?
I mean, a freaking toddler!!
Gross. Embarrassing. Disgusting. Abhorrent. Depraved.
A storied history of systemic racism and violence. A lack of adequate training. A lack of accountability. A complete lack of repercussions that actually affect them - tax payers footing the bill for settlements instead of cop pension funds. A mob-like culture that protects abusive cops and uses fear to keep the rest in line.
Should I go on?
Love to see fucking camo present in civilian policing activities. Also ACAB, but NYPD particularly so.
“The health and safety of all migrants and longtime New Yorkers in our care – especially young children – is always a top priority, and this matter is currently under investigation.”
What's the word for when someone records a video of an atrocity, and then you say the opposite of what happened?
It's sick. After they tazed him:.
an officer holds him down as another punches him in the head.
I skimmed the article - did it say if the kid was ok? Christ on a cracker.
If the police are trying to arrest him and the mother is right there why didn't he give her the child?
Victim blame much?
