Seriously... it's so fucked up that this stuff happens... how cops abuse their power especially when it's with someone that would be regarded as a minority like this guy. I'm furious over this.
Hopefully the abuse will subside with these recent exposures of how cops abuse their power though.
yep, thats fucked up shit there.
It's open season on minorities now. The Repubes have made it so.
Well, shit. That is literally really close to home, that's where I grew up.
I bet there will be a lot of assholes who will still try to justify the actions of the officers on that scene.
I hope a lot of people see this video.

It's by where I still live. Only about 10-15 min away.
And @Atheon... I'm pretty sure this kind of shit has been going on for a LONG time... I just think finally the exposure of these fucked up things is finally getting out.
"Just a few bad apples..."
And on and on and on....
After researching the internet, I can't believe how many cases of police misconduct and brutality there are. We really are becoming a fascist police State already. It isn't just happening to different races, but to gays, woman, and anyone that is different. With the inhumane torture our government does and invading other countries, and the extreme prejudice our police are showing, I feel we are one step from being like Nazi Germany. Look at our private prison system that incarcerates people that aren't really hurting anyone, but because there are stupid laws on the books. :fU:

Looks like Orwell was off by about 30 years
It's been this way for a long time. The difference between then and now is the camera and cops, given the chance will gladly destroy evidence of misconduct as they have for years. The vast majority of people never have to deal with police and so assume that police are there to protect them from 'the bad guys' and never bother to question police motives nor who the bad guys really are. It was the cameras that got the civil rights movement the momentum it did in the 60s and then came shows like COPS which was pure propaganda used to demonize minorities and poor people as all drunken crack heads.. The camera works both ways.

It must be a shit tree growing shit apples.
I think we'll see a new version of COPS soon to counter the bad publicity they've received of late and we'll have a new group of criminals to demonize, Liberals..
To bad we don't have hit shows that tell it like it really is where cops are on the take and their primary interest is in protection of wealth and not the citizenry.

I live minutes away from Montclair. I used to work on Bloomfield Ave at a Verizon store that used to be there in Verona... Actually.. the Verizon I used to work at was next to where the White Castle and across from where the Verona Inn used to be for the longest time.
Heres some more on the guy they arrested and abused, his story talked about on a radio show.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl-zdHxTFjc
It goes a bit more into detail on how they tried to withhold evidence from the court case such as the third police cards recorded footage, and how they tried to play dumb when it was revealed.

Are you old enough to remember the White Castle? I know exactly these places you speak of. Small world. THE VI! That place was famous for selling beer the latest, so many a road trip was made there.
I am not old enough... Lol My grandfather apparently always went there though haha

If it makes you feel any better, I was alive for 100% of the 90s... lol
Plus don't say Whippersnapper. I KNOW you are too young for that word :lol:
I was alive for half of the nineties, I don't even remember there being a white castle in my state, much less eating at one :P
