College student "taken down" by police

[GarfieldtheCat]

Black college student walking along, taken down and abused by cops (look at the video, he isn't resisting, but they are just about dislocating his shoulder as he screams in pain).

His "crime".....walking while black. Police were looking for someone that committed robbery.

Guess all black people look alike to cops, they sure seem to grab them off the streets all the time.

I'm amazed the kid doesn't have a broken arm or dislocated shoulder from the cops. Wonder what happened to the guy recording the video, looks like he was embarrassed by the cops as well.

And we all know the cops won't be disciplined, and will continue with this, and everyone will just say that the kid is lucky the cops didn't shoot and kill him.

What a wonderful country we live in where cops are free to abuse anyone whenever they want.

I am happy that these videos keep surfacing. LEOs need to be tamed and it will come to a point that they will be. We are getting there with more videos like this and I welcome the revolt.

agreed. I think eventually with the videos, police confiscating cameras (and getting recorded from someone else doing it), false arrest over it, etc. we are going to hit a tipping point.

Yep, and now that some devices have live cloud recording even confiscating the devices won't help the LEOs.
