I could never get the waste of manpower in cases like this. Like is 3 maybe 4 not enough? Guy wasn't resisting, but lets all dog pile on him lol. Guess being black and all.
How does that happen? Doesnt make any sense to meWhat rock have you been living under? Yes, the worst police forces in this country (NYPD, LAPD, Chicago PD, etc.) are all under Democrat mayors and have been for decades.
Policing is a corrupt and racist institution in this country. Democrat mayors are not conducting interviews for new officers and usually do very little oversight into police practices, not to mention many Democrat politicians lean into the heavy policing/tough on crime rhetoric for political wins (see Rahm Emanuel as a perfect example of that). Plus police and their unions are a powerful political force with way more sway than poor black constituents.

Rahm was basically a Republican for everything except his connection to Obama. Don't be surprised when he goes down for corruption allowing police abuse in a few years. Chicago is a mess politically.Policing is a corrupt and racist institution in this country.

It's the hierarchy. In regards to cops, it doesn't matter who you are if you're not a cop And if you're black or brown especially, it's worse.That was disproportionate. Kid sat there with both hands up. More appropriate would be two officers enter, ask him to stand up, turn around and they just cuff him while he's standing. The guy was obviously compliant and probably scared for his life to be honest.
Including the three black officers in that video? They were not the ones that manhandled the kid I think.
It reminds me of those WWE times where stage security gets involvedThat's just egregious. I mean once you get to 6 or 7 cops you are really just standing around in the background doing nothing.
Er...a mayor does a lot more than oversee police (they don't really do much police oversight anyway). You could have the best mayor in the world and it wouldnt solve this problem though, not without completely tearing down the police force and rebuilding it.
Yes I agree but that's kind of my point...Rahm was basically a Republican for everything except his connection to Obama. Don't be surprised when he goes down for corruption allowing police abuse in a few years. Chicago is a mess politically.
You can see him starting to choke the second one before he's turned over.Jesus fuck that cop just walks up to two separate unrelated people and starts pounding them in the face. Fucking shit man.
You're in a very dark place America, very dark.
I used to love coming over there when I was younger and once dreamed of moving out to the states... Not anymore.
I am white British and would still be terrified to come out there. The police are a lawless institute in your country and its only going to get worse.
Sad times.
Instead of actually fixing the subway system Your buddy Cuomo determined that fare evasion was the reason why the mta was bleeding money and dispatched several hundred cops into stations to Ticket fare evaders. Shit like this is the logical conclusion of Cops standing around in the subways doing nothing while collecting tax dollars that can be used to fix the fucking trains. Fuck Cuomo fuck the copsI kept seeing ads posted about the NYPD cracking down on fare evasion, guess they weren't lying. This is so ridiculously silly though.
Things with cops are less bad now than they have been. Which should tell you how bad things have always been. You're just finally paying attention.You're in a very dark place America, very dark.

Dang, you're really upset that I like him huh?Instead of actually fixing the subway system Your buddy Cuomo determined that fare evasion was the reason why the mta was bleeding money and dispatched several hundred cops into stations to Ticket fare evaders.

Didn't even need to click to know he was black.
All they had to do was have one cop calmly lead him out of the subway and ticket him, or whatever. Like any police in any other western nation would do. US policing, everybody. What a fucking shame.
if i hadnt seen it on camera, i would never have believed it.
All this for travelling without a valid ticket?
Nah I'm not only surprised lol
Wait what?Reminds me of what they did here about fare hoppers. They made it so spikes come up if you try to hop over the turnstile. Must of injured someone real bad though because I noticed they were gone the other day. They have cops sweep the train to check your payment one by one too. Saw someone get caught the other day.
Sharp metal spikes/blades would retract after payment. Otherwise if you try to jump over the turnstile it'll cut you bad. I saw them install them then saw them work about three times but the other day they were gone. It was in a poor neighborhood of course no where else.

The guy wasn't just apprehended like this because he didn't pay his fare. The police were apparently responding to reports of a man with a gun. Hence the number of cops involved and having their guns drawn. But sure, leave that out.
The officers were responding "to an alert for a male with a gun," the NYPD said Saturday. It was determined that the man did not have a gun but was later charged with theft of services, the NYPD said.
The video was viewed more than half a million times by Saturday night.
The NYPD on Sunday released a statement to "clarify" the incident and identified the man as Adrian Napier, 19, of Brooklyn.
Witnesses told police officers they'd seen Napier with a gun near Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, according to the NYPD.
When officers approached Napier, he fled into the Pacific Street subway station, police said.
