Authorities probe beating video of Maryland student

[Bigum1969]

You gotta watch the video located at the following link... It seems clear that this guy was beaten. If you hear what the police report was it is also clear that the officers lied about it.

This is not an indictment on all cops, but the ones involved in this situation at minimum lied in their report.

I had to look twice to see that was not LA.
Law Enforcement has it hard enough without goons like that making their image even worse. Maybe the video doesn't show something him doing to set off the officers, but no matter what that level of force against someone who was clearly on the ground and not resisting is criminal on their part.

That guy looks like he was unconscious before he even hit the ground and they continued to hit him about 15 more times awhile his limp body laid there.



If those POS bullies died in a house fire tonight, I wouldn't lose sleep.

If this wasn't caught on videotape, that student would probably end up in jail for "striking the horses and the police officers".

Wow. Hard to say without being there, but it sure looks pretty clear.

He didn't appear to threaten them in any way.

True. Look how little attention the Danziger Bridge massacre has gotten because we don't have a video.

Yes, thank Heaven for video cameras on cell phones...To think those sacks of would have gotten off scot free without video is sickening.

He must have threatened them or something. I'm sure the police would not act like that without provocation.

Maryland cops have had a reputation for this kind of behaviour for decades and it's only become worse over the last few years. They pretty much do what they want and skate when there's anything resembling heat. Don't look for there to be any real punishment for this crime.

You're probably right.

Tagging for some evening discussion.

It's never a good day when someone in LE fails to protect and serve, Sad very Sad,

 

[SavageEagle]

It looked like he was taunting the police. But to receive THAT in return??? Nah, that's just not right...

 

[jclark]

Damn! that's a beating!

 

[OneBadV8]

wow

I think you could safely say those officers were acting stupidly

I've met some real dick PG County Officers. PG County has been inundated with droves of section 8 housing and riff-raff moving from expensive DC to "cheap" MD suburbs. Gangs and crime have increased multiplicitively there. IDK if it's because the crime increase made them hire more cops or what, but that was not reasonable force by any means. College Park (UMD) is right in the middle PG county. Stupid college kids should worry about getting mugged, not beat to hell by the cops.

Not to mention how bad those bags make nice guys like you look.

i hope those are the few bad apples. lucky for the young man someone came forth with the video.

I didn't see any taunting. I saw him "skipping" down the street, notice the horse and then backup.

Looks like the kid was just a happy drunk... then BOOM! He clearly didn't taunt the police and certainly didn't harm them physically.
