An NYPD officer is caught on camera appearing to knock teen Marcel Hamer unconscious after stopping him for smoking a cigarette, believing it to be marijuana.




Another brutal video of police violence surfaced on Wednesday, this time from New York City. The incident took place over the summer, when 17-year-old Marcel Hamer was walking down the street in Brooklyn. According to lawyers for the family, which is suing the officer, Hamer was walking home from school around 3:30 p.m. smoking a cigarette when he was confronted by a plainclothes police officer.

The video, taken by a friend of Hamer, begins with the young man lying on the curb underneath the rear bumper of a parked car. The police officer, who apparently suspected the cigarette contained marijuana, stands over Hamer as he pleads, “Mister, it was just a cigarette, sir.” The cop then appears to knock Hamer unconscious and handcuffs him.
Here’s more a more detailed account of the encounter from the Brooklyn Paper.

CCTV Footage: ANOTHER, officer assaults commuter. When is this going to end?.

CCTV Footage: ANOTHER, officer assaults commuter. When is this going to end?.

Damning CCTV footage released by a court shows a police officer shoving a train commuter into the wall of a cell and then throwing him to the floor after the man failed to show identification.

Dean Bradley Anderson, 40, a senior constable once commended for bravery, is likely to lose his job of 13 years after he was found guilty of four counts of assault in Melbourne Magistrates Court (Australia) on Thursday.

Anderson was found by magistrate Elizabeth Lambden to have assaulted commuter Anton Perry on December 13, 2012 in a police cell at Flinders Street station. CCTV footage of the assault was released by the court late on Thursday.

What a dork.

Just wondering if you listened to the facts as they were laid out at the Ferguson press conference and still came away with the impression that Brown was shot in the back while running away and/or surrendering.

Always found it curious that they would burn down the businesses in their own community. It seems like it would make a lot more sense if they would get in cars, go to the suburbs, and torch a Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Don't be so quick.

"White" people protested in a different manner. With they're money. They stopped frequenting establishments the were black owned and they put the brakes on affirmative action hiring to name a few. There was a great article in the Los Angeles Times that noted the drop in investment and hiring practices as a result. I will try to dig it up. Whites protested at the ballots by electing officials that went on to reduce benefits to the blacks.

To equate how the whites reacted to that of how the blacks reacted negates the history that each of them were brought with. One had to fight for the civil rights while the other had their rights handed to them simply because the colour of their skin.

There is however a similarity with Timothy McVeigh. In that case that is an example of a white man who believed he was being persecuted by the government to the point he decided it was necessary to make a statement by murdering people with a car bomb.

When you feel you're being persecuted and have no other avenue then rage and emotion take over and you lash out with whatever means are at your disposal. Whites just do it differently papa. Deep down inside they're not that different.

On more than one occasion I had met Mc Veigh and to be honest he was a moron and not capable of planning a picnic let alone a what he did.

I'm sure his many victims appreciate the depths of his stupidity.
