? Of The Day: What Is The Worst Incidence of Police Brutality In History?
It’s a shame that we can count on more than two hands
Yesterday we debated ad nauseum the questionable beatdown caught on tape that a 15-year-old received from a Seattle police officer after talking sh*t and kicking off her shoes. While not all civilian run-ins with police are as clear cut as January’s Bay Area Shooting, we’ve experienced quite a lot of incidents of people ending up in the hospital or worse following a confrontation with the police.
While not all were caught on camera and surprising not all victims are black (but most are.) But it does beg the question, what do you think is the worst incidence of police brutality in history?
FILED IN Need to Know
tough? I guess any case where someone dies because of an asshole w/ a badge
Obviously there’s Rodney King (pictured above)
Rodney King is the worse on every single level especially considering that it was never supposed to be seen. He got an extra “no one is ever gonna know about this” ass beating, BUT it was recorded, obviously.
Abner Louima Sodomized w/a plunger by nypd
Amadou Diallo Shot 41 tIMES BY nypd while reaching for his wallet
Sean Bell of Course
You had the other african guy who cops shot at the storage facility in downtown manhattan
You had the little kid who got killed by a housing cop on the roof of the jects in East New York.
AND THESE ARE JUST THE CASES IN NY GOD DAMN!
my points exactly and the ones we KNOW about.
This is the only example I can remember of an incident in which the white dude was the victim.
That officer was actually fired 2 weeks ago his lawyer tried to say he resigned but insiders say he was fired. Rookie ass nigga
the worst?? THE WORST???? HOW ABOUT ALL OF THEM!!!!!
Exactly…I’m trying to make everyone realize how much this goes on. Its crazy.
NYPD damn!!!
BART! The suspect was in cuffs….IN CUFFS on his stomach & was shot & killed….IN CUFFS, SUBDUED! definetly in the top three for me
