If a picture is worth a thousand words, this video is worth hundreds of thousands.
If it takes 26 cops to take down ONE GUY, what would they have done if there had been two of them? Or three?
It starts with the man being held down by four cops. He is struggling or writhing, screaming and calling out for his grandmother. A bicycle can be seen a few feet away. A cop punches him repeatedly. Then another police car pulls up and an officer gets out yelling, “I have a f*cking Taser, here I come! You’re getting the f*cking Taser!”
An officer can then be heard saying, “Tase that motherf*cker.”
Multiple officers can then be seen pummeling the man with fists, another screams, “you f*cking bit me you piece of sh*t!”
24 of the Officers were White, 2 were Black according to the videographer. And wait until you hear what it was Carroll supposedly did to bring down this many Officers on him, over the flip.
According to the videographer Caroll's horrible crime was riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road.
Yes, seriously.
The video, posted by Los Angeles blogger and journalist Jasmyne Cannick, reportedly documents the arrest of Tyree Carroll, a 22-year-old Philadelphian who the camerawoman and witness says was stopped while riding his bike.
Not that that "crime" was included in the charges filed against him.
According to Cannick, the incident occurred April 3 at 7:30 p.m. He was arrested on charges of assault, recklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest, and several drug charges.
Apparently he was arraigned on $5000 bail, but remains in custody to this very day because of previous parole violations.
Cycling While Black. What's next, Breathing while Black?
