A domestic violence call. The cops and a friend of the suspect showed up at approximately the same time.

The friend was told to wait in the hallway, which he did, occupying himself with his smartphone.

Two minutes later four cops show up, talk to him, pat him down, tell him to stay in a corner of the hallway.

He goes into the corner, still fiddling with his smartphone.

They tell him to sit on the ground. He refuses, pointing to his pants.

The four cops gang up on him, punching him repeatedly in the face and body, dragging him to the floor, handcuffing him.

At the end of the surveillance-video, they drag him away like a piece of meat.

He was never charged with anything.

Mesa Police Chief Ramon Batista says he didn’t know about the incident or the video until a week after it had happened.

1. And in the Target/bikini thread

A poster actually recommended the female AA should have insisted store security call the police. Shit like this, and many others, is why I don't agree.

2. Linkage should be made

to Trump's call to brutalize suspects and getting a mass cheer from law enforcement sitting right behind him.
