...the modern-day faux-gestapo types, as well as all the other jackbooted police-state automatons, are notoriously bad when it comes to the details? They just start swinging and then make it all up afterwards. Which is why so many of these cases are getting thrown heartily out of the courtrooms.

- Yeah, I think endless lawsuits that ultimately force police layoffs is the way to go......

A YouTube video shows a shocking incident of police brutality that occurred at Philadelphia’s Puerto Rican Parade on September 30. While many people were celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade in Philadelphia, one attendee was punched in the face by a police officer—the incident was caught on tape.

A Philadelphia officer has been placed on administrative leave as Internal Affairs investigates the incident many consider a shocking case of police brutality caught on tape.

The video “Philadelphia Police Brutality” was uploaded to YouTube Sunday, September 30, by Gisela Valentin. The video shows a group of officers gathered around a car and people behind them spraying water at them.

One woman, dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, walks from the left frame toward the officers in the right frame. A user on Reddit slows a video clip of the woman, who appears to have a water bottle in her hand, spraying the officers.

...because I was there that summer, visiting family that still lived there then. And the Glenville Riots in Cleveland in the summer of 1968, but I had already left.

And in other cities on the night of April 4th 1968, I remember that there were riots in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Chicago. And I also remember seeing the cops kick the shit out of a guy on campus at TSU on the night of April 4th, 1968. And the jackboots driving through the black neighborhoods of Nashville like they were insane.

The next morning the Tennessee National Guard and the local gestapo had the black neighborhoods cordoned-off with half-tracks and tanks.

- Yeah, I'll never forget what they did. Never.
