Cell phone video shot by a bystander shows how a white police officer in Wisconsin repeatedly punched a black teenager in the face. Police in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin responded to a call from security at Mayfair Mall on Friday that reported five disorderly teenagers. An officer was able to spot several of the teens in the mall parking lot and attempted to speak to them, according to a statement from the police.
The cell phone video shot by a bystander shows how a security guard was struggling to hold on to a teenager before an officer violently punched the teenager in the face. That makes the teenager fall to the ground, at which point he is again punched multiple times. Whyd he punch him like that? a person can be heard saying in the video. Aint he a minor? The man who shot the video said he immediately knew that kind of violence was inappropriate from a police officer. I knew it was wrong, that punch was wrong, Tyrone Jackson said. If it was just a tussling, trying to get him down, okay that would be something different. But the punch to the face, twice, to a minor, it was something serious to me. Police arrested a 17-year-old male, who was cited for disorderly conduct, battery and resisting an officer.

with intense sociological and psychological training standards if we are going to beat this problem of abusive cops laying into their victims, many resulting in death.
Make them go to college for 4 years so the system can weed out those slobs just looking for job where they can strike out at those doing better than them in their lives and careers, and fuck them over or shoot them in the process.
The entry requirements are obviously not adequate with all these shit stains able to get a uniform and gun and throw down kids and the elderly giving them concussions, breaking bones, terrifying them. And shooting without thinking.
