Showing Original Post only (View all)Police Mercilessly Punch Defenseless Man In The Head As Walmart Shoppers Watch In Horror [View all]
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/08/25/police-mercilessly-punch-defenseless-man-in-the-head-as-walmart-shoppers-watch-in-horror-video/Walmart shoppers in South Carolina were left traumatized on Saturday after local police in Greenville beat the hell out of a defenseless man in front of them. And the whole thing was caught on camera.
Police were called to the store at 1:00pm to respond to concerns about an allegedly intoxicated man standing outside the front doors. After officers arrived on the scene, the man told them Im 911″ and went inside the store. An officers used a taser to take the unknown man down. But police didnt stop there. They decided to demonstrate what police brutality looks like as shoppers watched.
One officer mercilessly kept punching the man in the head while he was lying on the floor. Witnesses, who said police actions in Ferguson, Missouri have caused them to pay more attention to what police do, begged the officers to stop.
Please dont punch him like that. Please dont. Dont punch him no more, one customer can be heard saying in the background of a cell phone video of the incident.

No one forces them to be cops. So I have zero sympathy for those who abuse the trust
