I've watched this video several times this morning and not only do I find it appalling and disgusting, it's frightening. Citizens are no longer safe from the police.
A video, recorded by surveillance cameras at an apartment building captured, 6 Mesa, Arizona police beating, punching, kneeing unarmed black man. Even more sickening is watching the "black police officers" perpetrate this crime. What the hey? Do they not see the color of their skin or have sons, nephews, brothers, uncles, etc.? Yet they participate in beating this black man? They shouldn't be able to look another black man in the face - EVER!!! Their conscious and guilt should burn a hole in their soul!! The bald police officer kneed the man 3 times and punched him in the face 6 times!
The YouTube video shows the full 20 minutes of these officers torturing the man.
They:
These officers need to be criminally charged., not put on administrative leave and certainly not paid. They treated that young man like an animal. I'm confident they didn't know they were being video. I have no words for the black police officers involved. I hope when charges are brought against these officers, the black police offices bear a heavier lot of guilt and responsibility.
Over the last month there has been incidents showing police officers punching and beating women, senior citizens. No one is safe. I now feel that I must keep my phone always ready and available to video and record, especially if I ever have to interact with law enforcement. Citizens are now in need of laws to protect them from those who are paid (by citizens) to uphold the law and protect - law enforcement.
There should be a federal law that deals with law enforcement officers who perpetrate these kinds of crime. It should not be left to the local authorities to try cases involving "their own". The Mesa police officer, Phillip Brailsford, who shot and killed unarmed Daniel Shaver, was found NOT GUILTY. I don't think citizens trust the "local systems"

They:
- punched him
- kicked him
- dragged him on the ground
- slammed his face into the metal elevator door
- pressed his head/face into the concreate floor
- fingered his eyes
- kneed him
- using their knees the virtually sat on him for 30 seconds with their full body weight, while he was fully constrained
- asphyxiated him by muzzling him like a dog with the white cloth, restricting his breathing passages
- before carrying him out like an animal.
