WATCH: NYPD Officers Take Turns Beating Bronx Man After Search Turns Up Nothing

A Bronx man has accused a half-dozen NYPD officers of taking turns beating and kicking him after he asked an officer why he had been searched when she was responding to a noise complaint, according to ABC7.

According to Santiago Hernandez, 23, he was standing in front of a home in the Melrose section of the Bronx on August 18th when a uniformed NYPD officer stopped and asked to frisk him.

“I turned around and put my hands up,” Hernandez explained, saying the officers told him they were investigating a noise complaint.

When the search turned up nothing, Hernandez asked why he had been searched. At that point the female officer grabbed his armed and slapped a handcuff on him.

“I’m like, ‘Miss what you doing? You are hurting my arm,’ ” Hernandez said. “She just was telling me to put my hands behind my back, but ‘I’m like trying to understand what are you are arresting me for. Can you please tell me?’.”

He did some good things, but in my mind, he will always be remembered for promoting the police state and the erosion of our liberties.

You can tell they don't get it. This guy was in jail, he's familiar with the legal process. He knew he'd done nothing wrong, so he asked why he was being arrested before allowing the cuffs to go on. Why do people insist that others just allow themselves to be wrongly imprisoned?

What was the nature of the noise complaint? Because if the complaint was loud music what were they frisking him for, amplifiers? What noise complaint could it be that they expected to find evidence of concealed on his person? Have they ever heard of illegal search laws?
