f it takes 26 cops to take down ONE GUY, what would shey have done if there had been two of them? Or three.

It starts with the man being held down by four cops. He is struggling or writhing, screaming and calling out for his grandmother. A bicycle can be seen a few feet away. A cop punches him repeatedly. Then another police car pulls up and an officer gets out yelling, “I have a f*cking Taser, here I come! You’re getting the f*cking Taser!”

An officer can then be heard saying, “Tase that motherf*cker.”

Multiple officers can then be seen pummeling the man with fists, another screams, “you f*cking bit me you piece of sh*t!”

24 of the Officers were White, 2 were Black according to the videographer. And wait until you hear what it was Carroll supposedly did to bring down this many Officers on him, over the flip.

This is the stuff I want those presidential candidates to pay more attention.

Partly because I can't stand to see more horrifying abuse, but largely because I have a child snuggled up against me. And this young man is someone's baby too.

North, South, East and West. The police thugs are playing sadistic games with our people.

Do we have any cities that have humane and ethical police forces?
