https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/blink-eye-police-officers-turned-traffic-stop-unnecessarily-violent-encounter"In a heartbeat, Anthony Promvongsas sunny summer day in Worthington, Minnesota, turned from ordinary to a nightmare.
Shortly after encountering an agitated motorist driving in front of him on July 28, 2016, Anthony found himself confronted by the police. Within seconds of exiting his vehicle after pulling Anthony over, Agent Joe Joswiak of the Buffalo Ridge Drug Task Force opened the door of Anthonys car, screaming, Get the fuck out of the car, motherfucker!
Without hesitation, Agent Joswiak pulled, punched, and elbowed Anthony several times in the back while Anthony was still restrained by his seat belt. Agent Joswiak then yanked Anthony out of the car, threw him to the ground, and pressed his knee to the back of Anthonys neck to pin Anthony facedown on the pavement while he and Sgt. Tim Gaul of the Worthington Police Department applied handcuffs."

(3,148 posts)The officer that turned the audio off seems aware of the camera. He is also shady as hell for turning the audio off. Other than holding Promvongsa arms behind his back to handcuff him. He doesn't hit Promvongsa throughout the incident. I refuse to call the guy in the jeans and black shirt an officer. As he goes crazy punching, kneeing and hitting Promvongsa. The unedited video is long but you see quite a few glances at the camera and they know he assaulted that man.

Investigate, fire the cop, and then charge that brute with assault.
