BLUE ON BLACK CRIME - Police Brutality/Total Incompetence in the East Village 4/24/10 PART 1 of 2

Before you watch these videos you need to know what went down before the camera rolled: This teenage girl was unruly, loud, and having words with a woman and being disruptive on 11th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. When the police arrived she ran and got one block away with two officers in pursuit. They caught up to her and dropped her on the sidewalk. The two officers jumped on her, kicked her, cuffed her, smashed her face into the sidewalk, dragged her up and lifted the cuffs behind her back as to put pressure on her shoulders, her pants were falling down and they raced her back to the police car. She was crying and screaming the whole time. When back at the police car the two officers put her in the car and then pulled her out- this is when we began filming. As you watch note how many police officers, cars arrive. Note the tone of the officers as they speak to the young girls who arrive on the scene, note the panicky energy as they tell us to move back (they have a teenage girl cuffed on the ground, not a hulking brute) and you can see the non-"courtesy professionalism and respect", note the woman with a little dog in her hand instigating the young girls who are upset at seeing a peer in pain, this woman who is doing nothing but trying to rile up the crowd... A few others showed up with cameras and that made the police very aware and agitated. WHY WHEN SHE WAS IN THE CAR DID THEY NOT DRIVE HER TO THE PRECINCT TO DIFFUSE THE SITUATION OR EVEN AROUND THE CORNER? WHY DID 20PLUS OFFICERS SHOW UP FOR A TEENAGE UNRULY GIRL? WHY DID THEY KICK HER AND TREAT HER LIKE AN ANIMAL?
