This happened on Friday January 24th in Down town Troy, NY next to I Love Pizza at Kokopelis night club you can clearly see where he was willing to co-operate but was still beaten down by and hit by the police even after he was down on the floor with his hands behind his back!!!! suffered multiple bruise and a laceration to the back of he head. For absolutely nothing.
Roshawon Donley was one of at least a half dozen patrons of African descent of the nightclub, Kokopellis on 4th Street in downtown Troy, New York, who were aggressively attacked by Troy PD officers and beaten with nightsticks. Extensive, multi-angle security camera and cell phone camera footage documenting the incident show several officers as aggressors against completely nonviolent people.
Donley received numerous head wounds requiring emergency hospital treatment. The police chief and Mayor Rosamilia immediately responded that the use of force was lawful and appropriate before any official investigation could even begin.
The Community Alliance Against Police Violence, the Troy African American Pastoral Alliance, and City Council President Rodney Wiltshire have independently called for an external investigation, recognizing an inability and unwillingness for existing institutions to proceed fairly and justly.
