Anonymous Coward User ID: 796629 Canada 10/17/2009 11:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LONDON, Ontario — Accusations of police brutality are being leveled at city police and the University of Western Ontarios campus police after a video surfaced on YouTube showing six officers beating a suspect during an arrest. Quoting: Jack Sprat 793643But city police and university officials say the disoriented and violent suspect was combative and resistant after campus police tried to arrest the 22-year-old who had barricaded himself in an upper floor office of the Social Sciences building. City police were called to assist in the arrest around 5 p.m. and the student was eventually subdued and taken to hospital for observation before being charged with mischief, resisting arrest, assault, and escaping custody. The video, shot by an unknown student, shows the suspect being kneed at least five times, struck with a telescopic baton at least six times and punched by one officer at least 27 times. lmfao....that was hilarious, watching that one cop punching the dude in the front of the pile...lol....absolutely hilarious |
