crazy drug task force grabbing any black man and beating them to a pulp.https://brooklyn.news12.com/caught-on-camera-violent-arrest-made-inside-boreum-hill-liquor-store-investigation-underway
News 12 has learned the man has 32 stitches, a broken nose and is getting an MRI to check for a brain injury. People rallied outside the liquor store today including Hawk Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter New York .
"Imagine beating someone so mercilessly and being caught on camera and you have the bravado to keep going," said Newsome.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch released a statement on X, confirming that the officers are now on modified duty.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has also released a statement confirming the investigation, saying the actions of the officers as disturbing and unacceptable.
Police say the man was charged with resisting arrest, but a spokesperson with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office tells News 12 those charges will be dropped.

If case won the taxpayers pay the damages, not the police so no incentive to stop behavior. The trauma caused by even a simple unwarranted arrest lives with you forever. Onlookers as well.
