Caught on camera: NYPD officer cracks alleged fare beater in head with nightstick

In the clip that I've given you the link to above , a young man got hit  in the head by a police officer's nightstick. I don' t know about anybody else but I am tired of every week police being apart of another violent attack on a minorities. When I first watched the video it kinda hurt because, in the first couple of seconds , you see a young man get hit with a nightstick in the head by a police officer then run . Throughout the video the you can tell there was no reason for the extreme force that was used. In Participation in Government , where discussion a variety if things from your rights to criminal and civil cases. So know I have a little more knowledge about law and enforcing it. What is allowed and what isn't.

 When is the government and authorities going to stand up for people? Aren't the police suppose to protect and serve? Actions like this are unnecessary , just like when black were hosed and beaten with nightsticks to be put in "order." People are untitled to rights , everybody is untiled to rights. The law is unfair it's plain and simple. Look at all the accidents that have happened in the past couple of years.

 Things need to change. Why is that minorities are always being attacked? No offense but when was the last time you heard about a white person getting beat or killed by a cop ?  There are  a lot of question in the atmosphere. When will they be answers? Its scary that it won't change . Young black hispanic and blacks shouldn't have to worry about getting stopped and harassed by police . It hits home because my nephew will eventually be a statics. People should be able to live without being in fear . The only way violence could stop is if police stop first !

    I agree with your statement on when was the last time any Caucasian got attacked by a police officer, it isn't right or fair and I hate to say that the world we live in allows this injustice to go to such extremes.

    I agree with you that things need to change, though i doubt it will for a long time. Black people tend to complain and protest in the moment of the problem then forget about it. People didn't even remember Trevon Martin until this Ferguson case came up....i feel like black people are the only race who isn't evolving.

    I agree ! I don't get the point of making cops wear cameras on their uniform, yet the cop that killed Eric Garner, wasn't convicted. This life we in is very corrupted and sad.

    I am not sure that the problem is limited to the police. The police act violently because they feel a real fear. However, that real fear is based on racist thought patterns. Those thoughts are systemic to our society. I have even heard students say things I would consider racist. Students say it is 'funny,' but it really boils down to the same attitude that propels police violence.
