Bronx, NY – A video published on Youtube yesterday by user benfarias13 shows an apalling abuse of power by the NYPD when they pull over and arrest a man for absolutely no reason.
The video begins with the driver sitting calmly in his car when an officer walks up and opens the car door, demanding he “step out of the car.” The cop immediately tells him to put his hands behind his back and cuffs him, asking him if he has any weapons. The man complies and replies that he does not have any weapons, asking why he’s being arrested. The officer does not answer, asking again if he has any weapons. The driver reiterates that he has no weapons, asking again why he’s being arrested. The officer’s answer? “Because.”
The man asks again,
“Because what? Why Am I being arrested? Tell me why I’m being arrested. You never even told me why I got pulled over in the first place.”
The cop repeats “You have any weapons on you?” to which the driver firmly repeats he does not. Still not getting an answer as to why he’s being detained, the driver asks
“Why did you search my vehicle, because you saw a bag? That makes no sense.”
Apparently the officers thought he was carrying a gun around in a platic bag. Understandably bewildered, the man asks
“Why would you assume there’s a weapon in a plastic bag?"

The police admit, on tape, that they had no reason to stop him, and laugh about it.
But.. but.. they’re the NYPD! They’re esteemed HEROES, don’tcha know??
Later FOR SURE.
Arrested for driving while white?
Yeah! That’s justice!

So I wonder if those cops hauled him somewhere and worked him over. Fecking power-mad pricks should lose their jobs over this.
All this Anti-Blue Crap coming out the last 24-48 Hours.
These Guys are only Human, We all make mistakes, most, not as often as Others.
I live in a small Tx town with a “Gestapo Like” Police DEPT and I look like a Damn Meth Dealer, I see both sides of this argument, But in the END, BLESS these men in Blue!
But, if you’re not doing anything wrong what are you worried about? /s
Pulling over and detaining someone just “because,” then knowingly inventing a reason isn’t a “mistake.” It’s called a “power trip.”
Must be Bratton’s guys.
It would be different, and painfully obvious, if they were keeping the LAW in mind while doing their job.
Another day, more out of control cops that deserve some serious jail time for their abusive behavior.
Black cop, unarmed white victim. Where’s Al Sharpton?
Charge him for posting videos not shot in landscape format. Guilty. Hang him.
Sort of like a dentist deliberately drilling a healthy tooth for no reason.
The guy just earned himself from the city something well into six figures all for a few minutes of inconvenience.
If I were him, I’d take that money and move to a different state.

Is this an anti-cop site? I remember another article from them a few days ago being used to trash the cops.
5 cops have been shot in NYC since December - 2 or 3 of them have bought the farm. Whaddya think of that?
