FULL TITLE: Horrifying moment cops 'surround innocent man who just crawled from a burning car and kick him in the HEAD'
Shocking video has emerged of New Jersey cops approaching a man as he crawls from a burning vehicle and proceeding to kick him in the head and neck.
The footage, filmed on Sunday in Jersey City, shows the victim engulfed in flames, dragged into the road and assaulted. And officials say that he was a bystander, not the fleeing suspect who crashed into him, nj.com reported.
'Our investigators have reviewed the video and we believe with certainty that this man is the bystander from West New York who suffered burns, not Leo Pinkston, the individual pursued by police,' Hudson County prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

Talk about adding injury to insult.
Watch “A Clockwork Orange” to get a feel for the world in which we now live. The book/movie was downright prophetic.
Nahhh. This narrative is all wrong.
Actually his head was on fire and the nice friendly police officers were trying to stomp it out.
Yeah. That’s the ticket.
He’s gonna be a very wealthy man..............soon.........................
The footage, originally obtained by Univision, begins at this point, showing the man crawling from the car, engulfed in flames.
He rolls on the ground with little effect, and appears to throw off clothing. Suddenly, a group of police arrive, guns drawn, and surround him.
As the man lowers himself to the ground, one officer runs up and delivers a hefty kick. He stomps on the man as another cop runs up and delivers a kick.
Not only is the city liable for a humongous lawsuit payment for this victim, the police deserve nothing less than losing their jobs and doing serious jail time.
I was just thinking the same thing~~ He just won the New Jersey lottery big time.
Every cop there on the scene belongs in PRISON, 120 days in General Population should cure them of their moral bankruptcy and they just might learn a little respect for their fellow man.
Big lawsuit. He deserves a few million.
And a bunch of cops got some splainin’ to do.....................
The beatings will continue until morale impr............
Lets just say “The beatings will continue, and leave it at that, shall we.
the police deserve nothing less than losing their jobs and doing serious jail time.

Agreed. However this usually translates into a promotion.
I concure.
THIS is the standard to which those police are expected to perform. and by golly, they are sure doing it.
I don’t think many including these so called police have adjusted to the idea that in this day and age of ubiquitous camera phones that anything you do out in public has a good chance of being recorded.
1. Force the question of whether they should retain official immunity or whether they should be held personally accountable. ( not much money in that course of action, perhaps).
2. Sue either both the officers personally if 1 above is upheld, or if not, then sue the city/county etc for as much as the jury will stand....
As long as the taxpayer is held accountable, this will not stop. Officers at every level of govt need to know that they are not immune in all cases, the tide needs to turn. Hold individuals responsible for their actions. I am certain bum rushing a burning man and stomping him whether he is a suspect or not is not within any LE policy.
“but yer ‘oner, he was armed, with fire!”
Is it my imagination or are all of these incidents in blue states with high socialism? We have some over eager officers in Texas, but I don’t recall this type of abuse here or in other very conservative states. Socialism always pits the citizens against the bureaucracy and criminals who appear to be in league to keep the citizens subdued.
It’s just like all of the racism accusations in very liberal colleges, while at conservative private colleges all of the students seem to get along with each other and the professors. I think they are even getting educated.
I sure wish they’d stop projecting their social ailments and constructs on the rest of us.
In the past this reckless human stain would’ve been killed for the danger he posed to others; now he’ll make millions. This is a couple of miles east of me; there was a victim at the crash site with severe burns that probably wishes the cop killed the perp. He’d caused a five-car accident earlier in the chase.
Subhuman animal; shame he survived.
When you know the details of the story you’ll probably be surprised the cops didn’t shoot him outright (they had been shooting at him earlier in the chase). This is Jersey City, not Newark; they have a chance, but that depends on culling the herd. Ask the burn victim from the chase finale if the cops overreacted...
(My posts make no sense if it turns out this isn’t the perp - they haven’t clarified that on news here yet.)
I’m still shocked that these videos exist . . . because it means the one doing the filming preferred that to saving the life of their fellow human being.
