A New York Police Department officer pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that he stomped on the head of a suspect in a videotaped arrest that occurred last summer less than a week after the high-profile in-custody death of Eric Garner.
An indictment charges Officer Joel Edouard with assault, attempted assault and official misconduct, all misdemeanors.

Video in the Edouard case shows officers struggling on the ground with a man they stopped on suspicion of drinking alcohol in public and possessing marijuana on July 23 in Brooklyn. The officer is seen in the footage briefly walking away from the struggle before returning and stomping on the man's head, even after the man was face down and being handcuffed, prosecutors said.

He wasn’t stomping, you see the suspect brain had stopped and the officer was simply applying the cranial version of CPR or Cerebellum Pituitary Resuscitation! It is a very new technique that is widely misunderstood by laymen.

I cant say what happened ftom what is clearly visible
“Suspicion” of drinking alcohol in public?
Oh the humanity. Definitely deserves a stomp down.
/s in case anyone thinks I am serious.
I’m sure the officer was in fear for his life.
He used his footwear as a weapon on a defenseless person. Should be a felony charge. Exactly what any one of us would be arrested on.
