Charges were dropped against a 6-foot-6-inch bar bouncer seen on a viral video slapping a woman on the subway — and he now plans to sue New York City over the bad arrest, the man’s lawyer said Wednesday.

Jorge Pena was let go once prosecutors found he was acting in self-defense

Based on what I’ve seen on that video, I wouldn’t blame the police for locking everyone up. As I said before, that is a very common practice when you’re dealing with an incident like this. It’s not the job of the police to determine guilt or innocence on the scene. It’s their job to make arrests when evidence of a crime exists, and let a case run its course through the legal system.

Respect to Jorge Pena for being a hard working person and showing incredible restraint while being verbally and physically assaulted for no reason other than existing and having the misfortune of encountering ferals on his way home.

Thanks for explaining what an 8-ball jacket is, JH!

Never heard of the jacket before, but I don’t watch or listen to rap or hip-hop junk.

I have a lot of respect for Jorge Pena for his restraint dealing with that lady, and think he was rightfully released.

Less convinced he has a case against the police for locking him up in the first place. Until someone official could watch that video, it was a "he said/she said" situation, and apparently Pena did some damage. It was in self defense, but the cops had no reason to know that until they saw the video/got testimony from those not involved. (I'm sure the lady he slapped and all her pals gave a very different version of what happened than Pena did....)

On another note, your handle reminds me that it is long past time to show the kids Cat Ballou. I have been negligent in their education. Tsk!

I understand the guy did nothing, but they dropped the charges and released him when they sorted it all out. It’s been reported widely in the news. Not much more anyone can do, he wants a payday.

and this is why they can't have nice things....

and they wonder people don't want to live in their areas, why property values shrink when they move in, why these areas ultimately become wastelands....

Good Lord above. Simply incredible and repulsive. Last thing I heard on this video is, “is isn’t my fault”. Says it all. No sense of responsibility for anything, not even herself or themselves. I’m surprised no one pulled out a shotgun. Men nowhere to be seen or heard until the end. I guess they came out of hiding. This went on long enough for the police to show up. Maybe they were hiding like the men in the restaurant. Disgusting!!!

Her life was over the moment she assaulted a stranger. He showed restraint and let her live. Kudos for moderation of force under duress.

That is a Dale Jr. jacket, when he drove the #8 car. His grand pappy drove #8 as well.

My apologies. After watching the video for the sixth time, I finally understood what the young thug was saying. She did call it an 8-ball jacket.
