This is a mirror crack team here at Indisputable is just presenting a mirror, larger society. What that grin off your face, Mr. Officer. NYPD this time, brutally assaulting a man in a case of mistaken identity. There's a video of this one too. [00:00:22] Alright, cheating! Yes! [00:01:02] Yo! Give me your hand! Give me your hand! Get on the floor, oh [00:01:19] You ever try to roll over while someone's bending your arms back? And I saw what appeared to be from behind, picked up the scrotum, I did. This is, ugh, so gross. Difficult to watch, but must watch. We must watch it. Because this is what they're doing, so we can't un-see it. [00:01:39] We have to see it. According to the griot, inside a Brooklyn liquor store Tuesday, April 14th, a man who fit the description, according to officers, found himself being punched, kneed, dragged around the store by two officers bottles breaking. One wearing his NYPD issued vest [00:01:59] and badge, another in plain clothes. Seven minute video uploaded to social media, sees the man being kicked at one point as officers attempt to arrest him. According to the NYPD, the officers [00:02:15] were undercover following complaints from residents about drug sales in the area. After purchasing crack cocaine from the main suspect they were pursuing, the cops, according to a statement from an NYPD spokesperson, again, this is their version, were looking for the suspect's associate [00:02:35] who was wearing a white shirt and green shorts. I don't even know if I believe that. And I'm going say that right now, but there's a lot more details we'll get to them, but I'm not even sure I believe that because, you know, I don't know. It's New York, but how many people are wearing the green shorts? It's convenient, but it would be true. The man assaulted by [00:02:54] police wearing a white shirt and teal shorts with the shoes and hat to match. So if this is your perp, he got dressed up for criminality in an incredible, fashionable outfit. Could [00:03:10] happen. Despite having no connection to the dealer or the drug sale, he was charged with resisting arrest. You see what I mean about how they then, let's just kind of trump some things up to call it even. And received an appearance ticket. Both charges against him were dropped, [00:03:29] according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. Officers involved have been placed on modified duty. Their guns have been removed. How about their fists? and their feet. Yes, I've seen the video. I've been briefed on it. And this matter is under internal review by [00:03:47] our Internal Affairs Bureau, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, which is the other issue. Why are you investigating yourselves? We'll have more to say about it as that investigation unfolds. But I understand the community interest in it because it is an upsetting video. No, [00:04:06] Commissioner Tisch, it's not upsetting. I uh saw crime. What I saw there was it's criminal and disgusting. Upset is a toddler who doesn't get another lollipop. This was disgusting. And I think probably criminality there for sure. I just thank God that I'm alive. That's [00:04:28] all I can say. Timothy L. Brown, the man seen assaulted on video, told CBS News New York. I know there's a reason for everything and I know God's watching and I want justice. Incident quickly drew the attention of Mom Donnie, who shared a statement on X about the assault. [00:04:48] Thank you, Mayor. Who posted the violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Thank you. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident. New York City enjoys some of the [00:05:07] lowest crime rates in city history to start Mayor Zoran Mamdani's tenure. Following that statement, Detectives Endowment Association and Police Benevolent Association President [00:05:22] Patrick Henry released their own, slamming Mamdani for his quick judgment. We don't know why the mayor is bothering to call for an investigation when he has already rushed to condemn the NYPD members involved without knowing all the facts. As we have said before, the mayor's words matter. [00:05:43] He should not publicly prejudge any incident involving police officers, Henry said. Well, who prejudged who first? Maybe it was oh The one officer wearing the vest and the visible [00:06:03] badge and the other, we'll call him a jump out boy. That's what they call him. Undercover jump out boys. Suddenly you're minding own business and you're tackled and kicked, hunched, beat. He's very lucky to be alive, Mr. Brown. So who prejudged first? Do we, Elliot, always [00:06:23] have to know every stitch of it? It seems that the police want you to have every fact. including how someone grew up. My mom was an alcoholic type thing. And some people, you know, perhaps that explains a bit. They want every mitigating factor, every detail, everything, what they [00:06:42] had for breakfast. All of that must be known before we're allowed to make any observation. But the mayor said clearly make it a choice that perhaps all of his predecessors could not, did not make, saying, I know what I saw. It's not okay. He said we're gonna investigate, [00:07:00] but he said I know what I saw and it's not okay. Is that fair? Yeah, I don't think so. think the NYPD, I think doesn't want people publicly prejudging them cuz that's like their [00:07:15] whole thing. I think it's one of their, I think they are, it's one of their favorite hobbies basically and they've been hitting it out of the park for many, many years. And I think mom, Donnie going, hey, This is never okay is such a simple statement and the fact that they become so easily no pun intended triggered by it says something about I think their culture [00:07:33] like they're untouchable. Of course, like we need to wait for all the facts to come in, but we have no problem making a snap judgment that leads to the very situation we're in right now. And I also think that even if this wasn't a case of mistaken identity, even if they had the absolute like right guy right out of the gate, they knew it was him. that's [00:07:51] still excessive force. No one should be treated that way. You do not need to see someone kicked on the ground over and over again to eventually bring them to justice. And that seems to even not be the case. So it makes it extra wrong. But the blanket statement of like this should never happen uh is a true statement. I don't know why it's so controversial for the police [00:08:10] and difficult for them to wrap their heads around. I love what you said. It was such a simple, maybe I'm giving mom Donnie too much credit. Okay. Because it's actually simple. We all saw it. Okay. The police mouthpiece wants us to pretend we didn't see what we saw. Okay. [00:08:31] But we all saw it. Okay. And listen, it's got to be dealt with here. And to make matters worse, it's very difficult to give you even the benefit of the doubt when we've seen this over and over again. It's like on loop on repeat. But then you actually You charge the guy with [00:08:49] resisting arrest as he's trying to protect himself. I didn't know he was just, it's instinct. Somebody's beaten the you know what out of you. The instinct is protect my head. I told you what I think I saw from behind. ah It's just thank you to whoever took that video. You're traumatized [00:09:08] till you have to be. I am just watching. There's nothing to play around with.
