Cop violently arrests and terrorizes a 15 year old Black quadruple amputee

Immanuel, the child whom the policeman abused, has been in state custody since he was abandoned by his parents, and lives in the group home.

A 16 year old teen who also lived in the group home, made a covert video-recording of the police violence from another room. He was also arrested by the sheriff's deputy.

The video shows the officer repeatedly tackling and pinning the shirtless Immanuel, who is visibly upset and in pain. The officer screams abuse at the child, and at other children present during his assault on Immanuel.

The video ends with the cop arresting the child who made the video recording (another child takes his phone and continues shooting); without warning, the cop takes the handcuffed child and smashes his head into a wall.

Both children were jailed for "disorderly conduct." The officer was not wearing a bodycam.

When the video surfaced, it reduced a room full of hardened public defenders to tears. After the video was aired, charges against the children were dropped.

As Immanuel's public defender noted, the children in the group home have already been traumatized and have been taken from their families to protect them from further trauma. Read the rest
