Cops Charged with Assaulting Crown Heights Teen
Two NYPD officers have been charged with assaulting a 16-year-old boy during a Crown Heights arrest in August. Street surveillance captured the incident, during which the officers are seen striking the teen, allegedly with a gun and their fists.
From Metro News:
Police Officers David Afanador, 33, and Tyrane Issac, 36, have both been suspended for 30 days without pay, and will return to the department on modified duty.
Afanador, who is charged with second-degree assault, a felony, criminal possession of a weapon and official misconduct, faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. Issac is charged with misdemeanor assault and official misconduct, and faces up to a year in prison if convicted.
An investigation found the officers were on patrol in an unmarked car around 2:20 a.m. on Aug. 29, when they saw Kahreem Tribble throw a bag of marijuana and run.
Issac chased Tribble, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, and when Tribble stopped and put his hands up, the video shows Issac striking him in the head. Afanador then apparently hit Tribble in the mouth with his gun, breaking his teeth, and Issac is seen punching the teen on the ground.

Well you know what they used to tell us when they hit us in Yeshiva: “If you didn’t nothing this time then it’s for what you did last time when we didn’t catch you.” I mean there might be an Afro American teen who doesn’t deserve to have his teeth broken, but they be few and far between
You're Sad!!
where is there hope if this is how you think.
Hey it’s like ” all jews are scammers and cheats”

We must look at the world around us and stop separating ourselves. Blacks, whites, brown, and yellow people are like flowers in Ha Shems garden. When HaShem made Adam and Eve, what color were they? Did HaShem make only white? or black or yellow? How did the differences come about. Who do we blame because one race is bad or good? HaShem made us all….or did the evil one create Blacks and all the other people we don’t care for in the world?
Let us talk less and pray more. Pray for your Shul, pray for our children, pray for the world. We must pray without ceasing.
amen Va Shalom
HaShem keep one and all.
