Video: NYPD Beats Man for Questioning Search
An officer in New York responded to a noise complaint in the Bronx last month stopped and searched Santiago Hernandez. Hernandez said that when he questioned the reason he was searched, he was arrested and then beaten by half a dozen officers with nightsticks. The charges against him were subsequently dropped and newly revealed video raises the question of whether the charges were ever legitimate. “She just was telling me to put my hands behind my back, but ‘I’m like trying to understand what are you are arresting me for. Can you please tell me?'” he told TV station ABC7. “I’m a person to ask questions. If I didn’t do nothing wrong, I’m trying to understand the reason, what they are thinking of me, or what was the reason at all to arrest me.”
