Cop Brutalizes Handcuffed Black Man Before Arresting Onlookers

We have not forgotten the execution-style death of Rob Adams at the hands of police in San Bernardino, CA! While his family is grieving the loss of the 23-yo, they also need help covering expenses for their loved one. If you can, please donate to help cover Rob’s funeral costs:

Has anyone seen all the breathless news coverage of the epidemic of NYPD officers arrested so far this year? No? Hmm? I wonder why there is so little coverage of the many cases below?

If the police can’t get their story straight two days after a tragic mass murder that’s drawn international news coverage, that should teach us to be more skeptical of official police reports in many other cases when the world isn’t watching.
