Marshawn Pitts - Student Assaulted by Chicago Police Officer

http://www.RealityUnKnown.com

Written By Carlos Miller

He was 15 years old. A special needs student. And his shirt wasn't tucked in.

For that, Marshawn Pitts was severely beaten by a police officer in a hallway of his school. And it was all caught on surveillance video. A suburban Dolton, Illinois police officer first shoved him against a wall.

Then when the scrawny teen tried to stand back up, the officer began pummeling him with his fists. That brawny officer then sat on top of the teen, shoving his face into the floor in what is called a "face-down take-down,"a controversial hold that is illegal in eight states because it has resulted in at least 20 deaths, according to this CBS news report. Pitts ended up with a broken nose, a swollen lip and cuts to his face.

All for an untucked shirt. But it was in bad taste for CBS to title their news report "a painful lesson" because it insinuates this teen deserved a beating, which he did not. The incident occurred in May 2009 at the Academy of Learning at Dolton, which is a school that specializes in special needs students.

Pitts has a learning disability stemming from a previous head injury. The name of the Dolton police officer, who works as a school resource officer, has not been published. I'm betting it is not the first time he's done that.

@icebergtm Apparently the person putting up this video (you?) needs attention and a lawsuit smack for alleging Chicago Police did this....Clearly this was Dolton and not Chicago. Edit the title dufus.

@MrTlacuachon Doesn't cost the cops a dime. The taxpayers cover the lawsuit settlements. Does that make you a happy taxpayer?

USA - One of the most corrupt countries on the planet. It's kinda funny how some people still consider america to be a civilized country. That train left a long time ago...
