Copa America Celebration Ends in Police Brutality

July 24 2011 - Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. Hundreds of Uruguayans took to the streets in celebration of thier championship victory in Copa America at 5:00pm Eastern Time. What was supposed to be chants of pride and joy quickly turned into a scene of police brutality. Fifteen minutes into the celebration, an army of police from the 115th precinct bombarded the area to clear the streets using unneccessary force injuring inncocent people. The footage captures one man being repeatedly kicked and beaten with battons and nightsticks by several police officers while other officers held him face down. More officers realized people taking footage and tried to shield view of onlookers as well as knocking cameras and phones out of peoples hands. The chaos the police created forced people to run into local shops for safety. One bakery called the "Grand Uruguaya" has survaillence videos that captured a large group of police officers, who entered without any provocation and began flipping tables, kicking chairs and hitting people with nightsticks; ultimately ripping a Uruguayan flag adding insult to injury. Police brutality and abuse of authority is becoming a huge concern for us all.

So where does a guy get hit with a stick?

[CaseyJDiego]

@JCFXSI Do you have eyes?

[CaseyJDiego]

@JCFXSI You may want to watch the video a few times, maybe you want to gather your friends and family around, two eyes are better than one ;) and if STILL you don't see it drag the little ball to 37 seconds into the video and focus really hard on the computer screen. hope this answered your question, IF NOT- please view the videos on the side bar for different angels.

@dgunsnfun WATCH THE CELEBRATION VIDEOS IN MIAMI.... NYPD IS THE ONLY POLICE FORCE FUCKING PEOPLES LIBERTYS... BUNCH OF NAZI RETARDS

[dgunsnfun]

@DrLynch2009 LOL! Thanks for the laugh! They can have a parade/celebration in the street, but they have to get a permit just like EVERYONE ELSE that has a parade/celebration on a public street!  If they were not blocking the streets it wouldn't have been a problem, would it?

[DrLynch2009]
