“Tuscaloosa police are investigating after a video has surfaced of a team of officers cursing, Tasing and using a nightstick on at least one student during an arrest at an apartment early today.

Police were reportedly called to 12th Avenue Place Apartments on Frank Thomas Avenue about 3 a.m. on a noise complaint. What happened next is unclear, but multiple videos taken from both inside and outside of the apartment are making their way across social media.

The video shows an officer talking to those inside the apartment at the front door, and those inside refused to exit the apartment. The students questioned whether they were being arrested or detained, and whether the officers were within their rights to search the apartment.”

1. I like the point that they made about the harm that it does for people to dismiss police abuse

when it happens to black people as if the rest of society (save for the oligarch class) isn't in danger of being on the receiving end of a beating/tasering/shooting from a cop who feels "disrespected."

3. much rarer occurance

in this end of american society, than in the 'minority' end. Feel sorry for the kids just having fun. Police abuse is out of control, if kids such as this can be attacked like this. Yet this abuse is common in the AA and minority community and has been experienced for a long time by multitudes.
