Police Brutality In The Bronx – Yet Again

image

It seems that the NYPD in the Bronx continue to forget CPR: Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect.  But how if it’s been on squad cars for years now? 
Jorge Cartagena, Jr. was brutally assaulted, for lack of a better word, by two NYPD officers and spent over 24 hours in custody for riding a bike on a sidewalk. 
This is disgusting and a clear excessive use of force.  To add insult to injury, the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau has cleared the officers of any wrongdoing.  Check out the video if you haven’t already done so and YOU be the judge.
