RawStory: A plainclothes New York Police Department
officer is being investigated by Internal Affairs after a video in which he
rushes up and attacks a teen surfaced, the Daily News reports.
In the video, three uniformed officers can be
seen subduing the suspect while another uniformed officer supervises when a
plainclothes officer in a camouflage jacket rushes toward the suspect and
begins to punch him, repeatedly, in the stomach.
“Stop it,” yelled bystander Sarah Doneghy, who
recorded the arrest and uploaded the video to YouTube.
“He’s 12!” shouts another bystander. “Why would
you just do that? After everything that’s happened! I’m a lawyer — I’m writing
all this down.”
“Like he would come up from behind like it on a
blonde-haired, blue-eyed kid,” she continued. “That’s acceptable to you,
because he’s an animal? That’s acceptable to you? There’s no way you’d treat a
white kid like that.”
Police said that the two teens were accused of
assaulting a man with a cane.
“What did I do?” one of the teens asked as he was
being placed in a car. “Can I hear what I did? Can you say what I did?”
