I have seen the cop who kicks him before, the cops hate black people here,
ive been arrested before and they let me go as they beat the only black guy with us.

Brutal St. Paul Police. Notice how they protect each other while committing brutality. I can only assume this is just one incident of many that was caught on camera. I'm glad the camera person wasn't maced as well and charged with a felony. Mpls police are known for this.

He will probably sue the city of St. Paul and win $$$. The taxpayers will have to pay.

Just look at Mpls police payouts. It's like winning the lottery and all funded by the taxpayers due to police brutality.

I use to live in Saint Paul. I was just hearing about those black hawks flying around in Mnpls. Use to live a couple mins away from Micky's Diner down by 9th and St.Peters years ago.

They got to start being sneaky as pretty soon they will start knocking the snot out of you for recording video, smash your phone. May not even have to do anything but be standing there watching and get zapped. St. Paul use to be the mellow side of the river.

WOW What the hell was going on in 2007???? Be interesting how that compares to wages they paid out in salaries. wonder if this includes all legal representation and court fee's besides the increase in insurance payments.

Man who shot arrest video tells his story

http://www.kare11.com/news/article/98891...-his-story

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The video that launched a St. Paul police investigation was shot by an auto mechanics student named Lord Stitts.

Stitts says he was walking with his best friend Eric Hightower Tuesday evening when a police car drove across the grass through Lewis Park. "That's when he pulled up, jumped out with his Mace in his hand and just walked up Macing."

Stitts says he grabbed his phone and started recording, as Hightower fell to the ground. "You see he's clearly choking on the mace, not resisting arrest or anything - kicked him in the face for no reason. Nobody can understand why he would do that."

Stitts points to a spot in the video where the arresting officer appears to punch the handcuffed Hightower in the face, before two officers forcibly push Hightower's head into the hood of a squad car. "You catch that," says Stitts. "Slams him on the car."

Stitts says he's most puzzled by the officer's apparent demeanor after the kick. "Watch his face; he's laughing, smiling," he says, referring to the video. "I mean, it's crazy."

Stitts insists he's seen similar actions by St. Paul police officers in the past. "It goes around all the time, but it's real, real seldom that someone actually catches it on camera. "Video don't lie, he says. "I just want the world to see."

Stitts says he didn't try to conceal the fact that he was shooting video. In fact, he felt at one point that the officer was looking right at him. He didn't wait around to ask questions after Hightower was taken away in a police car, deciding it was best to leave the neighborhood.

Stitts abruptly ended the interview when a St. Paul police car drove past. "I'm done. I don't want to do this no more," he said, citing fears of police retaliation. "I don't want no problems."

But his video is already speaking louder than his words.

That video person will need to watch his back because those mpls/St Paul police hold on to a grudge for years. Harassment is certain.

Indeed, but he did what was right, and that is rare here.
The police here do not do their job, its pathetic.
