NYPD Cracks Man in Head with Baton (VIDEO)

[Mr. Jack Napier]

These pigs at it again....

BROOKLYN (PIX11) – Footage obtained exclusively by PIX11 News Friday shows a violent encounter between a New York City police officer and an alleged fare beater at a Brooklyn subway station.

It happened just before 8 p.m. Thursday at the Myrtle/Broadway station, which services the J and M lines. A commuter on his way home from work captured the alleged rough arrest, apparently sparked by the suspect’s attempt to jump the turnstile.

The video begins with an officer cracking Donovan Lawson, 20, of Brooklyn, in the head with a nightstick — a move that is against department policy.

The man who captured the encounter on camera said it began with the officer using pepper spray against Lawson. That act is not shown in the video but NYPD confirmed that the officer did use the spray against the suspect.

The video goes on to show Lawson bleeding from his forehead and disoriented, stumbling and leading the officer around the station, the pair intertwined.

In a statement to PIX11 News, the department said the video is under review by the Internal Affairs unit.

A source within the NYPD said Lawson has no prior arrests to his name. Lawson faces charges of fare beating, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and disrupting government administration in this case.

The 20-year-old was taken to a hospital as was the officer, who was treated for hand and wrist injuries, police said.

And it was a nikka too. c00n ass doing massa's work ass nikka. I remember when bros used to blow at the damn transit police out here. Crack a kid in the head for jumping the turnstile? I guarantee he wouldn't have done that to a white man but he'll feed off his own people over pocket change. I swear I hate cops, I dont care what color they are. fukk 'em

Its just dudes not having any experience in urban cities speaking out of turn on some "bu bu but a black officer will be more understanding of his people and blah blah blah". If you a cop, you a cop. Black, white, brown, yellow...doesn't matter.You'll find a decent one who is just doing his job or maybe even luck up and get a cool one but thats so rare, its not even worth mentioning and it damn sure won't have anything to do with both people being black. No matter what color they are, cops look better red.

I literally hate Black cops more than white ones. White cops do what's in their nature already, Black cops do what they do for a pat on the fukking head.

@The idea that more black cops will solve the problem of police misconduct towards Black people.

You know they would shoot that guy in a Chinese prison in china doing that...they don't take stealing lightly out there..a crack with a baton is nothing..people got it easy in America when other countries would fukk you up or even kill u

Ah the Myrtle/Broadway station....

Black cops been sellouts and uncle toms...that ain't new. What's worse is just because the person that got beat/shot/killed was black that they'll just receive a slap on the wrist or get rewarded for it.

Um, weren't some of you guys saying awhile back that we need to police our own communities.......soooooooooo how would we accomplish that without black police officers? I mean hey, we can keep the white guys, since they're you know, working out so well and all. And not the main ones shooting black males and beating up black females and all of that.
