Well they did just vote in a Marxist Mayor.

Even if you can’t speak one word of English - you don’t run away when a cop is talking to you and you don’t fight a cop.

Even a mute and deaf chinaman knows this.

For Jaywalking? What in the world is wrong with these cops.

An 84yr old man, jaywalked...so freakin what! It has to escalate to drawing blood?

Good grief.

...Police were targeting jaywalkers in the area following the third pedestrian fatality this month around West 96th Street...

In order to save him they have to beat the sh!t out of him.

Kang Wong was strolling north on Broadway and crossing 96th Street at around 5 p.m., when an officer told him to halt because he had walked against the light.

Kang Wong immediately assumed the identity of his cousin, Sum Ting Wong.

damn cops

Now if he was a Muslim....

Mr Wong lawyer just said “kaching!”....

Obey.

——Mayor de Blasio’s spokesman, Phil Walzak, said Sunday, “We won’t sit by while lives are lost and families are torn apart. These latest crashes underscore the urgent need to make our streets safer, which is why we are moving decisively to enact ‘Vision Zero’.”-——

How Orwellian ....

Wish there was video of this event. A lot of things could be in play here, at least to the point of the old guy getting bloodied up.

It’s certainly possible the old timer wasn’t paying attention and was in risk of getting “Froggered” when the first officer intervened. Likewise, even if he didn’t speak English, the guy should have been aware enough to know when a cop starts writing you a ticket, you don’t wander off (makes me think the old guy might not be all there in the head anymore).

At the same time, unless Kang Wong is the great-grandson of Kwai Chang Kaine, I’m not seeing why you’d need multiple officers to restrain an 84 year old man, much less have a scuffle that leaves his neck covered in blood.

It will be interesting to see if any passersby recorded this on their phones or what not.

Does there exist even one cop there, who sees the irony in beating the crap out of someone who was jaywalking, because they want to somehow reduce the toll of jaywalking?

[txrefugee]

This is why in revolutions, police are killed first.

[man_in_tx]

Hey, this was obviously a case of “tough love.”

The cops were simply trying to beat some sense into the old man — and to do this, they first had to beat some of his brains out! /sarc

[varon]

If the cop had been a Boy Scout in his youth, he probably would have assisted the old man safely across the street. However, this cop, was raised and trained to serve and protect by playing Whack-a-Mole on a citizens head with his nightstick, instead. Gestapo tactics rule when a community no longer has an identity. Long live diversity where everyone is a stranger!!!

[bgill]

At least he didn’t have an old dog with him. No, he shouldn’t have resisted but then the cop should never have beat him. The cops should have been out arresting murderers, drug dealers and rapists rather than bothering jaywalkers. But, hey, the odds of going home safe tonight is much better accosting jaywalkers.

[Jeff Chandler]

An hour later they beat him up again.

[Fishing-guy]

The racial slurs on this post is unbelievable.
No class at all. LOL.

You should see it! Herman’s gettin’ a beatin’!
