This is my cousin Aaron. Yesterday, September 29th, 2012. my cousin was badly bruised up by the San Jose Police Department. Here’s where my uncle explained the story.
“Just got back from Good Samaritan Hospital to visit my 17year old nephew. I want to share how San Jose Police handles kids nowadays… so heres a short story… House party gets broken up, cops tell kids to go away, my nephews friend gets confronted by cop and so my nephew decides to approach friend to see whats going on. One cops says turn around and walk away. my nephew proceeds to walk away after being told. cop decides my nephew is not walking fast enough so threatens him to hurry up. when cop sees nephew taking his time. cop decides to trip my nephew and within 2 second hits the ground. at that point, 4-6cops decided to punch and kick him while on the ground… KICKED HIM SO HARD ON THE FACE AND HEAD that you will see an IMPRINT OF A SHOE on his face and on his head. after being kicked and punched they turned him on his back and instead of putting cuffs on him they decide to try to break his arm but instead they ended up dislocating it. during this beating my nephew is crying and screaming many things and telling one officer that his ankle is in pain and so what does that officer do? cop decides to twist that ankle and make it worse…now, heres the problem, his ankle hurts becuz it was broken not to long ago from a football injury. my nephew just got off crutches couple weeks ago after months of rehab on his ankle… nurses and doctors were so shocked once they were told what happen. and especially shocked of all the damages that was caused by the officers… nurses and doctors were all disgusted stating in there own words, this is “INHUMANE”! ….Bottom Line here is we all know theres two sides of a story - BUT, to cause this much punishment on a 17year old boy thats 5’8 and barely 175lbs is fu*****in ridiculous!!!! and especially by 4-6police officers that are supposedly trained for these types of incidents…”
