A 48-year-old Brooklyn grandmother had just taken a shower when the NYPD knocked on her door, and dragged her while she was topless from her apartment by about 12 cops. Police were responding to a domestic disturbance call at the building from another apartment, but thought it was for hers.
Watch to see video of the police brutality.

As an African American male who has been falsely accused on multiple occasions by police I can tell you EXACTLY what happens when I am in that situation.
1.) There are no negotiations. Once they decide that I’m guilty, they will dig, and dig.. for anything to justify their actions. Failing to find a legitimate offense results in the old standby of “You fit the description of a burglar that’s been seen in the neighborhood.”
2.) There is no “Let me call my attorney” nonsense. I needed to have an iron-clad, air-tight alibi that is readily accessible (that means within the officer’s arm reach – I know better than to reach for anything myself). It also helps to have plenty of witnesses present to motivate the officer to actually check the alibi. Whenever I get to call my attorney, it’s several hours too late.
3.) Because I’m an atheist I don’t pray, which means that I’m simply left hoping that the officers involved are in a good mood and are willing to keep the public humiliation to a minimum. Make no mistake, there will be humiliation involved. As well as fear. One of the lesser reasons I support the #Yesallwomen effort is because every encounter with the police puts me in their shoes.
I think “Future Robbie” will be another Tucker Carlson.
