A police officer in Ontario, Canada, brutally attacked a skate farm begging for help, all on video.
20-year-old Skyler Kent apparently ran a red light in front of the police, and they pulled him down. The skateboarder tried to escape and he was tackled by one of the cops, and this is where the video begins.
You hear Skyler repeatedly shout, “Get off me!” while being strangled in policeman. The officer begs Skyler to stop resisting, to which he responds … he does not resist.
The policeman orders Skyler to place his hands behind his back and then puts a taser on his head and warns, ‘Do you want it?
While bystanders plead with the policeman to stop hurting the skateboarder, the policeman shouts, “Roll on your stomach!” It looks like the officer slammed the taser against Skyler’s head. Another officer kills Skyler. The first cop then grabs Skyler’s hair and punches him in the sidewalk. This is just cruel.
Now get it … Skyler has been charged with causing a disturbance and assault for attempting to resist arrest.
The police chief said the policeman in question had been given a new assignment in anticipation of the outcome of an investigation, adding that the video was ‘worrying’.
Such an understatement, don’t you think?
