Given the heavily weighted title of “Law Enforcement”, sworn
to providing protection for innocent civilians, armed and equipped with lethal
weapons; this is how all NYPD officials are let loose in the city. From flagrant racial
profiling to blatant disrespect of civil rights it has been made clear the
police have a different agenda.
Jabbar Campbell, who I have personally known to be a very
caring, intelligent, and non-violent individual was attacked by several officers in his own home.It was highly disconcerting news to hear that a fun night with friends had unfortunately resulted in a visit by cops who were intent on violating his rights both by damaging his property and using unwarranted excessive force.
"The incident happened around 3 AM Sunday January 13th. There was a gay underground party going on at my place. 1 patrol car pulled up curb side around 2:45 AM and ordered me to turn the music down. I kindly complied with their request and proceeded to my home to turn the music down. In a few moments, more cops showed up at my front door and tampered with my surveillance system. Shortly after that, I was attacked by those officers inside my own home. I've received 9 stitches on my lip, bumps and lumps all over my face , head neck and back. I plan on fighting back by promoting awareness on police brutality and letting my story be heard. My lawyers and I are planning a civil suit against the city of New York" -Campbell's Statement
Violent acts such as these are more then unnecessary and beyond unscrupulous. Let our freedoms be granted as humanity demands it. Let there be Justice.
