East Germantown, PA — Multiple Philadelphia cops are under investigation after a video surfaced this week that shows at least a dozen of them waylaying a man lying facedown in the street.
Tyree Carroll, 22, was stopped in April by three Philly Cops. According to his family, Carroll was riding down the street on his bicycle the wrong way, and this prompted the police to stop him. His family also said that at a preliminary hearing one of the officers testified that he stopped Carroll because he just spoke with two men, and they suspected him of buying drugs.
The video picks up after Carroll was allegedly complying with officers to stop and get off of his bicycle. However, according to Jasmyne Cannick, an LA-based blogger, police quickly escalated the situation and Carroll found himself in a struggle with three armed attackers.

Will hold judgement on this as well. I dont know why the police were involved in the beginning .What I apparently do see is the person struggling against the police till the end. Even Rodney King admitted he should have been more compliant during the arrest.

I would struggle too if the only reason they had to stop me was they saw me talking to 2 guys, so they thought I was buying drugs.

That would be foolish. If you are in the right , dont press the issue.

No . I was actually locked up for about 2 hrs once upon a time due to a friend. I gave him a ride home .On the way we were pulled over and he dropped the drugs he had in my car. I went along with the police , my friend signed a sworn statement that I had not known , and I was free again with no record. Thats the way that should go...Now after that "false arrest" I felt I was open to say what I pleased...

The only difference between these cops and gang style beat downs…
The only difference between criminal assault and this "arrest"…
The only difference between standard operating procedure and now are the videos.

I don't know what happened before, couldn't see the guy that was getting beat so I'm not saying a thing about the actual beating. I just hope there won't be riots over this.
