The child was not charged with marijuana possession. Just resisting arrest. He has a serious heart condition and this sort of brutal assault could have had fatal consequences. He is still suffering chest pain.

The family have asked that this video be shared in the hope that the police officer is fired and criminal charges are brought.

The "man" in the uniform, his superiors, all the way up the chain of command, the Mayor, and the Governor must ALL be held accountable for the inexcusable excessive violence perpetrated by the "criminal" in the black uniform, against a CHILD. This is CHILD ABUSE.
