    Yesterday, the NYPD paralyzed a teenage boy from the neck down - severing his spine. The swear it was an accident and that the officer fell on top of him unintentionally. Yeah, really.http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/teen-paralyzed-falls-chase-brooklyn-article-1.4000779 …

        I want to thank you Shaun for the hard work you do. It must be hard reporting all of these injustices. It hurts the soul. But I thank you. To be a decent human being, I need to see this. Thank you.💜🌎

        how do you "fall" onto the suspect and sever his spine? pure speculation but it would probably be the officer had help "falling" on him multiple times.

        This reminds me of the officer in Miami (last month) that kicked a man in the face as he was NOT RESISTING on the ground in handcuffs.

        I’m sorry I can’t even imagine this happening. But I can imagine why people choose to run from cops who can’t help but fall on their victims necks or fill them full of bullets for holding a cell phone etc etc etc etc etc etc

        It’s almost impossible to fall on someone and sever their spine from the neck down. This is major bullshit.

        So are they are calling this an "officer involved falling"? The madness just doesn't stop.

        So you say the nypd is responsible. I say if the kid wasn’t breaking the law and running from the cops, he’s got nothing to worry about and has zero accidents or zero fall downs.

        I’ve noticed in prior police brutality videos how they always place the victim’s head up on the curb with their body in the street. No wonder his neck was snapped.

        I'm over it! @ShaunKing can you coordinate everyone from all these cases you bring to light, and have them bring a case before the International Court of Justice??? Not even kidding! 😐🙁

        Kind of like how Freddie Gray’s spine was mysteriously severed.
