San Jose Police Brutality and Racial Discrimination- Phuong Ho Beating

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT8z7B7qg7E


This video shows how a 20 years old student from San Jose state is beaten by Two officers. The student whose name is Phuong ho was handcuffed and on the floor while the two police men repeatedly hit him with a metal baton and also tazed him. He would yell for mercy and the police would continuously hit him. The police was called after Phuong had an argument with his roommate and threatened him with a knife. When the police arrived they asked him for his name and didn’t understand his accent so went into his room to search for an ID and Ho went after to see why they had gone into his room when he was later beaten up.  He suffered many injuries. This kind of aggression shouldn’t be allowed anywhere. It’s wrong when police officers take advantage of their power and beat up people for no real reason or before making sure they are going after the right person. Phuong was handcuff and beaten and couldn’t move because it was such a narrow hallway where he was at. We call the police to be protected and to stop violence and to make us feel safe. How can anyone feel safe after watching this video? These officers should be arrested for hurting someone that didn’t mean any harm to them. Policemen become police officers to protect and to make this world a better place. Few of the many dedicated police officers break their own law and hurt others because they think they could get away with it. If all police officers would do their job properly this world would be a better place.
