Two New York City police officers have been suspended without pay after video surfaced of them punching a suspect who was handcuffed and lying on the ground.
The video, obtained by the New York Daily News, shows officers John Cicero and William Green repeatedly hitting Johnathan Baez in the head. Baez was one of eight men apprehended during an undercover drug sting gone awry in the Bronx on Jan. 5.
"This is not an isolated incident," Baez' lawyer, Jeffrey Emdin, said. "What sets this apart is that it was caught on tape."

Suspension without pay.
That's like.. what.. the first time in history a cop hasn't been given a paid vacation?
I recognize the crap that cops have to put up with, but man.. just get a grip people, there is no excuse for this behavior, ever. It's about time they get suspended without pay, that is seriously rare.

And the guy I was with, not a weak fellow or anything... but right on the spot he let loose... right on the cops hand while he was frisking him too (very surprised he didn't get a punch in the head actually)

And I am seriously wondering Why? I mean I just can't see what purpose that reaction would serve in nature... pissing yourself? Would that stop a carnivore from eating you maybe?
