Two law-enforcement officers in Ohio are being accused of police brutality after footage emerged of them tasering suspects during a domestic dispute call. One of the victims suffered a collapsed lung as a result of the incident. The video, captured on a bodycam, shows two officers responding to a domestic dispute in Cincinnati. The call was made by Angela Brown, who said her two sons – who are half-brothers – refused to get out of her house. The situation is initially somewhat calm. However, Brown can be heard saying: “Here they at – disrespecting me and everything,” referring to 24-year-old Richard Coleman and 25-year-old James Crawley. When Coleman gets up to speak to the officers and explain the situation, he is immediately met with a command to “sit down.” A small scuffle breaks out between the brothers when one jumps up in anger at the fact that the police were called. It doesn’t take long for one officer to point his taser at Crawley.
It escalates from there, and Crawley is tasered less than two minutes into the video. Coleman is also tasered at least four times soon afterwards. One brother pleads for the officer to listen to what he has to say. They refuse, and one shouts “Get on the ground…I’m gonna put you on the f**king ground!” A third officer eventually arrives at the scene, and the cops physically force both brothers to the ground. One officer can be seen pulling Crawley’s hair. “We’re not doing nothing!” one of the brothers shouts. Coleman suffered from a collapsed lung following the incident. He was recovering from back-fusion surgery at the time. Both brothers received their first criminal convictions as a result of the event. However, at no point in the video were they informed that they were under arrest, nor were they read their Miranda rights. This is particularly notable because Cincinnati Police Department policy states that tasers are only to be used on those who are “actively resisting arrest.”
The brothers were charged with resisting arrest and trespassing. Crawley faces an additional felony charge of assaulting a police officer, and could receive between two and eight years in prison and/or a fine of up to $20,000. The footage has prompted an extraordinary intervention by the Hamilton County prosecutor, who has instigated an external city investigation into the use of force, according to Cincinnati.com. An internal investigation by the department is also reportedly taking place. It’s not the first time that police in the US have come under fire for their heavy-handed use of tasers. RT spoke to Jordan Norris, who last year was repeatedly tasered by police after being detained on drug charges, despite being strapped to a chair and therefore not posing any threat.

Fucking punks!
Guarantee America's future would be better without them.
50% of the time, a taser works all the time.
“YOUR not listening!!
Great work officers! And I know this videos 3 years old but I hope these dudes learned something, are doing good in life.
Ow my hair
Mom called the cops because these fools refused to leave her house. Listen folks, cops don't show up magically in somebody's house. Someone summoned them. These fools did not cooperate and got arrested.
Even the TV is like "WTF dude!!"
how many volts on that taser?
Justified.
I'LL PUT YOU ON THE FUCKING GROUND
2:30 them thangs is ineffective lmfaoooo
Lmfao she just keeps repeating get out my house
Ahhh I see it’s two more of those “people who annoy you†😂 🤣
get a job and your own lives you bums
Lmao best part is when they scream like a girl
Brutality? Kiss my ass. They only gave them like 748 lawful order's/commands and they refused to listen every single time. Thing's go so much easier if you'd just cooperate with the police. Maybe you should try it sometime… Thing's would go so much smoother. But nah they love to cry Police Brutality it's like they're favorite hobby.
Those guys are no longer there
Is this how these people live their lives at a hundred miles a hour.
Shows aggression “we ain’t do nothingâ€
The police show too much restraint.
I would applied so much pain-compliance that those boys would still be screaming.
Seems a common theme, doing your own thing – not listening to commands – surprised when cops get pissed off.
Can there be a 3 command limit please? After telling someone 3 times and they don’t listen, the 4th time should be a come to Jesus moment. Fuk
Love it, fucking losers thought shit was sweet and got fucked up.
Yo is that static shock???
I think these guys just took over the house, you know living there, paying no rent aso
They just can't figure out how to shut the hell up and do exactly what the cops ask. These type people are an absolute menace to society. Get them off the streets.
Mama wanted them to get out her house, they didn't leave, they got forced to leave. It's almost like your actions have consequences…
"We've did natti"… Classic 😆
Sick of hearing I didn't do nothin what dumb ass little girl's. 🤪🤪ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Some ignorant ass kids police gotta come and beat they ass instead of they daddy.
Another example of all cultures not being the same or equal to others. It's hard forcing different cultures to live together in peace with each other, especially in a big city. Maybe if some cultures valued male role models more than they do, they'd get along better in societies that do.
It's hard being a 145 pound gangsta…
Cops probably love dreadlocks.
While they are getting tazer, grandma starts laying into them. "I told yall to get the fuck out my house!"
dude got tazed multiple times it's didn't faze him :O my guy the fuck shit you smokin
What the fuck is wrong with black people that they have to argue with everyone. You can't parlay with the police there is not bargaining. Also tasers don't work cops need cattle prods.
