[existential guilt = Guilt by Your Mere Existence] After being searched for no apparent reason, Video Shows Latino Man Beaten by a Gang of NYPD Cops & Dragged to Cop Car

In the context of this White domination system there is no innocent Black or Latino male, just non-white male criminals who have not yet been detected, apprehended or convicted. From [HERE] Meet Santiago Hernandez, 23. He lives in the Bronx. On a Monday evening last month, he was standing in front of an apartment building at around 6 p.m. when two NYPD police officers appeared and demanded permission to frisk him. He complied. They found no contraband. Yet he soon found himself handcuffed and then pushed to the ground, where he was pummeled by six police officers. "They were taking turns like a gang,"

According to Hernandez, the police officers who initially searched him said they were responding to a noise complaint. "Although he was later charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, the Bronx DA declined to prosecute the case," the ABC news team reported. "And Hernandez was left with bruises from head to toe."

Hernandez was ostensibly searched in response to a noise complaint made during rush hour on a New York City street, so one wonders if it was the NYPD fabricating a reason [yes, racism] to frisk a young brown male, given its longtime Stop and Frisk policy.

When the search came up empty, he says he asked the officers why he had been searched. And with that, he says, one of the officers grabbed his arm and slapped on handcuffs.  "I'm like, 'Miss what you doing? You are hurting my arm,'" Hernandez said. The surveillance video is silent, but a cell phone video captured part of it. 

Hernandez was unarmed. The police officers knew that, having already searched him. A half-dozen armed cops nevertheless beat up this man who posed no apparent threat to their safety, all in order to successfully arrest him for the crime of... what? 

"She just was telling me to put my hands behind my back, but 'I'm like trying to understand what are you are arresting me for. Can you please tell me?'" Hernandez said. Moments later, half-a-dozen officers arrived and appeared to pile-on. Hernandez said he was punched, kicked, beaten with nightsticks, and blasted with pepper spray. 

"They was taking turns on me. One kicks me, he steps back. Another one comes to punch me and he steps back. And another one comes and grabs my arm and hits me like 10 times with the baton. Another one comes and pepper sprayed me, they were taking turns like a gang," Hernandez said. [MORE]

In any case, Hernandez had no weapons or drugs. He would never be charged with any crime related to what he was doing before police arrived. The search was unrelated to the stop and NYPD did not say they had a reasonable belief that he was armed. But if he truly consented to it, the search is valid. The cops seemed to create the disorder that led to his alleged lawbreaking—when he asked why he'd been searched, a cop slapped handcuffs on one of his wrist, so he asked why he was being arrested rather than immediately placing his other hand behind his back. Police initiated force and later charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

But why was he cuffed to begin with? [white supremacy/racism is carried by violence and/or deception.] 

[Act like you know. In a racist system, like this one, to the extent that you might be dealing with a racist cop or a Black Android cop (programmed in service of white domination) comply with their orders. Legal truths about your rights will be of no use to you in the present reality of a one on one street encounter with a racist cop. Your goal is to avoid death, injury and/or greater confinement in that moment. Deal with the reality of this unjust system & live to fight another day. Here, young Santiago could have complied with the cop's unConstitutional request to (detain) put his hands behind his back but he chose not to. White supremacy is carried out through violence and/or deception.] 

The ABC News segment starts out by referring to him as a suspect. Of what was he suspected? Videos don't always tell the whole story, but this one looks damning, and the NYPD has offered no explanation that would justify the initial arrest. They seemed to put an innocent person in a situation where his rights would inevitably be violated: Either Hernandez would be summarily arrested with no explanation of why, or he would attempt to get an explanation and be pummeled into submission for failing to submit to police officers quickly enough.

The video illustrates what can go wrong with the law enforcement attitude, "If you don't want to get hurt, don't challenge me." While laws against resisting arrest are legitimate, it is also legitimate for a [white] citizen having handcuffs slapped on his wrist for no apparent reason to say, "Um, excuse me, what did I do wrong?" Hernandez was still on parole stemming from an assault he committed at age 14, so you can see why he'd want to know the reason for any arrest. Withholding an arm while calmly asking why one is being arrested shouldn't be considered an excuse for police to beat on someone like he's violently resisting arrest.

This was not a tense situation.

Hernandez was unarmed. The police officers knew that, having already searched him. A half-dozen armed cops nevertheless beat up this man who posed no apparent threat to their safety, all in order to successfully arrest him for the crime of... what? If a simple request to provide some justification for their actions caused NYPD officers to become agitated and abusive, it wouldn't be the first time.
