Police In Ocean City, MD Under Fire After Violently Arresting 4 Young Black Men Over Vape Pen
Several police officers in Ocean City, Maryland are under fire after violently arresting and abusing 4 young Black men who were apparently smoking a vape pen on a boardwalk.
A video has gone viral showing several police officers brutally detain and arrest four young Black men. In one clip, it opens with four to five officers holding down one Black man. While being roughed up and told to stop resisting, the man screams out, “I’m not resisting. Just tell me what you’re arresting me for.” This then prompts one of the officers to knee the man at least five times, sending the crowd into an uproar.
Later in the clip and in a second one, a group of young men confront the other officers, leading to two more physical altercations between them and the police. One Black man is seen being pinned to the ground and another is then tased, falling instantly to the ground with four officers pinning him down to handcuff him. Details are still developing.
