Brickbat: We're Here To Help

New York City Police Officer Christian Zapata has been charged with misdemeanor assault. Zapata was one of several officers who responded to a call about a teen in crisis at a Harlem apartment. When the boyfriend of the teen's mother tried to check on him, Zapata warned that he was interfering with emergency medical services and would be arrested. Body camera footage showed another officer moving the man down a hallway. The man swatted that officer's hand away but complied with his commands. But Zapata jumped in and punched the man 13 times.

If he’d only stopped at 12 he’d have been ok.

He must have forgotten to yell, "STOP RESISTING!"

Hmmm. Not sure what to think. What is everyone's skin color?

Zapata? Harlem? New York Cop? What do you think?

[Longtobefree]

Exactly 13 punches, A different officer swatted once, Moved down a hallway, not up a hallway; pretty sure that has never happened before, QI for sure.

You have to wonder if the victim is one smart cookie who reads the papers and baited a stupid cop over and over about wearing masks and took a beat down for a payday.

Careful now. A narrative like that might get you labeled as pro-cop. Even if it intrinsically relies on the police to be relatively stupid and predisposed to violence.

13 an unlucky number of punches. A felon cannot be an NYPD officer.
