Corrupt NYPD officers David Afanador and Tyraine Isaac appear in court in Brookly.
The two police officers pleaded not guilty to
assault charges on Wednesday in the brutal beating of a teenage
boy who never put up a fight. He was being questioned for marijuana possesion.
The boy was sucker punched and pistol whipped by cops all while surrendering with his hands in the air
The security video shows one of the officers(Isaac) hitting the teen with a roundhouse
punch. Seconds later — as the teen backs away, raises his hands and
leans against a wall — Afanador appears to hit him with his pistol. The
beating continues until the teen drops to the ground and is handcuffed.
Medical records showed that the beaten teen lost at least two teeth.
News of the excessive-force investigation surfaced last month amid an
uproar over the death of an unarmed man, Eric Garner, during another
videotaped arrest in July on Staten Island. The medical examiner ruled
that a banned chokehold used by one of the arresting officers
contributed to Garner's death.
Afanador, 33, faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of felony
assault. Isaac, 36, faces up to a year if convicted of misdemeanor
assault. Both have been suspended from the police force.
