BOOSHA V'CHARPA. THESE "SHOTREEM" did not behave like NYPD officers. They behaved like Nazi Gestapo. They should be shown what the Nazi's did to the innocent Jews.

don't resist arrest
October 19, 2012 12:51 am

let me join my voice, there was no excessive force; don’t fight back and submit to the police… not sure why Ehud didn’t get that. And Ehud, next time wear Tzitzis and a Kippa!

Did you watch the door?
October 16, 2012 8:13 pm

Did anyone notice that while the police are beating him on the couch at about 1:20 to 1:33 someone actually walks in, sees he is being beaten, then walks out and closes the door! I find that lack of help when clearly someone is being beaten, more than a little disturbing…

150 - not surprising, but they will fall badly soon. They know it!

October 16, 2012 3:50 pm

are some of you insane????if someone comes into my home or hotel room and wakes me up and wants to arrest me I would resist bec I am an American citizen and I have rights when I was not the one starting this!!!!!

Just A Regular Joe Here
October 16, 2012 3:19 pm

Not really getting what all the outrage is about, it seems to me from watching the video that he did give the police some trouble. You don’t see him putting his hands down and agree to handcuffs. And we can’t hear the audio, so maybe they said to him that is under arrest and he was arguing. Where I come from, you don’t argue with the cops. Even if you have the biggest excuse in the world, you do what you are told and then you can discuss it later. He seemed to me from the video to be ready… Read more »

Revenge already/....
October 16, 2012 2:41 pm

This morning the cops were out in force, giving a crazy amount of tickets in front of beis rivkah to a bunch of cars, for just stopiing and letting a child out of the car. Just what I expected. of course they will get their revenge on us… what a sick thing this is.

Where is Al sharpton?????
October 16, 2012 2:28 pm

The victom color makes a difference
Where is Al Sharpton now? if this was a black man, he would arrange a demonstration against the entire NYPD.

this is funny but sad
October 16, 2012 1:52 pm

After all the years of the chjcc sucking up to the cops and this is what happens. How did it help u now?
Bunch of idiots.

is it true?
October 16, 2012 1:15 pm

I read somewhere in the news the he was sleeping without clothing in the womens section of aliyah and thats why they called the police.
if this is true why was it not mentioned?

THE LESSON:
October 16, 2012 1:12 pm

PROTEST AND MARCH! GET OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN NEIGHBORS TO JOIN US!

DON’T STAND BY YOUR BROTHER’S BLOOD!

AND HAVE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE WE STAY SAFE!

Agree with 129 - Disturbing comment 26
October 16, 2012 12:15 pm

Thank you COL for posting this video!!!! The truth must be told, to protect our own. We cannot hide these offenses under the rug any longer. The NYPD must be held accountable, and obviously the only way to get anyones attention is to make sure any incident such as this that has been recorded is publicized.

there is strengh in numbers

Keep to the professionalism?? You mean stick to denial? Well, no need to send anyone your mailing address. We know to find you in the bubble drifting westwards…good luck with wherever it takes you, hopefully none of your kids/family will find themselves in such a situation (the scum cops dont differentiate who they let loose on), I’d hate to think what you’d tell col then. KOL HAKAVOD COL for providing a forum here for ppl to (again) see the sickenibg reality of those ‘profecting’ our shchuna, keep it up until we bring them down.

October 16, 2012 6:39 am

Only a cop or defensive official of sorts could react so calculatedly to such an emotionally pulling, horrifying piece of footage. Save your words for when and where you really need defenses, hopefully not for yourself or your own.

October 16, 2012 1:36 am

weather ehud halevi had the right to be there or not or weather the cops had the right to ask him to leave or not that is another issue but if you look at the video from 1.06 till 1.20 he was resisting arrest from 1.06 till they finally started beating him at 1.20.if he would have listened to the officers & let the officers cuff him then this would would not have happened.from 1.06 till 1.20 if you can see how he is fighting with the officers there that,s what caused the officers to react like that.also 34 seconds… Read more »

October 15, 2012 11:01 pm

@130

The man was not fighting back when he was on the couch. Yes, he wrapped his arm around the cop THAT WAS ON TOP OF HIM.

TO me that seemed more like trying to protect himself. If you look closely, he quickly retracts it and wraps it around his head.

ימח שמם
October 15, 2012 10:58 pm

I hope this guy is ok and also hope he will win 100000000 law suit against this Jew hatters

HE WAS NOT FIGHTING BACK
October 15, 2012 10:58 pm

No. He was not fighting back. Fighting back is what they did. What he did was swinging his arms away from the cuffs. He didn’t want to be cuffed. A person has a right to know his crime before taken into custody. to me, it seemed like he didn’t get it.

Back to my point: He WASN’T FIGHTING BACK. Fighting back would be using his fists.

129
October 15, 2012 10:20 pm

@129
the man was fighting back the WHOLE time! you can see arms swinging and you can see him reach out and grab the cop again after they were on top of him!
were they using excessive force when they were merely sitting on top of him pinning him down? because you can see him come back fighting after the brief pause.
so yeah, i personally would never act violently like that to the police or anyone else for that matter and i would hope none of my children did the same!

127
October 15, 2012 9:52 pm

No, no excessive force at all…..unless it was you or your child huh? So you’re one of those….hope it doesn’t come to that for you to face and accept what’s really in front of you!

This needs to b sent to EVERY news station
October 15, 2012 9:49 pm

Let the NYPD morale be crushed, let their power-tripping-egos drop to their shaking knees, and let BLUMBERG step up (yes, get into heels if you darn well need!!) to the plate of real issues and responsibilities before the city is run by morally bankrupt and educationally bereft idiots. FURY is what this video should evoke in every viewer, and hate of the police force and this who ‘uphold’ it. Each man for his own. It’s true. But we should BANG DOWN the doors of BLUMBERG, etc, until something is done about this. Off on his sugar soda outcry (not bad,… Read more »

October 15, 2012 9:43 pm

have any of you WATCHED this?! it looks pretty clear from the position of the man’s arms and legs and from the actions the police were taking (i.e. struggling to maneuver his limbs) that he was not only resisting arrest initially but fighting them the whole time! sorry people, i wanted to be with you but i don’t see excessive force. at several points it even looks like they are basically trying to hold him down. plus, they didn’t even go in fighting. there was extended conversation (for those who say he was only trying to talk and prove his… Read more »

Not surprising, PIGS will be pigs. Down and dirty, dumb and scum.
October 15, 2012 9:41 pm

FAT, LAZY, HOLE-HEADED (donuts huh?) SCUM. There is nothing else to say about the NYPD in inner city areas, CH included. These PIGS are the only ones in this footage who actually BELONG on Rykers. Let’s see if anything will actually be DONE, and no, dismissal from the ‘force’ (touché…) is not enough! I hope Hikind doesn’t just talk on this one, and is willing to lose a few ‘friends’ in the NYPD to take this (repeated) issue to the TOP and such (repeatedly inaugurated) rotten scum Down, to the BOTTOM, where they belong!

Drunk kid
October 15, 2012 9:39 pm

Do we know what he’s said to the cops? Do we know if he punched the po when he was on top of him? Kid deserves a felony for fighting the police and resisting.

Doesn’t look to frum, harder to want to be a Jew now prob, going thru that. And the police better have been fired! -And imprisoned!- These police are worst than most criminals!

Its says he was held for hurting an officer.
October 15, 2012 6:59 pm

Which it said he didn’t do and showed.

wow this is really depressing
October 15, 2012 6:59 pm

you think we’ve made progress , and then this happens.
wow.

AT LEAST THE TRUTH IS KNOWN NOW
October 15, 2012 6:46 pm

Although it may not be a good idea to resist arrest, and i’m sorry for what this young man suffered, the hashgocho protis of his resistance has shown us what kind of brutality is around, which we would not have been able to prove without this happening. There is only OneTrue Judge who has everything on video. MOSHIACH NOW

thank you collive for posting this

I’m so mad right now after seeing this video!

Where is the statement from the Precinct?
October 15, 2012 5:38 pm

What does the 71st precinct have to say for themselves? Why have we not heard one word from them about this?
Are they going to do anything about it?

thats so sad

this guy clearly resisted arrest. the police officers were called by an aliya member and let in by the same aliya member. did the police officer punch the guy too many times? absolutely; this is a settlement out of court no doubt..on our tax dollars, thank you aliya for housing vagrants, which as it seems, has caused an inner conflict within your constituency, now we foot the bill. nice going!

pathetic
October 15, 2012 4:52 pm

look how hes using his self defense training.
he goes into the fighting stance before he starts swinging.
self defense my foot.
look how they use their training.

October 15, 2012 4:49 pm

I heard that it was a young guy from Crown Heights who called the cops. why whould he do that? why wasn’t he told that it was ok for the man to sleep there? it seems like its very not organized over there.

what happened to the young man?
October 15, 2012 4:42 pm

does anyone know? is he ok? was he seriously hurt?
there’s no information on that

not normal!
October 15, 2012 4:34 pm

why do they always act like they are above the law?

Thanks for posting

IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR US TO SEE HOW BRUTAL OUR OWN COPS ARE! STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY FOR YOUR OWN SAKE! THEY ARE ANIMALS! I HOPE HE SUES AND MAKES MILLIONS! RIKERS ISLAND FOR 4 DAYS HELP!!!!!!

I dont get it
October 15, 2012 3:40 pm

Something doesnt make sense. Did he have permission to be there or not. And if he did, then who called the police?
Who was in charge? Why didnt the person who called the police find out if he could be there or not?
Something doesnt add up here…

poor guy
October 15, 2012 3:39 pm

i think any cops that were there before the fight and after should be charged with something they are such sick people

101
October 15, 2012 3:29 pm

It’s always a bad idea to resist arrest. At worst he would have spent the night in jail. Instead he spent 4 in Riker’s Island and is now facing criminal charges. I’d say he made things infinitely worse for himself. I’m sorry he got beaten, but just because he’s Jewish doesn’t mean he didn’t do something incredibly stupid. Pretty much everyone knows that if you resist arrest it is possible that you’ll get the stuffing beat out of you. Also he’s not some kid. He’s 21 year old man and based on the video looks rather tall and well built.… Read more »

It’s an outrage!!
We cannot stand by and let our people be abused like this!

WHY ALL THE SURPRISE/SHOCK??
October 15, 2012 1:22 pm

The cops in Crown Heights are always cruel and vioelent. This is NOTHING NEW.Unfortunately thse kinds of incidents happen quite often and noone does anything. Allso they don’t have a video so you cant prove who was at fault .
Here there is a video so FINALLY there can be some justice.

October 15, 2012 1:13 pm

how crazy would you need to be to to give this cop a gun again

omg
October 15, 2012 1:04 pm

This looks like ww2 Nazi police men

wow, this video is shocking
October 15, 2012 1:04 pm

I cannot believe what I just saw. This is what the police do when noone is looking. I guess we always knew the truth but pretended not to. If the police department doesnt do something about these guys we should riot like the other communities.

Also, I agree. the fact that the officer had time to throw down the cuffs and put up his fists like it was a boxing ring while Halevi’s hands were down at his sides is proof this was more than subduing a resistant person. That officer was looking… Read more »

Lesson:
October 15, 2012 12:04 pm

Dont be an idiot and resist arrest. Police are often in tense situations where they never know how dangerous a person really is. The police were definitely overly agressive, but c’mon, the jewish guy was stupid by fighting with a police officer, and kinda deserves teh whooping that he got

some pal has a grudge, calls the cop, cop doesn't verify, beats senselessly!

October 15, 2012 11:15 am

Who was that first guy who was in there complaining and then walked out when they started beating him?

why is
October 15, 2012 11:06 am

thisnot posted on you tube etc. only way to make this viral is by sending the link to all you can.

there’s no excuse for a cop to swing fists. ever. that’s a fight. cops are to use their baton to subdue. and in this case the protocol is that they wait foir backup. there was no threat to either cop iof they waited. he had no weapon. there is some salt and pepper missing to the story as otehrspoint out, including what was said, but the initial fist swinging by the cop is inexcusable.

NICE QUESTIONS PEOPLE! WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS??
October 15, 2012 10:58 am

Who is going to give us answers?????

And the location’s guard opened the door twice, saw the violent, and closed the door. Is he still working there?????

The Police women dropped her stick on the floor, picked it up, and ran to hit the guy with it, many times.
Pure ego and pure violent!!!!

I hope that they will get punished for it by the Police.
They do not represent the USA Police well !!
Thank you Hashem for getting it all on camera!

We don't even know the full story!

If I were confronted with a shirtless long haired afro sporting male between 20-30 years old and I asked him politely to cooperate while we sort things out after getting a 911 call to respond to a violent intruder and then this man attacked me as I was cuffing him….if he attacked me….I would be tempted to subdue him to the point where he could not attack back again . Seems like the police officer felt threatened and subdued with energy a violent criminal?

You must be a really heartless person to say he deserved it. How the heck did this innocent guy deserve it? He stayed over the Youth Center with permission, the cops did not give him a chance to speak up rather they beat him like a batter. Even if you DO RESIST ARREST, you dont deserve such a brutal beating, The kid didnt even get to speak out that he had permission, they just beat the poor kid up. Whoever the heck you are, you are simply heartless to even say such a thing. Jew or not, I believe no… Read more »

If you care about this, share this video and make it go viral. Hold their feet to the fire.

There is NO EXCUSE for this unmitigated brutality. The police officers behaved like animals, totally unprofessional. Its seems that the officer needs a year in anger management.

It is frightening to think that these officers are roaming the streets, all armed. G-d have mercy.

The sleeping guy had full permission to sleep in aliya. its against protocol for a cop to assume tresspassing without a property owner or director making the claim of trespassing! in his rush to fight he skipped basic protocol!! within 15 seconds of these cops coming in they were already putting the the cuffs on, that is against police policy ,… Read more »

to do what the Policeman says…cuz if you don’t they want to show who is boss. I feel sorry for him, but when the police come, you have to be compliant. that’s the whole story.

he came for "ACTION" & he wont leave w/o some "ACTION"
October 15, 2012 9:05 am

October 15, 2012 8:49 am

" WHY ARE OUR LEADERS SILENT "
October 15, 2012 6:15 am

The deplorable silence by the lay and Rabbinic leadership of our community is an abonimation.Who is the Jewish person that brought the police in to deal with a possible worse case of tresspassing.Why did the officers attempt to handcuff the person instead of just asking him to leave the premises. The Nazi like bestiality portrayed by the officers is on par with the nefarious actions of the police in the Rodney King beatings, and without doubt less justified in this case. We do not have all the facts, and a statement from Aliya themselves would help us better to understand… Read more »

Talk for yourself. The inspector wasn’t there and can’t be accountable for every nutjob in his force. Maybe Ray Kelly should be fired? Or maybe it’s just impossible for NYPD to anticipate every wackjob on their force’s outbursts.

He deserved it
October 15, 2012 3:25 am

I’m sorry a Jew was hurt, but this guy certainly deserved it

If you think the police are not being fair to you, cooperate and later fight it I’m court. The past thing you want to do is resist arrest. And for that, this guy deserved the beating.

Questions that need answering
October 15, 2012 2:36 am

Who called the cops in the first place?
Has Aliyah released a statement?
Where were Aliyah directors when we needed them?
Did the guest have permission to sleep the night?
Time to prosecute to the fullest.

whats up with them?
October 15, 2012 2:28 am

why do these american police act so stupidly.
they don;t have a brain.

Am I missing somthing.
October 15, 2012 2:21 am

The guy was resisting arrest, and yes, fighting back. Thats what you get when u resist or fight back. It’s a bit excessive on the polices part, but I would be surprised if anyone was fired etc becouse of it.
Let this be a lesson to all: if for whatever reason, a police is arresting u, Dont be a smart alec, and don’t resist. It’s only making a bad situation a lot worse.

SICK
October 15, 2012 1:59 am

SICK SICK SICK AND SICK.

this cop is a thug
October 15, 2012 1:58 am

he is a thug that should be put in jail asap, the guy had full permission to sleep in aliya.

with in 15 seconds of these cops coming in they were already putting the the cuffs on, that is against police policy , they should have waited for a seargent to come and verify the facts.

resisting arrest???? B.S. how would you feel if you are a guest at someones home and you are awoken in middle of the night and told to get out and when you say that have right to be there they try and arrest you???

someone mossered on him
October 15, 2012 1:49 am

and he had permission to stay there. they should not cause this abusive attack on a non armed youngster.

BLOODY MURDER !!!
October 15, 2012 1:36 am

the cop(s) should be charged with attempted MURDER !!!

the community must protect the venerable. Especially against such vicious murderous blows.

well of course
October 15, 2012 1:31 am

The other 9 cops came later on purpose. They gave the first 2 and 3 cops time to beat up the guy and when they showed up they could say they didn’t see anything

PLEASE READ: THE POINT
October 15, 2012 1:15 am

Is not the victim had a right to be there, was sleeping, drunk or if he RESISTED ARREST.

The point is that once he is down, they just keep beating him up, pointlessly and mercilessly.

THAT IS THE POINT.

The answer:

DON’T STAND BY YOUR BROTHER’S BLOOD! PROTEST AND MARCH! GET OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN NEIGHBORS TO JOIN US!

AND HAVE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.

New York’s finnest must learn their place.

SICK.

This doesnt seem like you….
keep to the professionalism please

right or wrong
October 15, 2012 12:51 am

Resisting arrest is not cool and aside for the legal trouble can get a person killed.

The second cop say the words you are under arrest your next move is to comply period. I am only making this point so that others who see this video should understand how NOT to behave.

pig cops

I love the fat cop who runs in with his pants falling down and he has to hold onto his belt.

This story is going viral. Sadly the 1st site took the liberty to post the victims name without his permission.

Now that it is public B”H its going viral. And the cops won’t be able to hush this up.

I AM OUTRAGED>

This is not suitable – young kids click on any vids – i almost threw up watching that and i’m not a little kid. This is not the place for this video. You could have had the piece without the vid. Delete NOW

let us know if the 'guy' was compensated
October 15, 2012 12:31 am

those two police and the third that left should be ‘struck off’! so many for the poor defenseless person and yet… when it comes to ‘muggings’ and ‘murder’ there is no one to help!! HaShem Yishmor

something does not add up
October 15, 2012 12:22 am

How did the police even know he was there? If he had permission to stay there, what was the problem and who called the police??

ARE YOU WATCHING THE VIDEO?
October 15, 2012 12:21 am

This man NEVER RESISTED ARREST NOR DID HE LIFT A FINGER. The cops are supposed to RESTRAIN a person NOT BEAT HIM. Thank GD for the video. SUE the city and make them pay for the hoodlums they hire as the face of the law.

helloooooo att collive
October 15, 2012 12:19 am

this video should not be posted
kids look at collive without their parents over their heads…

police need a warrant to enter
October 15, 2012 12:13 am

who called the police and what right did they have to enter a private residence? completely over the line a complaint should be filed

All cops are low lives!!!
October 15, 2012 12:12 am

maybe in the good old days the cops were there to protect and cared about ppl etc. – today the average cop simply is not qualified for any job…

Really?
October 15, 2012 12:12 am

Of course this was excessive force (Reminiscent of our LAPD) but then you see there was no less than 12 cops that showed up. Maybe if they were worrying about the thieves and burglars and rapists like they should be……

do you know what would happen in williamsburg tomorrow ??????
October 15, 2012 12:09 am
Shocking!!
October 15, 2012 12:02 am

This is absolute police brutality.

Hope these cops are punished for their outburst
October 15, 2012 12:02 am
we miss Inspector simonneti
October 15, 2012 12:01 am

the cops hated inspector simonneti because he busted their chops and held them accountable and made them do their job, btw crime is up in the 71st pct. by 60 percent this month and only in the 71, we miss inspector simmoneti,

October 15, 2012 12:00 am

Anger, Anger, Anger. We need 2 be united with this case, that’s the only way that justice will happen.

I was nearly in tears couldn't watch

Yikes!
Help, I hope this footage helps convict these monsters! Uch!!!
Is he ok? Did he break any bones!?

hitler will be proud with this officer
October 14, 2012 11:55 pm
Not Normal!!!
October 14, 2012 11:52 pm

These cops should be fired because of the way they were reacting and non stop punching & hitting the guy i’m sure these cops were able to arrest him with out all the violence.

Thanks for posting this clip.

back up
October 14, 2012 11:52 pm

they should have called for back up at the begining not after they beat him up

OMG!
October 14, 2012 11:51 pm

Im sorry right or wrong does not allow this kind of treatment!
WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS!!!!!

OMG
October 14, 2012 11:45 pm

THE GUY LOOKS LKIKE HES DEAD AND THEY STILL BEAT HIM WHAT THE HECK!

Justice in Cameras
October 14, 2012 11:43 pm

This just shows why video cameras are so important.
Yes he did resist arrest, but any reasonable person can see from this video that the Police use unnecessary force.
It will be because of this video that those involved will be brought to justice.
Just another reason to install video cameras on your property.

doesnt seem right
October 14, 2012 11:42 pm

seems like theres more to the story
