while the beating was unfolding he was walking up and then he's like they asked him for a search
and i didn't hear what he said clearly but their action was they were they was just pushing
him against the wall and hitting him they all approach to the young man is totally wrong this
video footage is purported to show the events which unfold along with the time and date it
happened it shows what appears to be policemen reportedly hitting someone in their vehicle at
points the person seems to have been either hitting back or trying to ward off the blues
at another point the person receiving the beating seemed to open the door of the police service
vehicle and appeared to be arguing with the cops when he was shoved back inside mr phipps says
he was the person in the vehicle and showed us the scars from the beating some residents looked
on while mr phipps was in the vehicle it's like there was an assault it was like about if i'm
not lying it was about seven of them just hired him like giving him a gangbang beaten in his face
and his hands using the door hits anyone's hands with the door it was it was abomination
to be honest mr phipps says when they took him to the elliston road police station in kingston
the policemen exited the vehicle leaving him inside all of them go and said on i whisper
whisper so i said time when i come back myself the problem no no no i mean if you're gonna wrap me up
what a problem and i got what what my day i'm gonna do nothing so i said time no i saw comes
my name on the other side of them we contacted a senior cop in the kingston eastern police
division about the incident and we're told that a police team from the specialized operations unit
arrested mr phipps on sunday for disorderly conduct assaulting the police and abusive language
did it appear as if he was resisting an arrest well i i don't know what he was under arrest for
why why would they arrest him for just walking up for us walking up the street why so i guess the
question is why were you arresting him not why was he resisting arrest mr phipps says he has reported
the matter to the harborview police and the police complaints authority kirkwright tv genius
