A graphic video of police kicking and hitting bystanders in Hawaii has prompted authorities to reprimand the two officers involved.
Officer Vince Morre and Officer Nelson Tamayori have been placed on suspension without pay pending an internal investigation.
From the Huffington Post:
In graphic video captured on September 5 at a game room in Honolulu, Officer Vince Morre is shown walking in and almost immediately kicking a man who doesn’t appear to be talking to or threatening him.
The video, obtained by Hawaii News then shows Morre and officer Nelson Tamayori go into the back of the room.
When they return, after not finding the suspect they are looking for, Morre kicks and punches another bystander who doesn’t appear to be resisting.
Then Morre appears to kick the first man, identified as 25-year-old Jordan Topinio, so hard he falls out of his chair and then throws a stool at him.
The defense attorney for Topinio told the NY Daily News that the victim had to be hospitalized and sustained head injuries that required stitches.
Watch the disturbing video above.
