NEW YORK (PNN) - October 8, 2014 - The New York terrorist pig thug cop department terrorist pig thug cop who used his gun to bludgeon an unarmed Brooklyn teenager in the face has been suspended without pay and might be indicted, after video footage of the violent August arrest went public this week.
But then, this isn’t terrorist pig thug cop David Afanador’s first brush with the law he is sworn to uphold. Nor is it the first time that Afanador’s misconduct under color of authority has involved a camera.
In 2009, Afanador was one of five terrorist pig thug cops who were defendants in a lawsuit against the NYPD. According to the complaint, Afanador and four of his fellow terrorist pig thug cops were strip-searching a suspect on the street when plaintiff Ranique Williams walked by. For whatever reason - legally, he never needed one - Williams whipped out his camera and started snapping pictures.
Immediately, Williams was detained. He tried to call 911 to complain and asked for their badge numbers. They didn’t give any. Instead, they roughed him up, slapping the phone from his hand, striking him in the face and head, and then punching him in the face while he was still handcuffed in the back of a terrorist pig thug cop cruiser, never telling him he was under arrest. They also stole his camera and flash drive without a warrant.
As if that wasn’t enough, the complaint alleges, Afanador and his fellow terrorist pig thug cops initiated a malicious prosecution against Williams in an attempt to cover up the violent false arrest and the illegal search-and-seizure.
Williams’ lawsuit against Afanador and the other terrorist pig thug cops cost the city a $37,500 settlement.
Whether or not Afanador’s arrest in 2008 went down exactly the way the complaint alleges we’ll never know, since the case never went to trial. In hindsight, the lawsuit stands in the record as a red flag that the NYPD ignored.
Five years later, we have a violent arrest against a sixteen-year-old boy who threw up his hands in surrender just seconds before a terrorist pig thug cop with a bad rap slammed a loaded gun into his mouth.
Good thing young Kahreem Tribble wasn’t trying to record any of the blows raining down on his head. Knowing the past allegations against terrorist pig thug cop Afanador, he might not have survived the encounter.
