This video captured more than 10 urban management officials, also known as “Chengguan” beating a husband and wife florist team in central China’s Jiangxi Province on Oct. 9.

The owners put out the flowers to clean the dust, while several officers passed by and requested that they be removed.

The two sides had an argument, which triggered the violence.

Local authorities have confirmed the clash and said that they will punish the officials involved in this issue.

It is not the first time that Chengguan have been mired in controversy surrounded their law enforcements methods.

10+ Jiangxi Chengguan Personnel Beat Up Flower Shop Couple

From QQ:
Scene of 10+ Jiangxi Chengguan Beating Up Flower Shop Couple

On the morning of October 9th, at a flower store in front of the Jinyi Hotel on Zhiyang Road of Jiangxi province Poyang county, the flower shop owner moved his fresh flowers outside to clean up inside. Then, when passing chengguan [city management personnel] wanted to confiscate/impound these fresh flowers and both sides came into conflict, over ten chengguan joined in on a group beating. A representative surnamed Li from the Poyang County City Management Department claims they shall discipline the attackers.

​

As it is understood, the video was recorded at 9:27am on 2014 October 9. The entire incident lasted approximately two minutes. The footage shows that at 9:27am, two uniformed individuals came out of a silver-white van marked as city management enforcement and walked directly to a storefront facing the street. Then, these two uniformed individuals came into conflict with a man wearing white and a scuffle broke out. At 9:27:36, another five to six uniformed men came out of the van, while a woman wearing a black top who went forward to stop the fight was beaten by several people in chengguan uniforms.

​

“Most of what the video circulating online captured was footage of them hitting my wife, while there is only a tiny bit of them hitting me. Even now, all that has happened is us going to the police station to give our testimony, with no one doing anything about it. One month earlier, they forcibly carried away over 20 pots of asparagus fern and then had me go reclaim them, but when I did, they said they no longer had them,” shared Zhang X, the man [husband] involved.

Videos of NYPD police brutality go viral

New videos have emerged showing New York police assaulting teenage marijuana suspects, putting the US police brutality under the spotlight again, Press TV reports.

A disturbing video, which has just surfaced, shows a plainclothes police officer knocking unconscious a 17-year-old black teenager on suspicion of smoking marijuana in New York, Press TV correspondent Susan Modaress reports from the city.

The suspect is seen lying on the curb, screaming in pain, insisting he was only smoking tobacco. The incident happened June.

In a separate incident, a second video obtained by DNAinfo.com shows a 16-year-old, also an African-American, being punched in the face and hit with a pistol after a brief chase back in August.

“Black people feel that it’s indiscriminate. It’s based solely upon their race; the fact that the criminal justice system refuses to make those who commit those acts – those human right violations – … accountable for that,” American attorney Roger Wareham told Press TV.

“They sense that black people are not going to get justice, [and they express] frustration with the way the system responds,” he added.

The NYPD is the largest police force in the United States and its conduct has been increasingly under question after a 43-year-old father of six with asthma died in a police chokehold.

Eric Garner was accused of illegally selling cigarettes and died on July 17. His encounter with the police was also caught on tape.

His family announced this week that they intended to sue the New York City and its police for $75 million.

The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is now considering a request to investigate whether the NYPD's “broken windows” crime-fighting strategy violates the civil rights of minorities in New York.

The so-called broken windows policing aggressively goes after very minor offenses — not merely misdemeanors but infractions like littering and sitting on stoops with the aim of bringing the overall rate of violent crime down as well.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio took office this year with a promise of police reform and to repair the distrust between the force and the public, many say now is when the Mayor should fulfill those promises.

Police brutality and the unnecessary use of heavy-handed tactics have become a major concern across the US in recent years.

US police shoot and kill an average of 1,000 people a year, one in every four of whom are unarmed, according to a report by the Police Policy Studies Council.

New case of St. Louis police brutality

By Estevan Hernandez
Oct 12, 2014

African American youth protest police killings.


​

Just two months after the brutal murder of Mike Brown, the St. Louis police have struck again. This time police killed 18-year-old Vonderrit Deondre Myers Jr. Although the police are trying hard to label the cops actions as justifiable, many people disagree. The mainstream media similarly reports that the killing of Myers is unlike that with Brown—again although many people disagree.

Many corporate media sources have taken a case-closed attitude. Regarding the commonalities in the killings of Myers and Brown, CNN staff wrote: “The similarities are slim. Yes, the teen was black. And the officer was white. Yes, the officer fired several times. But the commonalities end there. In this case, the 18-year-old was armed, and he fired on the officer first.” CNN is taking police statements as facts and ignoring many people in the community who claim Myers had no weapon.

In fact, both the mother and cousin of Myers have stated that Myers was unarmed. Syreeta Myers, the victim’s mother, corroborated statements from several other people that at the time of the shooting he was holding a sandwich not a gun. The mother said: “Police lie. They lied about Michael Brown too.” The owner of Regal Foods in St. Louis has come forward to say that indeed Myers had bought a sandwich in his store only 10 minutes before the shooting.

Cops give questionable statements

Many questions remain to be answered surrounding the shooting.

Why did the cop go after Myers in the first place? Regardless of the facts of the shooting, it seems clear that the cop profiled Myers. There was no call implicating Myers nor was Myers committing any crime. Nor have any reports said that Myers was acting suspiciously. It wasn’t until the cop did a U-turn and approached the group with Myers that the youth ran away. At a press conference outside of the police station, state senator Jamilah Nasheed joined many in the community and said, “This here was racial profiling turned deadly.” Myers would still be alive today if the white cop had not racially profiled him.

Why didn’t the cop use non-deadly force? This question is also being raised. As with many cases of police brutality, we see that the police are quick to resort to deadly force. In fact, some community members, including the victim’s family, have stated that Myers was first tasered. The police do not mention this in their statements. If he was tasered first, then we are left to wonder why this was not enough force and why the police are not discussing this reported aspect of the case.

Why did the cop shoot so many times (17 shots, in fact)? This number is more than twice what Mike Brown was shot. It seems that the cop was determined to kill Myers. It is also possible that the cops are trying to send a message to the people that they are not to be opposed.

Whole system is under question

In addition to an understandable skepticism toward the police, many people are questioning the whole system of policing. For example, it seems very strange that the cop was actually off duty when he killed Myers. Yet the cop is now on a paid administrative leave from the police force. The cop was actually on patrol for a private security company when he chased and killed Myers, yet he was wearing a police uniform. In fact, under Missouri law police are allowed to work for private security companies but use their police-issued uniform and gun.

The whole system of law enforcement is under question. With the mounting cases of police brutality, people are beginning to identify the issue as systemic. We see that cops are acting in a very predictable pattern: Cops beat or murder, the department calls the killing justifiable but promises an investigation, the DA declines to pursue a criminal trial of the cop despite huge pressure from the community, and so on. We should point out that this is the same system that has resisted indicting the murderer of Mike Brown despite overwhelming evidence.

It is no wonder then why people were skeptical and unimpressed when Police Chief Sam Dotson announced the launch of an internal criminal investigation. An internal investigation is biased for the police. An internal investigation only means that the police will investigate the police. But how can we trust the police to conduct a fair investigation when they have proved time and time again to be corrupt, trigger-happy racists? The only way to eventually stop this war against youth of color is to completely change the system altogether. This is the conclusion that people are increasingly coming to and organizing to undertake.

The people are understandably angry. They will no longer sit by as cops take away our loved ones. The incident comes only days before a national mobilization against police brutality descended upon Ferguson, Mo. These protests not only demanded justice for Mike Brown but justice for Vonderrit Deondre Myers Jr., and for a complete change in the system.
