- NYPD Brutality: Christopher Hennelly 1 post by 1 author -Outlaw Frog Raper11/6/98

Favorites Christopher Hennelly Click on a groups star icon to add it to your favorites Christopher Hennelly, white, was allegedly beaten by police while taking part in an Act-UpSee footnote 23 demonstration in front of the Manhattan Midtown North precinct on 11 February 1991. The demonstration was to protest about the alleged ill-treatment of another Act-Up member by police from the same precinct the week before. Hennelly spent five days in hospital as a result of his treatment suffering from cerebral concussion, partial loss of hearing and blurred vision. He reportedly suffers from seizures as a result of the injuries. Hennelly was charged with assaulting the police and the case went to trial. However, the judge threw out the assault charges after seeing a video of the incident. In a 19-page judgment dismissing the case against Hennelly, the judge said that the video showed ... without provocation, the police charge into the crowd of demonstrators and that A police officer can clearly be seen turning the defendant around and then taking a two-handed swing with his club directly at the spot on the defendant's head where the defendant's arrest photograph shows a bruise. The judge added that ...at least one officer appears to be clubbing the defendant while he is on the ground. In 1994 the city agreed to settled a civil lawsuit brought by Hennelly for $350,00 just before the case was due to go to trial. Reposting and/or crossposting this article would help a great deal. The spam police have overstepped their purpose. This is not spam. They only wish to silence me. Thank you, - OFR -
