VILE COP TASES, TAUNTS AFRICAN IN U.S.

A video’s gone viral for all the wrong reasons - as the US proves incapable of immunising itself against the virus that is cop brutality against Africans in America.

In it, we see 24-year-old Alabama resident Micah Washington being tasered point blank and taunted by a foul-mouthed female police officer during an arrest. Washington is compliant, but all the same she inflicts enough pain on him to reduce him to tears.

His girlfriend says he was just changing a burst tyre - though he was booked with drugs and weapons charges, as well as for resisting arrest. Dana Elmore, the officer in the video, was put on leave - but only after it was widely shared and condemned.
