Florida man seriously injured and unable to speak after encounter with police, daughter says after her father was falsely accused of stealing a banana

Broken link so I found another one.

he picked up four bananas, one of which he ate on the way to the register, and that he told the cashier that he needed to pay for four bananas even though she scanned only three. Anjelica Lee said her father told her he was followed closely while he was shopping by a white female employee, who, she said, accused him of stealing the banana he ate.

Eight cars responded with six officers and two sergeants, a police spokesperson said.

“The police got out with their guns drawn, repeatedly saying, ‘Get out of the effin’ car,’” Anjelica Lee said. “My dad said to me: ‘Don’t get out of the car until they can fully see you, because they’re going to shoot.’ And after he said that, nine or 10 of them jumped on him, and then they slammed him on the car.”

“After that, I stepped out of the car, because the police were on the driver’s side,” she said. “They told me to shut the f--- up. Handcuffed me. Put me in the back of the car, and as they were driving me away, my dad was no longer on the sidewalk.”

She said that she could see him lying in the middle of the road and that several officers were on him. “And as they’re driving me away, the last thing I heard was my dad screaming: ‘Help, help. I can’t breathe. You’re hurting me,’”

Anjelica Lee said her father, who already had a pacemaker, sustained an acute kidney injury in the encounter and is undergoing dialysis. She also said he can barely talk and is disoriented and confused. “He’s waking up panicked,” she said. “He doesn’t know where he’s at. He can no longer feed himself. We have to do that for him. They’re saying that some of the injuries could be long-term.”

Black man ate a banana that he paid for. So obviously the police beat him into a life changing disability.

The link doesn't work so I couldn't read it but like...a fucking banana?

Man beaten by cops over minor issue. Looks up a picture. No suprise he's black.

Over one banana. What can one banana cost? Ten dollars?

That's HIS fault for EATING a BANANA Before paying for it!
