Video Shows Man Punching Self in Eyeballs, Despite Claims Police Brutalized Him

A California man recently claimed he was brutally beaten up by the police, but probably shouldn’t have walked in front of a security camera punching himself in the face if he wanted to be taken seriously.

Aleksander Robin Tomas­zewski, who was initially in jail on charges including stalking and first-degree sexual abuse, initially told Oregon police that he’d been beaten by two detectives during his interrogation. According to the Register-Guard, the police took it seriously enough to review security footage from the entire facility. “The only assault captured on camera was in the holding cell where Tomaszewski was seen hitting himself,” they reported.

Tina Nguyen, Jan. 6, 2015, Mediaite

“You have to do it from the inside out. I’m going to see if I can make a difference there.”

Though the Republicans elected a handful of African-Americans to Congress in the 2014 midterms — an historic event, considering the previous makeup of the Republican party — they declined to join the caucus along with Love. The last Republican member of the caucus was Rep. Allen West (R-FL), who lost his seat in 2012.

Michael Brown Shooting:  Eyewitness Tweets ‘I Just Saw Someone Die’

By Tina Nguyen, Aug. 15, 2014, Mediaite.com

In the wake of the sketchy timeline given by the Ferguson Police Department concerning the death of Michael Brown, a Rolling Stone reporter discovered the Twitter feed of a young man who appears to have live-tweeted the aftermath of Brown’s shooting.

“I JUST SAW SOMEONE DIE OMG,” tweeted @TheePharoah, soon tweeting an image of Brown’s body lying in the street.

He also noted that one of the policemen had an AR-15, and that Brown was shot seven times — twice in the back, and five times after he’d turned around to face the police. “The first two was clear, then it was a barage[sic] of them,” he added.

The time, date, and locations all match up with details surrounding the incident.
