Police brutality never seems to end. In a week already dominated by frustrations with the Michael Brown case and subsequent protests, we have video of another, separate act of police brutality. In a video posted to YouTube Tuesday we see things escalate quickly as a man is being questioned by the NYPD.

The man slowly lowers his arms from above his head and is immediately and violently pushed back into a storefront gate. Then he's tackled and pinned down by four officers. As if the situation wasn't brutal enough, one of the officers decides to lay a few punches into the man who couldn't possibly be a threat given, you know, the four grown-ass men with guns on top of him. Witnesses ask why he's being hit, but of course the police have no answers. They do have more punches, though. And eventually a nightstick.

The individual officers may not have answered why this needed to happen, but someone from the NYPD better.
