Following Mayor Matt Mahan's announcement to crack down on homelessness in San Jose, disturbing videos surfaced showing police officers violently confronting an elderly homeless man. The footage depicts excessive force as officers beat and verbally harass the man, leading to a formal complaint from the local NAACP. While police justified their actions by claiming the man posed a threat, the incident has sparked outrage and calls for an investigation into potential civil rights violations and excessive use of force against vulnerable populations.
"The NAACP San Jose/Silicon Valley President Sean Allen called for an investigation into the incident, emphasizing that the use of force may violate civil rights standards."
"Multiple videos capture disturbing moments as officers are seen beating and verbally taunting an elderly homeless man, with one officer throwing punches while others held him down."
