400 Pound Man Beaten to Death by Cops in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI - A 400-pound black man died after being struck repeatedly by police wielding metal nightsticks, and the mayor said Monday a videotape showed that the officers were defending themselves. The cause of death was under investigation.

Black activists say the death Sunday of Nathaniel Jones, 41, was another example of brutality involving Cincinnati police. The fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer in April 2001 prompted three nights of rioting in the city. "How many of our people have to die before the city decides to do something about it?" said Nathaniel Livingston Jr. of the Coalition for a Just Cincinnati. The officers who were at the scene Sunday - five whites and one black - were placed on administrative leave, which is policy while investigators examine any police encounter that results in a death.

Here's the raw video footage if you enjoy watching a belligerent, fat bastard get the smackdown.

A preliminary drug report from Jones' autopsy revealed the presence of cocaine and phencyclidine, also known as "angel dust," according to Hamilton County Coroner Carl Parrott, Jr.
