The Beating of Derryl Jenkins

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Derryl Jenkins, 43,  was cruising about 15 mph over the speed limit last February in North Minneapolis where he was pulled over by a single officer, Richard Walker.

Walker’s squad car was equipped with a dashboard camera which captured the brutality and violence that followed.

As seen on the video, Jenkins and Walker become involved in a scuffle.

Going simply by what the raw video shows, Jenkins simply stepped out of his car and it was Walker that made the initial attack and was clearly the aggressor from the beginning of the incident.

Although Jenkins had plenty of opportunity to resist and fight back, he seems more interested in defending himself from the irrational attack by the pig oppressor.

Walker is seen calling for backup (2:30) before he effectively subdues Jenkins by bringing him to the ground and sitting atop him while awaiting the responding pigs.

While Walker might have been acting like a total asshole, he was mostly acting to restrain Jenkins, the half dozen pigs that responded to his distress call reacted with the violence that the oppressive institution known as the Minneapolis Police regularly dish out to our citizens.

Transcripts obtained by Jenkins lawyer, Paul Edlund, showed that one of the responding pigs called this “a good fight”  ….

North Star Republic will attempt to find names and photos of these officers so we can expose them as enforcers of class oppression and brutal enemies of the people.

If you have any information concerning this incident or similar stories of police brutality, coercion,  or wanton violence  we want to hear from you.
