A violent encounter between an officer and a teen boy at a New Jersey mall was caught on camera and the boy's family is demanding answers from the police department.
Officers swarmed the food court at the Newport Center Mall in Jersey City after a girl reported she had been threatened with a gun.
"They searched one group and cops asked if we were part of the group and I said no," Kilil said. "I got patted down my legs and then the other cop came out of nowhere. He didn't say anything to me. He didn't announce himself or anything. He just yoked me up and started punching without any word said to me."
"They tried to say I had it and pulled it out, but that never happened," Kilil said. "Before he punched on me he didn't know I had a knife till I was knocked out." "All you see is this officer like boom, boom, boom," Kilil's father Leon Blake said. "You all don't understand, to see my oldest son being abused by these cops."
