A 16-yr-old African American boy was sexually assaulted by a police officer during a “stop and frisk” pat-down. The assault was committed with such violence that the youth’s testicles were literally ruptured.
Now, Darrin Manning of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania may never be able to father children, according to the doctors who performed surgery on his virtually destroyed testicles.
Darrin was a star basketball player with no criminal history to speak of. He was a straight-A student who never got into any sort of trouble. He was with his teammates heading to a game right after school when he encountered an officer who decided he was “suspicious” and needed to be subjected to local “stop and frisk” procedures.
All of the boys with Darrin had scarves covering the lower parts of their faces. But this was simply due to the extreme cold weather that had swept the region, with record-low temperatures that day.
Veronica Joyner, the Principal of the high school the teens attended, said that she herself had given the boys scarves to wear to keep warm in the freezing temperatures. Twenty minutes later, she was informed of Darrin’s “arrest.”
Darrin was put in handcuffs. When the officer began “frisking” him, he grabbed hold of Darrin’s genitals so hard, pulled and twisted, that the teen’s genitals literally tore off.
“I felt the officer reach and grab my butt. Then the officer grabbed my testicles and squeezed again and pulled down. And that’s when I heard something pop, like I felt it POP,” Manning said.
Keon Gerow, Pastor of Catalyst for Change Church, said “We want to have some questions answered and some accountability. We want the entire public to be aware, not only of the Darrin Manning situation, but the entire issue of police brutality.”
This story is without question one of the most severe cases of documented police abuses of power, brutality and sexual assault. Watch the video below and SPREAD THE WORD! There is no excuse for staying silent about this!

Police can be the worst
I was almost jumped by a female officer just because I gave her some attitude when she was lecturing me for no good reason.
UPDATE:
Quote:
In early January, Manning, a sophomore at Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School, was leaving the subway with a group of friends. They were heading to play at a high school basketball game when, street cameras show, police officers confronted the group. The specific reason for the stop has not yet been reported. During the encounter, however, Manning alleges that a female officer squeezed his genitals so hard it ruptured his testicle. He tells FOX 29 news:
“She patted me down again, and then I felt her reach, and she grabbed my butt. And then she grabbed and squeezed again and pulled down. And that’s when I heard something pop, like I felt it pop.”
Manning’s principal, Veronica Joyner had given hats and scarves to the group of teenagers 15 minutes before to ward off the January chill. She believes that Manning, who received emergency surgery on the night following his arrest, was sexually assaulted.
The police, according to FOX 29, say that Manning never complained of injuries during eight hours spent in custody. He still faces three misdemeanor charges: reckless endangerment of another person, simple assault, and resisting arrest.

It was a female officer
when will it end. This is infuriating, tbh. And here I was thinking that my city (New Orleans) had the worst police. I hope Darrin fully recovers and some kind of punishment is issued to this animal with a badge
