Salters said NYPD officers showed up in the early morning looking for a domestic violence suspect who had been staying at the shelter.

He says the police didn't have a warrant so, according to an internal DHS report, he called a director of social services for the city, and put her on speaker phone.

"She said, in front of the sergeant and officers, 'No Jason, absolutely not. Do not let them in. They do not have a warrant?' I said 'No, ma'am.' 'Absolutely not, do not let them in,'" Salters said.

While what happened off camera is unclear, the video appears to show the officer opening the door, another rushing in, and the two of them then repeatedly punching him. Two other officers also entered the room when the door was opened, and eventually all four of them surrounded Salters as officers handcuffed him.

2. This is the result of decades of no accountability for the NYPD

No NYC Mayor has the guts to take them and their union on so they do anything that they want.
