In the first video, Marcella Pourmoghani had to be transported to a […]

Still recovering from the festive street party last year after Castro’s second and third “death”, Miami Cubans were a little more reserved Tuesday after Castro announced his “resignation”.
Nevertheless, the media circus was out in full force.
Where else, but Versailles.
Here is the video.

Is it just Youtube or are cops just more cruel today?
It seems like videos are popping up once a week showing downright sadistic and cruel law enforcement officials abusing, bullying and berating citizens.

Yes, I know. The Cuban exile who “assaulted” me is old enough to be my father.
But that is exactly why he should know better.
I later learned Jose “McCarthy” Perez is a security guard for Versailles, which means they could be liable for this guy’s actions.
