A 41-year-old African American has died after being beaten to death by six police officers in Cincinnati Sunday. Videotape surfaced yesterday that showed police repeatedly clubbed the man with nightsticks. Police claimed they were trying to subdue the man, Nathaniel Jones, who weighed close to 350 pounds. The Mayor Charlie Luken, said the police were justified in using force because the manÂ’s size made his body a “deadly weapon” as he lunged toward the officers. The death comes three years after Cincinnati police killed a 29-year-old African-American in a death that brought national attention to the Cincinnati police who killed 17 African-American individuals between 1995 and 2001.
