Mother calls for justice for son allegedly brutally beaten up by police

A British mother has started a Twitter campaign to get justice and answers for what she believes is mistreatment and police brutality towards her 15-year-old son Terrell Decosta Jones-Burton.

She wrote that Terrell was on his way home from the shop with friends when police approached him claiming he was involved with a robbery, proceeding to beat him up. She writes that later the accusation turned to the robbery of a mobile phone.

People have begun to show their support on Twitter for Terrell, starting a #JUSTICEFORTERRELL hashtag and tweeting the Met police for answers.

Can u see the picture of him? LOOK AT HIM. The fact you’re justifying what the police have done is fucking sick. “Technically he deserved it “ well technically you’re a dickhead. #justiceforterrell https://t.co/9JgqattGua

@metpoliceuk are a group of disgusting entities!!! Do your officers feel that inferior that they’re unable to simply communicate with a teenager and have to use physical force? There’s no excuse for this. I hope this officer gets what he deserves #JUSTICEFORTERRELL
