Philly Stop And Frisk Video Shows How Bad This Tactic Can Be

WATCH: Astounding Stop And Frisk Footage Emerges

As the controversy over stop-and-frisk heats up in New York, another battle is playing out in nearby Philadelphia.

A video posted to YouTube at the end of the last month- that attracted attention this weekend- reportedly shows a stop-and-frisk gone wrong.

In the video, two men appear to be stopped by two police officers after saying hello to another man on the street.

"You don't say hi to strangers," the first officer says. "Not in this neighborhood," says the second.

In the 16 minute video, which was reportedly taken on September 27th, the officers also curse, make fun of and threaten the two men.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, the Philadelphia Police Department is investigating the incident.
