Police brutality has become a hot topic in the media lately with the multitude of camera phone videos capturing police violating the rights of the very citizens they are hired to protect.

Recently, a video went viral of the NYPD arresting a black man named Eric Garner for allegedly selling single cigarettes illegally. Officers placed Eric in a deadly chokehold (which most believe was completey unnecessary), which resulted in him losing his life.

Director Spike Lee came across the video footage of Eric being assaulted by the NYPD and it was parallel to a scene directly from one of the classics he wrote and starred in, “Do The Right Thing.”

In the movie, Radio Raheem (who blasts Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” on his boombox throughout the film) is restrained by police in a deadly chokehold that ultimately takes his life. The same exact thing happened to Eric Garner last week.

So Spike made a clip showing the chiling similarities in the fatal chokehold used on Eric Garner and Radio Raheem.

Check out the clip below, but we must WARN you it is very disturbing:
