NY Daily News reports that David Afanador and Tyrane Isaac, two nine-year New York Police Department veteran officers from the 79th Precinct, are expected to be arraigned on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at Brooklyn Supreme Court, after being caught on tape beating a black 16-year-old suspect Kahreem Tribble.

According to multiple sources, the two policemen are expected to surrender and answer an indictment for official misconduct, police brutality and illegal use of power. NY Daily News also noted that the "unusual" indictment for illegal use of power during Tribble's arrest comes after a "barrage of recordings of apparent NYPD violence or misconduct came to light in recent months."

In the past several weeks, a grand jury has been hearing evidence against the policemen. While Isaac was charged with lesser indictments and placed on modified duty, Afanador -- who has been suspended during the ongoing investigation and was twice previously accused of similar crimes -- will be prosecuted on felony assault, weapon possession and misconduct charges.

"These police officers think they're above the law," said the victim's lawyer, Amy Rameau. "Nobody is above the law. His parents and I want to see them prosecuted to the full extent of the law."

According to an unnerving video obtained by DNAinfo from "On The Insied" New York that went public Oct. 7, the officers briefly chased Tribble, who was being apprehended for possessing 17 small bags of marijuana and disorderly conduct, on Oct. 29 via foot on a street somewhere between Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights areas. However, after the teen surrendered, Isaac flung a haymaker towards the teen's face and Afanador advanced on the boy, drawing his gun and pistol-whipping the teen over the face.

Tribble suffered broken teeth, swelling and mouth injuries.

At his arraignment, the teen pleaded guilty to a violation.

According to court records, law enforcement sources and the video, the encounter started in front of 1311 St. John's Place around 2:20 a.m. when three anti-crime officers spotted the 6-foot-2 teen peering into the window of parked mini-van, Huffington Post reports. When the two cops exited their car to approach the teen, Tribble allegedly tossed away a small black canvas bag and took off running.

"I can't believe that people we pay to protect us will treat our children this way," Keturah Tribble, the teen's 42-year-old mother, said. "I just want justice for my son."

Kenneth Thompson, a Brooklyn District Attorney, called the video "troubling," expressing that "if any police officer has crossed the line -- we have to hold him accountable."

However, Police Union President Patrick Lynch feels differently.

"Videotaped police actions lend themselves to a rush to judgment because they only capture the arrest and not the crime that led to the arrest," he said. "We believe once all the facts in this case are presented to a jury, the officers will be vindicated."

December, 2008 marks the last time NYPD officers were indicted for brutality, when Richard Kern and two others were arraigned for allegedly sodomizing Michael Mineo with a police baton in the Prospect Park subway station. However, all three officers were found not guilty and were cleared by a jury after a controversial trial.

"I expect more indictments to come out," said Rameau, who represents several other clients who have made misconduct allegations.

"Watching the tape was hard. You're upset, you're angry," Thomas Stephens, Tribble's father, a 42-year-old truck driver, said in an interview with the NY Post in October. "The tape speaks for itself. I want to see [justice done]."
