olde_fashionedThis just makes me angry:
17 Year Old Disabled Boy Brutalized By 20 Cops For "Disrespect"
Yet another feather in the cap of police brutality. Why isn't this on national news? Why isn't there public outcry? Why aren't those responsible being thrown in the slammer and suspended without pay (or better yet, FIRED??)? Oh wait--cops get to do whatever the heck they want. This is America. I forgot.
The best part? They charged the kid with assault.
What is happening to this country? Forget rolling over; our Founding Fathers would be weeping and sobbing in their graves if they knew what we'd come to.
Better watch your mouths, peeps. Apparently any misconstrued utterance coming from your mouth overheard by a "peace officer" can get the crap beat out of you.

Date: 2011-07-03 10:05 pm (UTC)That's the worst bit--the man KNEW the boy, and KNEW he had a condition, and still went ahead with the beating. That, to me, indicates some form of personal dislike.
By all means, pass the word and post it!! Part of the reason i blogged it here was so that you could see it; I thought you'd want to know.
