chevysoldier Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I don't see that as a big deal too bad the officers are being charged. I have seen abuse and will call it when I see it but this doesn't seem like it rises to that description. He took a few whacks for being stupid and is able to walk away from it. I didn't look into the story deeper but wouldn't expect his injuries to be long lasting. The worst ass beating I ever took in my life was at the hands of the Cleveland Police Department at the old stadium, for far less than what this guy did and I was beat by more officers for a longer period of time. I was acting like a drunken idiot and needed to be put in my place. No one got into any trouble over it, they held me until I sobered up then sent me on my way bruised up, much more polite and I didn't consider trying to sue anyone over it.When was this? The bolded part is a sign of how the times have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Tony Boskovich, a lawyer for the boy's family, said: "Applying force, applying handcuffs, threatening the young man with things such as rape in prison, he acted like a cowboy. He lost it, he came in and he abused his authority."However, the officer's lawyer Terry Bowman said the boy's parents had not objected at the time.I agree with this. Although if it were me, I would have probably just shown up in uniform and scared him that way. No threats or handcuffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ohio Sheriffs Beat, Repeatedly Taser Diabetic ManThis video shows Hamilton County, Ohio sheriff's deputies beating and repeatedly tasering a 52-year-old diabetic suffering a low blood-sugar attack. A highway patrolman pulled the deputies off the man, but not before they dislocated his shoulder and elbow.John Harmon, an African-American small business owner in the mostly white Anderson Township, was driving home when his blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. He weaved into another lane and was spotted by a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy, who assumed Harmon was drunk. They smashed Harmon's window, cut him out of his seatbelt, threw him to the ground and tasered him repeatedly. A highway patrol trooper arrived and intervened, later reporting the incident to his commanders. Even after learning of Harmon's medical condition the deputies filed charges against him. After seeing the video above, which is mostly the sound of the incident with few visuals, the officers involved were suspended without pay for a short time and then reassigned to a different part of the county. Harmon is currently suing the sheriff's office and the deputies involved. [Cincinnati Enquirer via AutoBlog]Video in the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riders were stopped behind traffic at a red light when David Bisard, allegedly distracted while conducting a personal text conversation despite driving at high speed with sirens and lights on, plowed into them. Police initially bungled the investigation, failing to properly protect evidence and the blood test which revealed Bisard to be over twice the legal limit nearly two hours after the crash was ruled inadmissible.

RFM Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 This is good to see. I was so pissed that Indianapolis had brushed everything under the table that I even decided against going to the MotoGP. Laguna could have my money, Indianapolis wasn't going to get any.How are they going to proceed, seeing that the sobriety test was "incorrectly applied"?
