Police Brutality Caught on Tape
by mike Thursday, Oct. 07, 2004 at 1:47 PM

Here's some stills from video footage that caught Evanston police beating up a man pulled over for a traffic violation while other police watch.

Police Brutality Cau...

This shit happens every day, it just happened to get caught on video this time. When will people realize cops do whatever the fuck they want and lie about it afterwards (the cops in this case lied in court, stating that the victim, Sayyid Qadri, was "resisting" and "assaulted a police officer".

Meanwhile, the cops involved have yet to be convicted of anything.

Fuck police brutality and people who don't think it happens!

Cops Plead Not Guilty
by mike Monday, Oct. 11, 2004 at 4:26 PM

Chicago Sun-Times, September 22

Two Evanston cops caught on video inside a police station bathroom with a bloodied, handcuffed West Rogers Park man each pleaded not guilty Tuesday morning to criminal charges stemming from the March 10 incident.

Gus Horemis, 42, an Evanston cop for 12 years, is charged with battery, official misconduct and obstructing justice. Mike Yorty, 27, an officer for 18 months, is charged with official misconduct, obstructing justice and perjury.

Cook County State's Attorney Dick Devine announced the charges at a press conference at the Cook County Administration Building at 26th and California.

"The great majority of those officers in Chicago and suburban Cook County . . . work with courage and integrity, but when a police officer crosses the line, we must take action," said Devine, standing next to Evanston Police Chief Frank Kaminski.

Horemis stopped Sayyid Qadri, 22, on March 10 for a traffic violation near 200 Ridge Rd. in Evanston. Horemis handcuffed Qadri and took him to the police station.

Prosecutors say Horemis took a handcuffed Qadri into a bathroom. Yorty followed. At some point, Horemis slammed Qadri's head into a wall, prosecutors say. After leaving the bathroom, Horemis "shoved the injured and bleeding Qadri onto a bench," authorities said. Horemis also allegedly pushed and choked Qadri.

Video cameras caught portions of the incident. Prosecutors said Horemis and Yorty gave false statements to investigators.

Qadri, who is suing the city of Evanston and the two officers, received six stitches for a large cut above his left eye.

Both Horemis and Yorty declined to talk to a reporter as they left the Cook County Courthouse Tuesday. Moran released the men on their own recognizance.

Horemis' attorney said Qadri's injuries were the result of a "scuffle," but "it wasn't the result of any actions of the Evanston police."

Horemis and Yorty face as much as five years in prison if convicted.

Police Are Kool!
by Average Citizen Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2004 at 1:28 PM

Screw you! The police are kool!

Yeah, 1 in 10,000 cops is an idiot. Send them to jail and toss away the key.

But most police are very cool. They have to put up with so much crap from street thugs and just general dumb asses.

Stop crying for the thugs and support the police!

Police are no so cool
by Another Average Citizen Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2004 at 12:21 PM

Perhaps a majority of police are “cool,” but the percentage of un-cool cops is much higher than the last contributor suggests. My personal experience and witnessing of others’ misfortunes leads me to believe that there is a very high percentage of “thug-cops” in almost every jurisdiction. It takes a certain mentality to even want to be a cop—narrow minded, paranoid, authoritarian, might-makes-right, needs to prove manhood by carrying a gun, self justification, etc. It’s easy for that type to justify their crossing the line. Then they have to stick up for each other, don’t you know...but for those lousy video cameras...#%$@!!

"It takes a certain mentality to even want to be a cop—narrow minded, paranoid, authoritarian, might-makes-right, needs to prove manhood by carrying a gun, self justification, etc..."

Just curious, how many policemen and women do you actually know? And if anyone who wants to be a cop is somehow mentally unstable and has a little man / woman complex what do you suggest we do for a police force?

Answer to mking's questions
by Another Average Citizen Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004 at 5:34 AM

1. Get rid of them all...
2. Only hire those willing to actually try to solve crimes (robbery, murder, assault, etc), not harass the citizenry to raise money of local municipalities, so they can build fancy new city halls, courthouses, jails, and have the latest in citizen harassment equipment/technology... in short, hire only those who will truly “serve and protect” and not be revenue sources for municipalities, etc. (Obviously this will require psychological testing too.)
3. Get rid of their guns -- get rid of all hand guns...they are for one purpose only...the killing of other human beings. And whether it’s police or civilians pulling the triggers, it’s still murder! Get rid of them (hand guns) all...

Further Questions for A.A.C.
by mking Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004 at 1:59 PM
mking_usa@yahoo.com

How do you prupose to hire these 'perfect' cops? Like with any job it is a little hard to know how someone will perform until they are actually on the street. And isn't it a little naive to assume most cops don't attempt to solve crimes? When you live in a country like the U.S.A. that has the second amendment and people own guns the Keystone Cop, England, cops with only night sticks and handcuffs thing isn't going to fly.

Also, you never answered my original question. How many policemen and women do you actually know?

Statistic
by mike Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004 at 3:18 PM

Just wanted to interject a quick statistic from the Dept. of Justice.

Of people in federal prisons, only 3% of prisoners are there for aggravated assault, homocide, or kidnapping. This is contrary to the "law and order" image of prisons, suggesting they're all filled with murderers caught thanx to our trusty police.

Well over half the people are in for drug-related charges.
Many more (17% I think) are there for immigration violations.

In fact, over 85% of the crimes people were convicted of are poverty-related (drugs, immigration, possession of illegal weapon, theft, etc.).

This means that if the same people filling our prisons weren't born into poverty, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BECOME CRIMINALS.

The Justice Dept. also has all kinds of statistics of prisoners, from gender and race to age and nationality. They do NOT, however, have statistics regarding the CLASS of people in prison. This is because the figure is startling, and suggests crime is a product of poverty, not "bad people". If we only threw "bad people" in prison, there should be a relatively equal number of rich and poor in prison. I mean, if you're a "bad person", you'll be "bad" whether you're rich or poor, right?

My point is that police aren't spending their days arresting murderers, kidnappers, or people who committ agg. assault, they spend their days harrassing poor people for committing crimes of poverty.

This also means that the overwhelming majority of people who suffer from police brutality have not even committed a violent offense. In most cases (i.e. drugs), there isn't even a victim. In the case of one Illinois resident, his crime was "illegal left turn".

Most upper-middle class folk, and even many middle-class folk, really think police are generally nice, generous people. And, as far as their experience go, they might be right. If you haven't been designated as a "criminal", cops can be some of the nicest people you'll meet.

It's a different story, however, particularly for poor black men or anyone they suspect of being "criminal".

How can "nice people" do such horrible things? How can a cop be super friendly one second and violently profile and brutalize people the next second? There are two answers:

First, there do exist a number of "robo-cops" who abuse their authority. They generally get away with it (unless someone catches them on film), so there really isn't an incentive for them to stop.

Second, and more accurately, is their TRAINING. Police are trained in a way that endorses and encourages deception, violence, a "you against me" mentality, and fear.

In my opinion, there are two basic indictments for police and their activities.

First, the cop who follows the rules is still an oppressor if the rules he/she enforces are immoral/unjust. This is the "nazi" argument. In other words, many nazis did exactly what the laws and rules of Germany told them to do. This does not excuse them from enforcing atrocious laws

Second, the "bad-ass" cop. One of the things taught in police academy is to "always be in control", and this cop does it to an extreme, often going beyond the "rules" and committing blatant acts of racism, excessive force, and a bravado attitude.

Either way, cops spend their time locking up poor people, most of whom have never bothered a soul in their lives. They use verbal games to trick poor people who AREN'T familiar with their rights into giving up such rights through lying (cops are allowed to lie), coercion, and intimidation.

that's about $.001 of my 2 cents.

Mike, I just want to make sure I am understanding you correctly. If I am not, please correct me as you have in the past.

Are you saying people who go to prison for drug related crimes, immigration violations, possession of illegal weapons, and theft are not bad people?? I'm sorry, but I don't feel that arresting and sending a guy selling crack in front of a grade school to jail is picking on the poor. I don't feel sympathy for a guy who gets busted selling automatic weapons out of the trunk of his car to kids who in turn use those guns in some kind of crime. If our immigration departments would have done their jobs and made the proper arrests for immigration violations 9/11 may never have happened.

I will not blindly say everyone who commits one of these crimes I listed is a bad person, of course there are exceptions and abuses of the law, but on the flip side it isn't right to label all these crimes as a crime of poverty and somehow imply these crimes should go unpunished because of a persons financial hardships or impoverished upbringing.

Bad People
by mike Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004 at 11:32 PM

Mking -

I'm saying that if our laws punished bad people, there wouldn't be much of a class or race discrepency; i mean, "bad people" are bad regardless of whether they're rich or poor, right?

But, as I stated above, that's not the case. The fact that people in prison are almost entirely poor suggests that, had they been born NOT poor, they wouldn't have resorted to illegally selling drugs in the first place.

The tremendous discrepency suggests that crime doesn't come from "bad people", but is instead a product of poverty.

By the way, less than a fraction of people in prison for crack were not, as your "law and order" myth suggests, from pressuring or selling to grade school kids. It's from simple possession.

As a side-note, since you mentioned crack and i'm talking about class, have you noticed that when rich white people smoked coke in the 80's it was called "freebasing", and you sure didn't see cops patrolling corporations? When black people smoke coke, however, it's labeled "crack" and called an epidemic.

Also, weapons arrests from people "selling them from their trunk" are also less than a fraction. The overwhelming majority is from simple possession. And yes, owning an illegal gun is a symptom of poverty.

As far as using the gun in an armed robber, I again repeat that only 3% of prisoners are there for agg. assault, murder, or kidnapping. Also, you seem to be missing my point, which is that IF the armed robber would NOT have been born into poverty, they would NOT have robbed the bank. They would live "normal" lives, and wouldn't rob. This suggests that the robber isn't a "bad person", but a person produced by a bad environment.

Finally, and I can't stress this enough, the vast majority of people that cops arrest and harrass, on a daily basis, are victimless, non-violent crimes. White people commit white collar crimes every day that are extremely violent, from labor rights violations to tax evasion, but you don't see cops harrassing suits downtown, demanding to see "what's in the briefcase". No, out of the thousands of laws in this country, the police only seem to daily enforce the few that target poor people and poverty.

This may also be that poor people can't afford good lawyers, one more reason the entire justice system is pretty fucked. The rich get off 'cause they afford good attorneys, and the poor go to prison. Ask OJ.

I have to agree with Mike...
The original need for military and police type thugs was to protect the haves (who got their wealth off the backs of the rest of us) from the have-nots. It has always been so...there has to be a better way...share the wealth? Excuse me..., we live in the United States of Greed! Well, shut my mouth...roll me over...me play dead...

Unfortunately, I’ve know too many. And as friendly as they can at times seem, there is no doubt in my mind that all of them would have turned on me with the slightest pretext as a result of their vassalship to the wealthy interests that lord it over the rest of us.

As to the “perfect cops”... obviously, there’s no such thing. So you’ve answered your own question.

You’re supposition is correct, I would prefer anarchy to the current social structure.

by Praise Bob! Friday, Oct. 15, 2004 at 4:06 PM

But isn't that the point? The rich, by definition, are good, and the poor are bad. We celebrate success the way the Protestants celebrate salvation. Good works are worthless, since the affluent, by virtue of their affluence, are pre-destined to succeed, and the indigent are condemned to fail. This, after all, is the fundamental basis of our Protestant culture, and forms the ethical superstructure of a capitalist economy. The affluent and the indigent are the positive and negative poles of a socially stratified field of (re)production which compels the rest of us to compete against each other for the grace (greed) of God.

The Catholics, on the other hand, believe that good works, in addition to greed, er, grace, is equally essential to salvation. In other words, hard work and greed will eventually deliver us, or our descendants (who in turn deliver us), from the evils of poverty and lead us out of temptation, to eternal salvation. Usually this occurs two or three, or ten generations down the line, if at all, when our descendants assume the requisate modicum of affluence which allows us to enter the hallowed halls of a gated community of like-minded celestial souls.

Personally, I belong to the Church of the Sub-Genius. Our prophet, Bob Dobbs (praise Bob!) is a drilling equipment salesman from Oklahoma who believes that the motivating force of the universe is a rare substance called "slack". Those of us who provide an adequate supply of slack are fondly referred to as "slackers". If you send me a buck, I'll mail you a certificate that entitles you to two thousand units of slack, which you might deposit at the financial institution of your choice. $500 will entitle you to a million units of slack, and allows you to call me a "mega-slacker".

Thanks Mike and A.A.C. for taking the time to answer my questions and engage in a good dialog.

Mike, can we agree that regardless of a persons economic state when they commit a crime such as armed robbery they do deserve to be punished for that crime?

A.A.C., I do know a few cops (obviously). People I went to school with or spouses of friends and they are good people who do legit work and try to do good. On the flip side to show that I am not completely unfamiliar with the whole good cop / bad cop thing, I had a horrible experience with a police officer a few years ago. If it wasn't for another officer who was on the scene it really might have been ugly for me. However, I did not and do not let one bad experience jade my opinion of a whole profession.

MIssing the Point
by mike Friday, Oct. 15, 2004 at 5:43 PM

My argument is that you CAN'T seperate class considerations when thinking about crime and punishment. Frankly, I don't think you can seperate a shitload of other things, such as race or gender. Yes, if we lived in a country where everyone was raised in economically/socially equal conditions (i.e. what REAL equal opportunity would be), I'd probably agree that an armed robber, particuarly one who was violent, should be addressed in some way. But that world is a myth.

Although I'm not really comfortable making any kind of generalized statements. Without context, it's just philosophical masturbation, and only further disconnects you from the reality of the situation.

Sorry, Mike, if I am frustrating you. I'm sure it isn't the first time! I basically feel if you commit the crime you should be punished. If you are on welfare or make 75K a year you should be punished equally for the same crime. Just my opinion.

by Praise Bob! Saturday, Oct. 16, 2004 at 7:02 AM

The point is that we live in a capitalist culture, derived from the Protestant work ethic, which assumes that poverty is a crime. The liberals believe that the indigent are the victims of their indigence and ought to be educated or subsidized until they can be integrated into the mainstream of American affluence, and the conservatives believe that the indigent are themselves the criminals and ought to be imprisoned for their crimes and segregated from the social mainstream. Since segregation is universally regarded as wrong, the conservatives rely upon the prison system to maintain the social order required to operate a system of production and consumption which rewards the affluent and punishes the poor. The net result, in either case, is a system of socially-induced infantilism, a universe populated by supervisors and their subordinates, which elevates work to the status of a supreme ideal and reduces all of us to the (missionary) position of work objects who are judged according to our respective ability to put out (produce) for the gratification of those who employ us.

P- Pussy. I- Ignorant. G- Gang.
You hear all the time bout how police are trying to crack down on gang activity. . . Why's that? Cause other gangs are competion. Whats the reason street gangs feud? Competion for money. If pigs dont meet they quotas they recieve less funding which in turn means less raises and less pay for the pigs. Pigs know that gang activity will never cease so they hustle off that. just like being a pusher with a great conect, they makin money off what is provided for them. They stand up for one another allways. Being a Pig means you in they gang. they are no less a gang than the Lords ,Kings, GDs,Crips, or Bloods. They just the most pussy out of all of them. Pigs complain bout Internal Affairs, which I think is some funny shit because the IA jus do to them what they do to us except when the IA charge a corrupt member of the Bacon Squad, they charge against them is justified. Im tired of allways hearing people stand up for pigs sayin dumb shit like " They have to put up with street thugs and violence." Shut the Fuck up with that Shit! We gots to put up with that every day too. If they dont want to deal with that shit, they dont have to, they chose that job. That is what being a cop is about. You aint gonna apply for a job being a swim instructor if you cant swim, stupid fucks. they get paid to deal with the streets, but at the end of the day they go back home to the burbs. We have to deal with the street cause we live there, aint nobody choose to be here. If you live cozzy and dont want the risk of being killed, than dont be a cop, simple. But if you chose to be a pig than dont complain if you get shot or your familly members go missing and shit. That shit happens all the time to affiliated people, thats a risk you take in the business. Although I cant complain cause pigs jus taking advantage of that power like most people would, pigs jus people too. But, they shouldn't be given the opportunity like that, there should be stricter laws on how "officers" enforce the law. And instead of judging, people should be given the benefit of the doubt. Dont get me wrong, I dont hate all cops. There are some cops that really take pride in doing there job well which is protecting the public not using your badge to get ahead.
I've also heard cops refering to people as "The Bad Guys". Well, take this into consideration. . .
The story of the three little pigs. no pun intended.
The wolf blows through the lil pig's houses and takes them away rite? Comes up on they door steps knockin and shit.
We aint the ones coming into peoples houses and takin people away, Cops "The Wolf" are doin that shit. In the story the Wolf is the BAD GUY.
So suck dick and choke to you candy ass PIGS, ya'll day will come . . .

This is some bullshit
by Pretty Eyes Thursday, Nov. 02, 2006 at 8:36 AM

I can understand a simple taking him into the station, locking him up, giving a ticket or two. You know, the normal. But beating the hell out of him is an example of police brutality out there. We don't necessarily want to be anarchists but we are people, too. We should be treated with some respect in these situations & not like dirt. "Restraining" doesn't mean having their head slammed into a wall. It doesn't mean slamming a minor, or that ugly word "juvenile", onto the ground because he touched you with one finger. I don't know. We're all people & we should all be treated with at least a little respect & dignity.

Yeah there's a lota bitch cops out there, most of who are jus lookin to arrest needlessly, even people who havnt done anything. Why? cause they want to get their pay raise. So what should we do?Arent the cops jus lookin after emselves? Obviously. So what should happen? Change the system, The cops get paid for the more people they arrest. They should change it to where they get paid by the hour, or something. I hated cops for awhile now. But Ive realized like most people that we might need cops one day, so they all cant be bad. For people who talk good about the cops, they havnt seen some of the shit theyve done. So when a cop they talk good about now turns around to bite them in the ass, they'll figure out that most cops really are assholes.

Screw you! The police are kool!

Yeah, 1 in 10,000 cops is an idiot. Send them to jail and toss away the key.

But most police are very cool. They have to put up with so much crap from street thugs and just general dumb asses.

Stop crying for the thugs and support the police!

Police need to Chill
by Laura Tuesday, May. 08, 2007 at 11:00 AM

Police brutality is not necessary, shure they deal with crap, but we so does everyone else, and some police are cool, but those who abuse the law should be put away. Thats something that is not hapenning, the law should have no execeptions!!!!!! The Police who comit the crime should go to Jail or have a fine!!!!!!! STOP POLICE BRUTALITY!!!!!!!

If you think this can't happen to you because you are too white, or rich, or cool, or whatever, get over it. These cops, lots of them on steriods, are fucked up bullies with guns.

These guys are taught by the Feds that we are the enemy...if you talk about first or second amendment rights, or have a pocket constitution, or show any sign of knowing your rights YOU ARE FUCKED.

Don't give up your guns. Don't accept the mandatory ID.

I like how everyone here says "Fuck the police" or "I'm going to kill cops". No you won't. And you would NEVER say fuck the police directly to the cops. Face the facts, you're a fucking pussy and you would get your ass handed to you by a cop.

barbacari2@optonline.net 201-430-3852 FAX IS THE SAME 708 BLVD EAST (A6)

I CALLED THE POLICE THINKING THEY WERE GOING TO HELP THE SISUATION. THEY SENT THE SAME COP WHO INVESTAGATED ME ABOUT A LEAK THAT LEAKED INTO MY APARTMENT. HE WAS SHORT, CURT, NASTY AND ACTING AS THOUGH I WAS THE ROBBER. HERE I AM TRYING TO HELP MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR FEW WEEKS AGO AND I TOLD HIM HE HAD A LEAK THAT KEAKED INTO MY APARTMENT. THE DET. WHO INTERGRATED ME
KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AGAIN AND SAID THE SAME THING HE SAID ON THE PHONE. "WHO TOLD YOU TO CALL THE TWO UNLICENSE GUYS TO COME TO DAVES APARTMENT. THEN AFTER GIVING THEM MY ANSWER. THE OFFICER BROUGHT MY NAME INTO IT AND SO DID MY WITNESS WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHO TOLD YOU TO CALL THOSE TWO GUY WHO PRETENDED TO ONLY UNDERSTAND SPANISH. THE DET SAW THEM OUT SIDE BEFORE COMING TO MY APARTMENT (THEY WANT MY APARTMENT) AND TOLD THEM SOME BOGUS STORY. WHEN I HEARD DAVE BRING MY NAME INTO THIS INCIDENT AND TELL THE OFFICER HE THOUGH I CALL THEM, THATS WHEN I CAME OUT OF MY HOME AND TOLD DAVE RIGHT INFRONT OF THE OFFICER "DON'T BRING MY NAME INTO THIS. AND THEN THE OFFICER SAID WE HEARD FROM YOU GET BACK INTO YOU HOUSE BEFORE I PUT YOU UNDER ARREST. I TOLD HIM THIS IS MY HOME AND I CAN STAND IN THE HALLWAY IF I WANT AND THAT HE BROGHT MY NAME INTO IT SO I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND MY NAME. I ASKED HIM FOR HIS CARD AND BADGE NO# WHEN I PUT OUT MY LEFT HAND FOR THE CARD HE HANDCUFF ME AND THEY BOTH PUSHED ME INTO MY APARTMENT KNOWING THE I HAD 4 DOGS AND THAT ONE MIGHT NIP. THEY ALL TOOK OFF. YOU CANNOT MISS A BIG WHITE PIT/GOLDEN RETRIEVER. HE IS BIG I WOULD HAVE NOTICE HIM IF HE BIT HER AND WOULD HAVE HEARD HER SAY OOW! WHEN SHE BROUGHT ME DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION AND SHE WAS FILLING OUT HER BOGUS REPORT, SHE CLAIM THE DOG BIT HER. SHE WAS LAUGHING AND FILLING OUT THE REPORT WITH ONE OF HER BUDDIES. SHE LEFT AND FLAT FOOT CAME IN DET.J MEJIA AND HE SAID "DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY PARNER IS GOING NOW?" I SAID "NO WHERE" HE SAID TO THE HOSPITAL" I SAID THE DOG DIDN'T BIT HER YOU DID. HE SAID DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS WHEN YOU MISTAKINGLY HIT ME IN THE HEAD WITH YOUR ARM? I SAID "NO!" WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME? HE SAID THAT'S ASSAULTING A COP THAT ANOTHER CHARGE FOR YOU. THEN I SAID DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS AND HE LOOKED OVER AT ME BEHIND THE BARS. I SHOWED HIM MY 3 FINGER SALUTE. AND I SAID READ BETWEEN THE LINES. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO BEAT ME UP MORE.

STUPID ASS
WHEN THEY WERE TAKING ME TO THE COUNTY JAIL HE HAPPEN TO BE TALKING TO A COP THAT I USE TO CHANGE HIS DIAPERS. AND HE ALSO AT THE TIME HE WAS 16 HE BEGGED ME TO RIDE MY DODGE DAYTONA TURBO Z. HE WASN'T AT AGE YET. SO I FINALLY GAVE IN BECAUSE HE KEPT BOTHERING ME. I STAYED IN THE CAR AND HE WENT AROUND THE COURNER. SO THE MORON THAT ARRESTED ME WAS TALKING TO HIM AND I SAID TO THE DET. "DON'T YOU EVER LOOK AT ME INN WEEHAWKEN AGAIN. HE SAID IGGY SHE'S THREATENING ME LETS GO BACK WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE AND TELL THE JUDGE THAT THATS HARASSEMENT. HE NEVER DID IT. BECAUSE I NEVER SAID THAT I WOULD HURT HIM OR KILL HIM OR WHAT. I SAID TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

NOW I AM IN THE APPEALS FASE AND IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR A GOOD CIVIL LAWYER TO SUIE THE TOWNSHIP FOR ALLOWING HIM TO DO THIS TO ME, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT & THE POLICE INVOVLED

It makes me sick that no one has done anything to stand up to the pigs. The same thing happened to my best freind in La Grange Park. He had weed and they beat and tortured him for seven houres to make him give them info. Then when they finali sent him to cook they intententuly let him get raped while they watched. Fuck them they are the real criminals to worry about

fuck you
by mike Tuesday, Jul. 15, 2008 at 8:11 PM

First of all cops are cool as long as you dont do something illegal. then they have to do something about it. the suspect in these pictures is not some innocent man he was arrested on several other occcasions. he was mouthing off to the cops and acting like a real asshole. he went to the bathroom and fell. you say the cop hit him but have no way to prove it. to all the people who say these cops are bitchs one thing you should know is that the vetern officer in ex special forces. so you may want to rethink what you are saying because the green berets are the baddest fucking people on earth so fuck all of you who talk before you even know the whole story.
