Here's what I understand: a man lies in an ER dying being questioned by the same guy that shot him 5 times. "get bent" means "get bent" - I'm not saying crap, leave me alone.

Again you misrepresent what happened. The officer who questioned the plaintiff wasn't the same officer who shot him.

It might be appropriate to add that interrogating a man who just suffered through 5 gunshot wounds, a permanent spinal injury, and the loss of his eyesight might not be in the best interests of justice.

If that happened to me, and I had to endure some cop asking me the same question over and over again, I would likely be so delirious with pain and anguish that I would say anything to get him to shut up. Given the circumstances, I fail to see how anyone could fully understand what he was saying and the consequences of his actions.

I still can't get the image out of my mind of Harry Callahan grinding his foot into the leg of a kidnapper, after he shot him with his .44Mag, and asking "Where's the girl?"

My bad - still, the cop was out of line.
