Five cops were needed to beat up on an 84-year-old man? They’re no better than a bunch of street thugs.
No cops beat up this old grifter.
He started a shoving match with a cop writing him a ticket, and scraped his cheek when he fell to the ground.
Five cops restrained him, so that he could be subdued without further injury. Then they took him to saint Luke’s hospital.
Had they used a taser, you would have been all over them for that. Had the cop who was writing him a ticket duked it out with him solo, he would have been hurt and you would be outraged. Had the cop let him go, you would be whining about corrupt cops refusing to do their job when the person in question doesn’t (or pretends not to) speak english.
So we can count you among the so called enlightened who thinks this old con artist should get millions for initiating a fight with the cops?
Where do I go to get you to demand the courts shower me with money too?
I am sure I could shove a cop somewhere. I’ll even do something to get a ticket.
I tend to agree with you. I think its wrong for a bunch of burly cops to beat or abuse any 84 year old person whether they speak English or not. There is no respect in our society anymore for our elders. Its not like an 84 year old guy is going to overwhelm them or anything. Give me a break.
$5 million settlement? Uh no!
Thirty minutes of sensitiity training with Gunny Ermy for the cops? Yes! :-)
