Didya read the story?
his nose is broken, he has a concussion, a broken rib, chipped teeth, stitches across his face and a chunk of skin ripped from his tongue ... cell phone video ... shows a police officer striking Lojak twice, while three other police officers held him down
I think a lot of Freepers would have little sympathy for for a drunk who complained that the cuffs were too tight, and the cops banged his head when putting him the squad car, after arresting him for mouthing off. But when three cops hold a guy down, while the fourth breaks his nose, and a rib, chips his teeth, and gives him a concussion, and cuts needing sutures, and tears a chunk out of his tongue, you have cops who need culling.
Smart money is to comply with a cop's lawful order to let them do their job dealing with stupid punk drunks on ST Patrick's Day.
Show me some sober people, who weren't acting like assholes, who these cops hassled. Hell, did they beat up the other guy, the guy they already had in custody?
Better yet, go to your nearest city's entertainment district on a holiday like St Patricks, Cinco de mayo, and offer some helpful legal advice to cops dealing with a drunken suspect.
Then refuse to back-off.
Have your friends record it like this guy.
Maybe the officers were suffering from ‘roid rage. Test them for steroid use.
Sometimes ya just gotta shut yer yap.
Picken’ a fight with cops is stoopid.
