Madison police today released video of officers throwing a 57-year-old Indian citizen on the sidewalk outside his son's home.
The incident left the grandfather temporarily paralyzed and hospitalized with fused vertebrae.
Chirag Patel said his father, Sureshbhai Patel, was visiting to help his wife care for their new baby, a 17-month-old son, so he could pursue his masters degree in electrical engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Madison police officer Eric Parker today turned himself in to face assault charges.
Chief Larry Muncey told a small press conference in Madison that he also recommended that Parker be fired for his use of force against a man who committed no crime, did not speak English and could not understand the commands.
Patel's family and attorney say he suffered swelling to his spine and required surgery to fuse two vertebrae. He remains unable to use all of his limbs

They should have sent in the Marines. The ROE would have prevented us from doing anything like that.
Reflect on his crime? He needs to be punished. This cop is the type of scum who needs to be thrown in a cage and set on fire. Unreasonable use of force against an innocent, under color of authority.
Hoosier Hill is 1,257 ft. above sea level and the highest point in Indiana. I hope this didn’t happen there (mostly because there’s not much there).

OOOPS! I read Indiana instead of India...Never mind.
“The cop needs to be jailed for 12-24 months or so, to reflect on his crime.”
You really think that’s adequate? My guess is that he will do 5-10. He should do more time if any thing because he acted under color of authority. Just hope his cellmate is Indian, homosexual and very large! Oh how far our LEOs have fallen. There are far too many of them who are criminals with badges.
Got to make the peasant suck the ground with his face.
Obviously those officers are not very bright, as it is quite obvious why a man who “doesn’t speak a lick of English” is not responding to requests made in English.
“rail gun human cannonball things”
The Germans had a cannon like that in France that was designed to shoot artillery shells as big around as a New Jersey governor across the channel into England.
It was mostly underground and was a couple miles long. The payload’s propulsion was assisted by charges all along its trip through the ‘tube’.
Maybe the Indians had something similar for use against Pakistan or China and Mr. Patel Sr., being of suitable caliber for the job, achieved stratospheric trajectory landing in Madison?
The Madison, Alabama taxpeasants need an eight-figure bill jammed up their keesters dry to wake them up.
They shold have kicked in the door and shot the wife & kids for this act of defiance.
Refusal to follow Police Commands, and whatnot.
To college, I'm afraid.
If I may ask, what’s the other type?
The cop could have shot the guy. Then he could have made it all right and gotten praise from the chief if he remembered to tell other cops that he “felt threatened.”
Suck it deep.
This tells you all you need to know about the cop.
And their word is better than yours in court.
The woman will not repent. To her he’s “just a nigger.”
Their age.
Their age.
