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

Sherrod told the Huntsville Times. “There is nothing suspicious about Mr. Patel other than he has brown skin.”
Hmmm.......
And a baby pursuing a master's!
Bad week for cops, with this, and the horrific execution of the fleeing “rock thrower,” which looked like something out of Stalin’s USSR.
While I’ve heard the expression “long arm of the law”, this has to be the most extreme case of it in history.
Vendome’s version of a just and proper punishment
And this doesn’t seem like enough but, here goes:
I would chain his hands and legs, then pull him up four flights of metal fire escape stairs, feet first.
Then I would kicked him in the family jewels just enough to cause a stomach ache every 15 minutes for 8 hours.
After that I would push him out a window letting him fall four stories into a pile of razor wire 5 rolls high and 5 rolls wide.
He could lay in the pile of razor wire for two days in the desert sun and then I would release a flock of crows and 1 gallon of scarabs right next to him.
But that’s just me.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but, that made me cry a little bit.
Poor old man, getting roughed up in a country that is suppose to be the most humane and caring country anywhere.
That kid needs to pay the consequences.
+1
We’re suppose to be the country everyone feels safe coming to.
That was a planned Judo move.
He kicked the old guy's legs out from under him with his left leg, pushed up/lifted him with his left arm under the old guy's arm pit while pushing down on the middle of the old guy's back with the right arm.
Designed to drive the old guy's face into the dirt.
The bastard wanted to try the move and he did.
And then I learn about this Kelly Thomas who died a year or so ago as a result of the fat cop, who instigated and escalated the whole situation for no reason and he even told the guy he was going to put his fist in the guy as he was delivering what seem like confusing commands to me and probably more so to a mental patient.
When I say, “jailed,” I mean that—in jail. If he’s given 5, he might spend two in jail.
......did you overlook the salt, sprinkled liberally?
I was incensed I overlooked salt, lemon and honey.
But yeah, I could have included salt to add flavor for the barbecue.

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?
Agreed. But I think it was a guy. The article quoted him as saying he was fearful for his wife's safety. But in today's society, I guess that's no guarantee.
Something tells me that when it is all said and done the Patel’s will own more than the local convenience store and hotel in Madison, AL ... on the taxpayer dime
