I think the cop needs to be looked at very closely, but I have to admit I'd be surprised if the story holds together at this point.<BR/><BR/>That 17-arrests guy out shooting guns is a good example of the failed criminal justice system. On this, I'm with you 100%, Bob.

A cop pushes a guy in a bicycle down, and 15 cameraphone videos pop up on youtube inside 4 hours of the event....a guy gets butt-raped by a bunch of cops on a crowded subway platform and not only are there no videos, but nobody says Peep! Also was there a medical examination done while the man was arrested? Usally with forceful anal rape there's a good amount of bleeding and obvious discomphort.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On a related note, I read a study once (i can dig it up tonight if you want) about how some of the most skilled doctors in the industry have the highest malpractice claims.<BR/><BR/>Complaints don't nessisarily imply truth.<BR/><BR/>Hell I'm complaining the Bob S.

Not one of them didn't have at least one complaint about excessive force against them. Ask your kids if they have a beef with you after so many years of parenting, if they say no, you aren't doing it right. (grin)<BR/><BR/>I do think the techniques used for "pain compliance methods" can appear and can be harsh.<BR/><BR/>I tend to doubt this story for a couple of reasons- first, no civilian witnesses have stepped forward. NYC isn't a small burg where they can happen unseen by anyone else.<BR/><BR/>Second, his story is changing too much. I don't know about you, but I think I could probably tell the difference between a radio antenna and a nightstick being used.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, his story isn't consistent with itself. If he was brutalized in such a fashion...where is the mention of his clothing being removed, pulled down, or evidence that it was torn. I think if someone used a nightstick or antenna, there would have to be a couple of layers of clothing in the way that needed to be removed. But no report of that in the story.Bob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882819735831651314noreply@blogger.com
