Video Shows Police Brutally Beat Terminally Ill Man in Front of His Two Young Children

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/video-shows-police-brutally-beat-terminally-ill-man-front-young-children/

A kind-hearted woman with a cellphone captured the horrific scene of a man choking on his own blood, in front of his children, while pinned under three cops.

According to police they were responding to a report of child abuse. Police say when they approached Jeffery Bane, 39, that he appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. They claim that Bane began to fight police officers, kicking one and trying to spit on others.

This is why, police say, they were forced to pepper spray, beat and kneel on Bane as he choked on his own blood pleading for help....

The appearance of narcotics influence was simply a manifestation of Bane’s disease. What the police referred to as “resisting” is nothing more than uncontrollable and sporadic movements caused by the Huntington’s.

They will never care if a minority is killed for no reason, but they will care when cousin bubba is.

All police officers in every jurisdiction of this county now wear body-cameras.
It's not a perfect solution by a longshot, but it is a step in the right direction.

And yes, KamaAina, this incident took place not far from my home.
