Now cops in America are playing with the dead bodies of the unarmed suspects they kill

California cop accused of tickling, tampering with corpse of man killed by police

A California cop is on paid leave for allegedly tickling and tampering with the corpse of a man shot and killed by police - and the dead man's outraged family wants answers, their lawyer said.

Bakersfield Police Officer Aaron Stringer allegedly pulled on the toes of Ramiro James Villegas' body in November, touched the bottom of Villegas' feet saying "tickle tickle," manipulated his head and told a trainee he "loved" playing with dead bodies, lawyer Mark Geragos told the Daily News.


"We are grossly disturbed by the ghoulish behavior of the police," Geragos told The News.

The claim said Villegas was "unconstitutionally shot to death" after he was cornered.

&quot Villegas) got out of his vehicle, unarmed and nonviolent, with his hands up," the claim obtained by The News said. "The officers opened fire for no justifiable reason and shot decedent in the head while another officer used his taser. Decedent was left to die with no first aid being administered. Decedent died 30 minutes after the incident."

The Bakersfield Police Department's Critical Incident Review Board determined the shooting was within department, state and federal guidelines.



Hands up, unarmed. Shot to death. Shooting was within state & federal guidelines.

It seems I remember reading that an officer was fired for inappropriate touching of Whitney Houstons dead body.

Do they go out of their way to FIND these monsters? Are they looking for desensitized bastards to police this country?
