My name is Zachary King Sr I was beat by 4 or more officers Sunday after concert for no reason at all, I was walking to my truck when a officer stewert noticed I had a bulge in my shirt, he asked me what it was I put my hands up and said I have a conceal & carry and its my gun he then grabbed me by neck screamed GUN GUN GUN slammed me against brickwall then 4 or more officer slammed me on my face including officer Bronson and beat the mess outta me for no reason, Im legal and they arrested me for obstruction of legal process whatever that is? I did nothing wrong they gave me a brealyzer I blew 0s I didnt resist and I was profiled and they did this to me so were gonna march on fri to police station downtown over 100 ppl. I have a lot of ppl behind me that are not taking this lightly my mom is reverend and a chemical dependecy counselor and her job and church are furious as well as the whole twin cities hip hop community which I am a high ranking member in so this what the march is about we will have firm time and date for Friday tomorrow

(45,850 posts)I witnessed at least 4 cop beatings including one downtown where they (at least 6 of them) turned their dogs on a homeless man and stood by and yukked it up while the dogs chewed this poor guy up, oh and in the late '70's a cop payoff that was really creepy it was by MCAD along with a couple more random night stick applied to cuffed suspect type things
It did not take long for me to be as afraid of the cops as I was of criminals

(24,924 posts)I saw a cop hold a guys face to the frozen ground while he was handcuffed. Any time you start asking them what they're doing the get agressive toward you. I try to avoid cops at all costs here.

(45,850 posts)they had pulled into the alley behind my house, 6th precinct again and taken a guy who was cuffed out the one of the two squad cars and proceeded to beat him senseless with their night sticks, I tried to call it in to internal affairs I had the license plate numbers and numbers off the roof(s) of the cars guess what they told me, without the officers badge numbers they had no way of knowing which officers were the perps, so are we to believe that Mpls doesn't keep track of which officers have what cars and when?
