Showing Original Post only (View all)Cop Punches Victim (US Soldier) for Complaining It Took Them 45 Minutes to Respond to His Call [View all]
#at=149http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33898.htm
February 10, 2013 "ABC7" -- -The ABC7 News I-Team has uncovered a new complaint of excessive force against Vallejo police the incident, caught on camera. The department is already reeling after a violent year, including six people shot and killed by officers.
The more I dig, the more questions I have. This story began when a package arrived in the mail from someone inside the department. It was a DVD, a police report, and a letter complaining about a cowboy attitude by officers and command staff.
Imagine youre a police officer on patrol. Its a warm summer day when the call comes in a 22-year-old complaining his roommates beat him up and kicked him out of the apartment.
Do ya still expect them to protect you? O yea ...another ...only a few bad apples ...again and again.

I will defend cops when they are provoked. Not this one. Big, brutal pig. We don't need him.

Listen to the updated ABC link, what is not apparent on the first video are two things.

None of this happens in a vacume. The cop was totally unprofessional and there I no excuse here.
