So you think its OK for cops to beat up people who are handcuffed and under restraint. The difference between this case and the Abner Lewema case (where the man was raped by the police officers with a broomstick) is only a matter of degree. I also suppose you'd support the excuse of shot while resisting arrest or taking the perp out the back way so he can "fall down the stairs" a few times.
Sorry but police must be held to higher standards than those they arrest. If not then what is the difference between them and a street gang except for their uniforms and badges. Once the arrestee is in custody (i.e. handcuffed) then any time they are hit, deliberately shoved down stairs etc, then that is assault and should be treated accordingly. larry -- Larry C.
