Reported May 9th, 10pm on corporate media KARE11 by reporter
Bernie Grace, KARE website has not posted it yet as of 2:30am:
Eden Prarie(?) resident Kaymar Farahan filed suit today (May 9)
against the MPD for the brutal treatment he suffered at the hands
of two MPD thugs during a traffic stop.
He was stopped in downtown Mpls (didn't catch the date of this
incident) for having license tabs that were expired. When one of
the cops started rifling through the glovebox, Farahan asked why
he was doing that. The cop responded by slamming Farahan's face
into the pavement, breaking his nose.
The cops were making numerous racial slurs throughout - "diaper"
remarks (presumably referring to arabic headwear), "Osama's brother"
and "anthrax" comments, etc..
Once they got tired of beating him outside the car, they threw him
handcuffed into the back of the squad car. Once there, while still
cuffed, one of them pulled his head back while the other sprayed
mace into his eye from about 2 inches away and said "Here, take
some anthrax"....
BTW, Farahan isn't Arabic - he's Jewish, and American, his family
having moved here from overseas when he was 2. Ah, that perfect
blend of hair-trigger brutality, flagrant racism AND mind-boggling
stupidity! - what more could Amerikka ask for in a "good cop"?
He was initially arrested on numerous charges (news report didn't go
into specific ones), but gee - ALL were DROPPED except the charge of
not having his driver's license on his person at the time. And of
course we have the obligatory dung from the MPD: "Farahan attacked
outside the car and threatened inside the car"...
Yeah, his face attacked the pavement, and he threatened to stay alive.
