Love Dem Philly Cops: take 2
Once again, Philadelphia cops have found themselves in a sticky situation, and they’re preaching their message loud and clear…. again…
EXCESSIVE FORCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
We’ve heard that one before. This case came in reaction to the most recent videotaped beating. So this is what went down: Two cops found a 36 year old man writing graffiti… on the wall of a newly married friend…. last August. Naturally, the man ran. Rather than use their words like we learned in kindergarten, the two cops beat the man upon capturing him and then threw him head first into the cop car. After running a background check and finding out that he was clean, they released the man. His friends, who happened to witness the situation, took him to the hospital. With a broken jaw and missing teeth, the man was never charged for anything. This is because the cops (love em!) made up false records to make it look like they were somewhere else … no where near this man. After the highly publicized beating, this man has come forward to prove to the people how messed up our law enforcement truly is.
So, go ahead. Tell the world about the last time you got beat up by the cops. It seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays.
