Police abuses

[Yoyoma1910]

I read an AP article saying that, according to court documents, the shoe struck him about the knee.

The BBC has a version of the video where you can see the shoe striking the officer and you can see clearly he does not flinch as he would if it struck his crotch with any force.

I believe police and other such agents should be charged with harsher penalties for the same crimes, because of the greater responsibility they have, and the fact that they have abused their power and responsibility. But I'd settle for them getting equal treatment.

Fun fact - I talked with my mom about this, and she told me how my Uncle was attacked by cops way back. He was a passenger in a car stopped by cops and started asking questions and generally not being a submissive little peasants. So the cops hit him a bit. My grandmother takes him to complain and the police say they can't file a complaint because they don't live in Milwaukee (where the attack happened) but outside of the city. And they said my uncle 'fell' down on his own. Funny how so many people lose all coordination around cops.

It's a good thing there are cameras to watch the cops now. Maybe your uncle will quit falling down so much.
