Seriously, though...wtf? This cop's gonna burn.
the last line says it all
this guy's track record is unbelievable
I figured that would happen shortly after he got to jail.
the local paper is running the cops through the media out here real bad. the system out here fucking sucks (im sure its fucked other places too...). its about time bullets ran through these fuckers domes and homes... seriously... fuck their families... i hope they get fucked up because of their family members. why? twenty years of fucked up memories, psychological issues, hatred of police... a serious hatred for them, etc. plus my father has never been the same since they dragged him through the ingleside police station by his hair, ripped hair out of his head, shackled him to a hot water pipe, and after asking to get let up to use the bathroom after 4hrs all they said was "fuck you wetback and go piss yourself..."
life hasnt always been good for the torres'
That's sad to hear Justin...
this kid that went to my middle school got gunned down because he had a squirt gun... it was unfortunate. he was mentally retarded and had this squirt gun playing out at balboa park one evening. i guess someone saw him running around with the gun and called the police whos station is literally 100 or so steps away from the swimming pool where he was standing near.
they ran up on him and started screaming at him to put the gun down but he didnt speak cause of the retardation. so when he started towards them with the gun in his hand they shot him... his cousin who i was really good friends with wrote this little saying on the ground where he died and its stuck in my head all these years:
Cops shoot kids
Kids get dropped
Cops kill kids with warning shots
he lived across the street from the park so it wasnt weird for him to be there. was it bad because he had a squirt gun that looked like a pistol? yeah probably but shit... cops are quick to flash on someone.
I'm sorry you and your family were put through this. Corrupt cops are about the scariest form of local government abuse since police are constantly around.
Though I've thankfully never experienced such an ordeal as you have, I did witness abuse firsthand when my friend Mohammad was thrown to the ground (very very hard) by County Police when we were 13. And all he had done was ask what the charge was, while we were being detained.....we had been riding our bikes round a local shopping center late at night, just talking, when we were grabbed by cops. Literally. And apparently being out late was worthy of violence.
damn, definetly going to bump this today in you and your pops honor.
what a dirtbag cop. not surprising though. at least, in this city. the office of citizen's complaints is a joke. it's managed by the police commision for crying out loud (or the police commision appoints the director) and is supposed to give the illusion of there being checks & balances for the police dept. what a joke. this jerk has had 56 citizen complaints in just his first 7 years and was never fired even after all this? i can't believe this city doesn't have an independent watchdog/police-review agency like berkeley. especially since so many of these high profile corruption stories have been popping up the last 5 years. sickening.
Really? I think things may be different in Canada...
