A south suburban Chicago police officer was caught on a security camera beating up a high school special education student, CBS2 reports. Marshawn Pitts, 15, was walking down his school hallway when he says a Dolton, Ill. police officer went from berating him for his untucked shirt to slamming him to the ground and beating him. "The officer was in his face because he didn't have his shirt tucked in," Pitts' attorney told CBS 2's Davis Savini. "That's the officer put in that school to protect these kids, and instead of doing that, this officer is literally assaulting this kid." Read full story here
Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben
Saw this, I think, yesterday. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Where did this fella get his Poe-lease trainin'? From American Poe-lease Force? There was no excuse for that attack. That officer should be arrested and charged with assault and battery, just for starters. If that had been my kid attacked that way I don't think I would wait around for some black robed boob or some yuk-yuk shift commander to reprimand the officer. And they would never see that boy in blue again...no one would.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scum-bag.
It will be interesting as to just how that police force spins that video.
