Madison police last week roughed up a 57-year-old Indian citizen who was walking on the sidewalk outside his son's home, leaving the older man temporarily paralyzed and hospitalized with fused vertebrae.

"He was just walking on the sidewalk as he does all the time," said his son, Chirag Patel, this morning. "They put him to the ground."

No crime had been committed. Madison Police on Monday issued a statement saying the department had suspended the officer and were investigating the use of force in this case. The police statement wished the man a "speedy recovery."

I sincerely hope this overzealous cop is brought to justice.

3. Heard the officer who assaulted him will be fired.

Good. But he needs to be prosecuted also.

4. he isn't getting any sympathy from any quarter .. nor should he

I hope he has good liability or umbrella insurance ..

8. Same here, because I want that poor grandfather

to be well compensated.

7. He's been arrested

9. he will have to go through a trial and may go to jail

But IF he is a racist ( not saying he is .. Could just have been a testosterone fueled overeager cop), he will have a terrible time digesting the fact that he is now on the other side of the law... I hope he feels humiliated and powerless to do anything about it ..

2. I just saw this on the news.

Made me sick. I hope he recovers quickly and completely.

As for the officer: fire his ass!

5. The cop has been fired

I saw the dashcam video - horrific. More racism.

6. The cop should be in prison.

These buffoons wonder why we don't trust them. Blows my fucking mind.

10. HEY PIG I hope you ROT

IN JAIL. And I hope all your PIG assed brothers see why we can't stand your cowardly chickenshit tactics. You are the enemy.

11. I just heard this on the news this morning

First they slam him to the ground then possibly make his injury worse by moving him around and trying to make him stand. As first responders they should have know better. I think I even heard one of the say something about calling EMS before they tried to make him stand. I wish Mr. Patel a speedy recovery.

12. what is the name of the sissy who called the cops because he is afraid of this elderly man?

Why crucify the cop and give that fuck a free pass?

13. Yeah, the full transcript of the 911 call is pathetic...

Guy says a "skinny black guy" is walking down the sidewalk, and he saw him walking the day before too. The caller is "following him at a distance" and he is "getting close to a garage".

Pathetic. Guy is so scared of the "skinny black guy" walking down the sidewalk he calls 911.
