Cop Charged With Assault After Unarmed Grandpa Left Paralyzed

MADISON, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama police officer has been charged with assault and will be fired after authorities say he badly injured an Indian man whom he stopped to question as the man was walking through his son's neighborhood. The man has filed a lawsuit, and the FBI has opened an investigation.

The lawsuit filed by Sureshbhai Patel on Thursday claims that his injuries include partial paralysis. His son said his father had to undergo surgery to fuse two vertebrae in his spine. Hours after the suit was filed, Madison Police Chief Larry Muncey announced that Officer Eric Parker would be fired.

There is a dashcam video of this POS cop slamming this poor man to the concrete for the crime of not speaking English and having brown skin in an upscale neighborhood!
