Police withheld video of officers laughing, mocking, re-enacting brutal beating of Floyd Dent

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/27/1380698/-Police-withheld-video-of-officers-laughing-mocking-re-enacting-brutal-beating-of-Floyd-Dent

“He is bleeding like a sieve, there is blood everywhere,” said Rohl. “The officers don’t seem at all disturbed by what happened at the scene. They appear happy, pleased, even celebratory over the arrest of Floyd Dent—a man who was just beaten kicked and tased.

As the officers continue wiping Dents blood off them, an officer decides to do a little acting. He lies down on a bench and imitates Dent being on the ground at the scene choked by Officer William Melendez. His acting seems to thrill rather than disgust his audience.

At the same time, Dent is suffering from a closed head injury, broken ribs, and a fractured orbital but had not been allowed to see a doctor for his injuries.

And the public in these communities know. The police are fooling no one. The rest of us are catching up! Fairness will take time, but is possible.

Hmmmm, I wonder what could've possibly motivated these officers to stop him in the first place.......

Why, if they rioted, they might set corporate property on fire. Gotta have your priorities...

Maybe we can get some worth out of the DHS. Then again, Big Brother seems to feed them piles and piles of military hardware. Time for the DoJ to do a top down review. This kind of barbaric pig needs to find themselves out of a job and when we see a gaggle of piggies, you know there has to be systematic failure from the top to the bottom.

Pathetic. Wrong. Sad.


I posted this in another thread, but wow does it belong here too! LISTEN to what she is saying...this is 1972!

How depressing...nothing fucking ever changes.

Part human part animal. Humans have built in compassion and empathy which they are sorely lacking.
