Pig breaks kid's arm on school bus (Graphic Warning)




http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/1M-lawsuit-after-troubled-teen-s-arm-broken-by-5194946.php

Rotterdam, NY

Rotterdam police allegedly broke the arm of an emotionally disturbed 16-year-old boy after two cops tried to remove him by force from a school bus he refused to leave, and a video revealed the cracking sound of a bone followed by the teenager's moans and shouted expletives.

Now an attorney representing the teenager's family is suing the town and seeking damages in excess of $1 million for a fractured humerus, possible nerve damage, medical expenses and pain and suffering.

The attorney said the teenager's medications were being adjusted at the time, limiting his ability to move. He has been diagnosed with multiple emotional disorders, including Tourette syndrome, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and pervasive developmental disorder, according to the family's lawyer.

The incident unfolded on the morning of Oct. 9, 2013 in the driveway of the teenager's Rotterdam home and came to light late Friday in a news release issued by Rotterdam Police Chief James Hamilton who said a review determined that "officers followed department protocol and procedures."

that police followed department protocol and procedures.

So let me get this straight.

When dealing with the mentally disabled it is proper protocol and procedure to break their arm ???

In the case of Kelly Thomas the proper protocol and procedure was for 6 police to beat him to death.

What a fucking sick country to allow this insane madness to continue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He forced his arm up directly above his head.

At first I thought he was just trying to cuff him, then I watched it again.

OMG.

They try to force the arms back and around in ways the arm just isn't meant to move. That goes along with the knees in the back and ribs or neck. Just meant to cause the most amount of pain without striking the person.

Here is another broken arm in a school
