4. Fired? What about arrested? What about justice for the victim?

This continues to happen because these monsters get away with it.

6. So many of these incidents...hope to hear of the resolution, for ill or for good. The more

publicity, the better. Until people get sick and tired of our Police State. What a horror he must have experienced. His torturers must face more than the unemployment line...or the next police station down the road...they need to PAY and be held responsible. Pay...out of their pockets, their pension plans, or hard labor...but Pay.

RIP, young man.

8. About F%$#ing time.....

they fire all. If you watch an abuse going on, and do not stop it you should be fired! Sick of the "Blue Wall" of silence helping other cops get away with abuse!
