The Cedar Grove police chief who witnesses say dragged an 80-year-old man off his ATV and slammed him to the concrete said in a criminal complaint that the man wouldn't follow his instructions and tripped getting off the ATV.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Cedar Grove police chief who witnesses say dragged an 80-year-old man off his ATV and slammed him to the concrete said in a criminal complaint that the man wouldn't follow his instructions and tripped getting off the ATV.


According to the complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, Johnny D. Walls said that he first stopped Robert McComb for traveling the wrong way on Dawson Street. He charged McComb with a wrong way violation, fleeing an officer on an ATV and obstructing an officer.


Walls said McComb couldn't hear him at first, according to the complaint. When Walls asked for a second time if McComb had a driver's license, McComb told him he did but that it was at his house.

1. Why is it that a criminal's record counts against him...
but a cop's record never does?

The city needs to be taken to court to make an example!

2. At least the local crack dealer
doesn't have to worry. The local cops are busy pounding on 80 year old men, instead of doing their fucking job.

4. Crack dealers can fight back, would be my guess.
I once saw a man being beaten and mugged on one side of the street in Miami Florida, while two metro cops were loading a drunken homeless man in the cruiser across the street. Reminds me of how Bush invaded Iraq, because he figured Iraq was already beaten down.

6. The USA becomes more like Nazi Germany every day...
We are being forced to pay people to fuck over us.

That cop needs to be flogged in public.

7. Bet iof the guy was in his 30's
over 6 feet and he weighed in over 220 the police would not have even tried to pull him anywhere much less slam him on to concrete. He shows his macho by beating up an 80 year old man.

8. The cop has a record of beating on people...
You'd think when a town hires a "Police Chief" they'd do a background check. Now the town will pay for their stupidity. It's too bad the old guy had to be beaten to unmask the thug. Lucky the cop hadn't killed someone before he was fired.

9. One day, Walls will be 80 years old and remember this day.
I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life.

10. Walls will move on to the next town in the next state and do it to
somebody else.

Just like the PNAC torturers will move on to their next caper.
