Posted without comment.




No crime had been committed. Madison Police on Monday issued a statement saying the department had suspended the officer and were investigating the use of force in this case. The police statement wished the man a "speedy recovery."

C'mon man... as long as THE OFFICER went home safely... wheres the story here?

Now pick up the can and move your ass along...


BTW... in case you weren't aware... THE LAW no longer matters. All that matters are those who enforce, argue, adjudicate, and execute it. Those associated with it don't exist to serve you. You exist to serve them.

"This is broad daylight, walking down the street. There is nothing suspicious about Mr. Patel other than he has brown skin," said Sherrod.

He MUST have done something wrong! Abuses of power aren't tolerated. There's always the officer's side of the story. Blah blah blah blah...

Oh my... we wouldn't want any INJUSTICE to happen!!! At least not to the poor officer...


Btw... do I seem "angry" in this thread??? Well I AM!! This is getting beyond ridiculous. I work with over a hundred PD officers and if I knew of any of them to abuse their power like this... they'd never get a helping hand from me again.

From the article:
"This is a good neighborhood. I didn't expect anything to happen," said Chirag Patel, who recently bought the new house on Hardiman Place Lane.

He probably never considered that if something did happen, it would be the police doing it.

A brown guy who didn't even speak English walking around in nice white neighborhood...probably wearing those cheap sandal.
What did he expect the police to do...kiss him on the cheek?
If he just stayed in the house with the curtain closed nothing would have happened.

I had an engineering professor named Patel.

Nobody could understand anything he said.

At one point, we tried writing a Patel-to-English dictionary.

my office is in Madison where this happened. Its a suburb of Huntsville Al (new Remington home) and is full of engineers and technical people. lots of Japanese, Arab, Indian and many other nationalities are all over this town.

im sure the language barrier had a bit to do with it but so did the foreigners ignorance of American police instructions and tactics. Did the officer take it to far and use too much force on an old man, probably but he is not 100% at fault if the old man isnt responding to commands and digging in his pockets.

pretty crappy situation all around with several factors that led to this incident.

To be honest, I'm more pissed at the neighbor than the cops.

I mean, who sees an elderly Indian guy walking around and calls the cops?

Really? How fucking racist and scared of the world must you be to see a brown skinned person walking down the sidewalk and calling the cops is your response?

Fuck.

Not liking what went down at all, but the fact that the man was is grandfather has jack shit to do with it, nor does the fact that he was 57.
Like a 57 year man is nothing but old and decrepit and could not possibly pose a threat to officers who are much younger.
Again, I have an issue with what went down and that a man is in this condition over BS

Justify all you want.  A non-violent old man who committed no crime is paralyzed because of shit training and bully-culture. I'm sick of hearing about whose fault it isn't.

I would think it would come down to the in car and bodycam footage.





IF the encounter went down the way the paid lawyer/spokesman for the family says, the officer should lose his job at the least.





This could also be a case of My Baby Hindu nuffin... bid dum bump!
