here you have the opportunity to discover more about how the 'thin blue line' which these days is dressed in black, 'protects' you;
On July 27, 2017, Johnny Wheatcroft was a passenger in a silver Ford
Taurus when a pair of Glendale police officers pulled in front them in a
Motel 6 parking lot.
The stop was for an alleged turn signal violation.
Minutes later, Wheatcroft was handcuffed lying face down on the hot
asphalt on a 108-degree day. He’d already been tased 10 times, with one
officer kneeling on his back as another, Officer Matt Schneider, kicked
him in the groin and pulled down his athletic shorts to tase him a final
time in his testicles, according to a federal lawsuit and body camera
footage obtained by ABC15.
The scene was witnessed by his 11- and 6-year-old sons.
Multiple independent law enforcement experts, who agreed to review
the incident, said the officers’ conduct was unlawful, potentially
criminal, and one of the most cruel and troubling cases of police
misconduct they’ve ever seen.
“I have never seen anything like this before,” said Jeff Noble, an
attorney and former deputy chief of police in Irvine, Calif., who’s
testified in hundreds of cases including Tamir Rice and Philando
Castile. “ It reminds me of a case in New York where an individual was
sadistically taking a broom handle and shoving it up (the suspect’s)
anus. This is just beyond the pale. It’s outrageous conduct.”
Former LAPD detective supervisor T.T. Williams echoed his shock.
“That’s not even borderline,” said Williams, an expert witness who testified in the Philip Brailsford case on behalf of the prosecution. “That’s inhumane.”...........https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/abuse-of-force-body-camera-video-shows-man-tased-11-times-by-glendale-officers
