here's your daily serving of the thin blue line in action with video included;
Decatur, GA — Katie McCrary is a homeless woman doing whatever she can
to survive. But while she may have a criminal history, she, like other
law-breakers, still deserves to be treated humanely and with some sense
of decency. But that didn’t happen when Dekalb County police officer
Phillip Larscheid, 29, struck her with his baton nearly too many times
to count.
Now, because someone decided to film the police, Larscheid has been
indicted on charges of aggravated assault and violation of his oath of
office.
One of the most troubling aspects of this case is the fact that the
police department originally cleared Larshcheid of any wrongdoing and
only after the video went viral were they forced to “reopen the
investigation.”
The incident happened
on June 4, 2017 when police were called to the scene of a local
convenience store at the corner of Glenwood and Line St. in Decatur.
McCrary had been propositioning patrons for money. Others say she’s
frequently there and may have mental issues.
But when Larshceid arrived, McCrary allegedly pushed him and would
not follow his commands. That’s when bystanders say he began beating her
with his baton.......https://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-indicted-beating-homeless-woman-baton/
