 if you have any question about why i post abusive cop reports here is a great example of why the cops are out of control;

Topeka, KS — A 14-year-old boy with autism was left traumatized and physically injured last month after one of Topeka’s finest felt it necessary to throw him to the ground, handcuff him and then kneel on his neck in the same move that proved fatal for George Floyd — a fully grown man. The boy’s mother is now speaking out and seeking justice for her child.

“At around 4:26 p.m. the officer located the 14-year-old in the neighborhood a third time and conducted a pedestrian stop,” the police Facebook post said. “He did not comply with the officer’s commands. A use of force was generated when he was taken to the ground and handcuffed.”

The officer informed the boy that he was in violation of city law the first time and told him to take the “goddamn dog home” the second time, according to body-camera footage detailed in the audit report, and reported on by VICE.

The boy — who was likely scared to death when the armed man began yelling at him — did not immediately comply and decided to keep riding his bicycle home. When the officer finally caught up to the boy, violent force was used against him and his dog.

After the incident, Marlena Mitchiner, the boy’s mother put out a statement through four individuals who are advocating on her behalf, noting that officials need to “take a thorough look and make necessary changes” to Topeka police use-of-force policies.

In a report from CJ Online, the advocates said Police Chief Bill Cochran “has stated on several occasions that they do not use the ‘knee on the neck’ technique, but in this case, the officer did” — and the victim was a small child........read more........
