I made previously a blog post about American police officers assaulting a completely peaceful innocent elderly man with such sheer brutality that he ended up paralyzed for life. After several years of court battles a settlement was finally agreed by the city, but absolutely nothing happened to the police officers (of course).
Well, if you thought this was a unique incident, you would be absolutely wrong. It just keeps happening.
In April of 2020 an elderly American war veteran was stopped and arrested by some police officers because of suspected driving-under-the-influence and a minor car accident.
Apparently because the man didn't walk fast enough, the officer who was escorting him and demanding he walk faster decided to engage in some good old police brutality, and instead of taking him to the police car where he was originally intending to escort him, he tackled the man onto the ground and he and another police officer proceeded to not only berate him verbally but literally inflict physical pain on him.
It's extraordinarily clear from the bodycam footage that they were inflicting him pain deliberately and purposefully. The man complains that it hurts and the police officer responds with a clear: "And it will continue to hurt if you don't listen." This quite clearly indicates that not only were they fully aware that they were inflicting physical pain, but they were doing it on purpose, and continuing to do it on purpose even though the man posed literally zero danger to them. They had zero reason to inflict this kind of pain on the elderly man who posed no danger.
This fully fulfills the international definition of torture, an act that's severely condemned by international courts and human rights tribunals.
After a while they get him up, resume escorting him, but then something happens and one of the police officers tackles him to the ground once again, this time with such force that not only did the man get a nosebleed, but more horrifyingly he ended up with a neck injury that paralyzed him for life.
He remained conscious and started telling the police officers again and again that he can't breathe and that he can't move nor feel his legs. Did those pieces of subhuman criminal garbage listen to him and proceed accordingly as they should when dealing with an injured person? Of course not.
Eerily similarly to that other case that I linked above, here too they tried to forcefully make him walk, even though he clearly could not.
In this case, however, it gets even worse than that other case. In that other case they at least called an ambulance and the treatment of the man proceeded appropriately by medical personnel. Here, however, the officers themselves took the man to the hospital in the police car, with no care whatsoever about his possible neck injury. (As everybody knows, if someone is suspected of a neck or back injury, he should not be moved by anybody, and only medical personnel should move him once they have immobilized him properly with neck braces etc.)
It gets worse. In the hospital the subhuman criminal scum cockroaches outright lie to the medical personnel, which causes them to not treat the man with the care that he should have, because of his potential neck injury.
What follows is absolutely incredible. It's not clear whether the medical personnel were just misled by the police officers so effectively that they outright didn't believe the man, or whether they were utterly incompetent, but they didn't start treating him as a possible spinal injury victim even after he repeated like a hundred times that he can't move nor feel his legs and that he has been paralyzed. Incredibly, the medical personnel take him to an MRI machine without immobilizing him properly, possibly causing even further injury.
In the end, this elderly war veteran ended up being paralyzed for life.
After a 2-years-long legal battle the city finally settled the case for 20 million dollars.
And what happened to the two subhuman garbage officers who brutally assaulted the man, deliberately and purposefully tortured him, caused him severe injury, ignored his medical emergency and outright lied to medical personnel, possibly causing even more harm?
Nothing, of course. Both still working for the police precinct. What did you think?
(Ok, part of the 20 million dollar settlement is to be paid by the officers themselves. Take a guess if they'll ever pay it from their own pockets. Or experience any repercussions for their actions.)
