SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLORIDA - All Gilberto Powell, 22, a five foot tall man with Down Syndrome, wanted to do was walk a half block home from a friend's house, but this was enough time and distance for the police to intervene.
Police "followed" Powell because they noticed a "bulge in his pants." He was not happy to see the cops; this was only his colostomy bag (which police ripped from his body). Powell was then beaten down in the street by police, leaving him bruised and battered from blows to the face.
The beating officer insisted Powell ran, but Powell disputes this and said he did everything he could to comply. When Powell's mother asked the cop if he could tell her son had Down's Syndrome, the cop said he wasn't a doctor.
Powell said he felt "helpless" and wants an apology from the police. He also wants to community to be aware that this could happen to YOU
“The only reason I posted at all was to bring out all the cop haters ... and they came out in abundance. LOL!”
So what you are saying is that your whole purpose here is to troll.
What a putz.
The local cops are being trained. One day soon they’ll get the order to implement the police state.
As much as I despise Obama, I think this new wave of Cruelty Cops predates that “thing” in the White House. I suspect something in the trainning is what recalibrates these officers to the point of sadistic and gratuitous torturing.
This kind of Bad Cop behavior is going to bring us closer to some sort of push back from the public. Watch and see. The majority of the public will lose respect for their police. It will be almost the same contempt and disregard that most foreign leaders have for Obama.
This behavior has been building for a good 30 years.
What was it another Police Chief said the other day to this blonde jogger who jaywalked and ended up being chased, handcuffed and hauled off the streets? Oh yes, he said,’Be glad you didn’t get raped (by the cops)! Okay? This officer should never ever get close to a live mike again while wearing a uniform.
Shameful post.
Actually, I’d like to see this guy in front of the mike a lot more. The idiot let a little truth slip out of what US law enforcement has become.
So we should have “preventive” law enforcement?
BTW, I have no problem with the man carrying a gun, it is his 2nd Amendment right.
His profile claims 10 years USN, including service in Vietnam. One would think he has had one or more buddies with colostomies. If so, you would think he would understand how outrageous his comments were.
If his profile is correct, he would have to been the least situational aware person in the USN, ever!
I did as well, that is why I reported him.
I hope the cop’s efforts backfired and received a colostomy bag spray down. I hope the city police receive a colostomy bag full of grief with the lawsuit they get. It will be the price they pay for hiring a nit wit narcissist.
Bfl
Yes by all means cops should have the right to beat the crap out of anyone with a pouch attached to their Stoma. The Cop needs to be horse whipped and banned from any future LEO positions. A Downs Syndrome CITIZEN usually has the functional capacity of a child. IOW it's obvious even if the Colostomy bag wasn't. BTW I know some Instant A-Hole Cops just add badge once it goes on the transition is complete. My deceased FIL was one of the worst in Eastern Tennessee history for brutality.
Well at least they found their lunch /sarcasm. My wife has both colostomy and urostomy pouches she wears. She is severly physically disabled but has full mental capacity. Woe unto any person who feels they have a "right or duty" except in medical emergency to even have a peekaboo. They will personally answer to me. Oh and she is scared of cops also. Her tyrant dad with a badge would beat her with his utility belt into her teens.
Florida allows citizens to carry guns on them. It is better that cops should die than for an innocent citizen to be harmed in the slightest by these jackbooted thugs. That's the way it works in a Free Republic. I guess you like living in a police state.
better question yet, how can a gun fit inside a colostomy pouch? How would you get it into it or out of it? The opening is not big enough. The biggest firearm that could even possibly go in one would be a Derringer.
What if it had been? What part of “shall not be infringed” is confusing you?
IOW you're Trolling huh? I've ran into Cops and interacted with more than my share. Most were professional and had some common sense. I've met others who should never have been allowed to wear a badge including a close family member who's abuses set off one of the largest manhunts in my state. He ran a penal farm and was warden. His hobby? Lining up prisioners and beating them. How do I know this? His daughter as a child saw him do this. His daughter is my wife.
I also have an uncle who was a cop. His personality didn't change when the belt and badge went on. I also knew a police chief a fine man loved & rspected by the community. He too did his job professionally. But I'll call for the badge of a cop any cop who thinks their badge allows them to violate others rights.
