FULL TITLE: Family's outrage at cops who violently arrested a father of two for 'appearing intoxicated while taking care of his kids'... but actually has a TERMINAL ILLNESS that makes him look that way
Police officers in West Virginia brutally arrested a 39-year-old father of two who they say appeared intoxicated and was handling his kids roughly while walking them to the park.
But his outraged family denies that 39-year-old Jeffrey Bane was under the influence on Sept. 6, when he was left choking in his own blood and pleading for help while he was pinned to the ground by four Granville PD cops during the Sept. 6 arrest in Morgantown.
The whole arrest takes some 10 minutes and was recorded in a shocking video uploaded to YouTube.
The family says Bane suffers from Huntington's disease, a genetic and terminal illness that causes sufferers to increasingly lose their motor functions, at times appearing to be under the influence.

As the local, State, and Federal authorities become increasingly tyrannical more people will “reach out and touch someone.”

A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS
Submitted by Billy_T on Mon, 09/08/2014 at 5:25 am.
A Class-Action lawsuit was filed against the City of Philadelphia for the theft of $64,000,000 through improper civil forfeiture proceedings. Mayor Nutter and ex-DC Police Chief Ramsey conspired to fund the DA’s office and Police department through these thefts. There is a lot of interesting information in the filings for this case, in the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in case number 14-4687.
These actions of “law enforcement” by attorneys who were trained to know better, in order to receive their law degrees, are utterly disgusting.
To-wit:
But do not be distracted by the facilitation of such actions on the basis of ‘drugs’:

To be clear, I’m only reporting. The problem I have with what happened in Pennsylvania: If it was gubmint policies that drove him to vengeance, his actions were misdirected.
“That’s all I got to say about that”
Just because you have a degree in law does not guarantee you are moral or ethical.
I try my best to back the cops, then stuff like this pops up. Too often
Indeed.
I spoke to a potential new client last week that had had a bit of a legal problem. While the least of his worries was his car, it was a collectible. His attorney took $9500 cash to get the car back for him because “it was below the report-able limit”.
When you’re stuck between a system hellbent on civil forfeiture and corrupt lawyers & judges, payola or bend over.
I won’t begin to go into what judges here are doing to homeowners challenging the banks on the ‘missing title’ fiasco...
same here
Wait until everyone finds out the land they own isn’t really theirs!
The criminal justice system, DC, et al are criminal.
*Rimshot!*
I have the opposite problem.
I’m extremely hypoglycemic.
When it drops, it drops suddenly and I feel really “out of it” until I eat something high-protein.
I could not “walk a straight line” during those times to save my life and if it’s really bad, I might even seem ‘drunk’ because my brain is not firing on all cylinders.
If I’m a passenger in our car, I don’t worry *too* much but if I’m on my bike, I fear the suddenly common “random checkpoints” that spring up.
I really doubt that I could pass.
I’ve taken to carrying around those cloying bottles of Muscle Milk, for emergencies.
Brilliant idea for your son’s tattoo.
I’m not sure they’d really comprehend “hypoglycemic”, though.
:-\
“I certainly understand thinking he was intoxicated, but to pin him down with a large cop knees in his back for five minutes is ridiculous and abusive...”
And potentially lethal. Some cops pulled a stunt like this on a homeless guy in southern California and killed him. Kelly Thomas in Fullerton CA.
I wrecked a car on a country road in Connecticut coming home from the second shift. I had a grand mal seizure. I been getting about 1 every other year or so, so I am legally allowed to drive.
The state troopers arrived. They started asking their “circle questions.” Like where were you going? Where were you coming from? When did you think you were going to get there? What time did you leave? What road did you take? Where were going? (Again). Of course I was slurring, because I bit my tongue. I always do when I have these. They began to see that I was rapidly regaining my alertness. One of the troopers drive me home. He put me shotgun.
On an aside, while he was driving me home, he said, “We are living in weird times.” This was about 1 week before Sandy Hook.
It was the last time I have had a seizure, thank God. I have since got a bracelet to warn anyone who finds me, of what might be possibly happening to me.
I used to, but that is when they were “Peace Officers” since their transformation to “Law Enforcement Officers” they can all Burn in Hell.
When I was a kid in school we read a lot about a Government Force that had absolute authority to beat down and even Kill Citizens without recourse, They were also Law Enforcement Officers, but they used the term GESTAPO instead.
Then again, I suppose people in that job feel the same way about us and more so by the day in some places.
Martial law is gonna suck.
“My son’s a type one diabetic. I had him get “Diabetes - type 1” tattooed on his forearm. My nephew was recently diagnosed and has his own.”
You’re assuming that the cop can read and then appreciate the situation.
Yes. Hence my screen name.
