gee this never happens to anyone else
Will we ever get the full story?
I wonder if he ever thought to tell them, “I’m a cop”
Where are the police bootlickers...?
Very scary. If the police commissioner tries to cover this up, then he is guilty of grave crime. It will take a long, long time for police to recover respect if something isn’t done quickly to discipline the thug officers, and clean up the department.
This is boldface lawlessness that goes to the very heart of freedom. Make no mistake, you will be next unless rule of law is re-established in regards to the police department and its citizens.
“I wonder if he ever thought to tell them, “I’m a cop” ...”
Why should he have to?
Citizens shouldn’t be treated this way.
Get a grip man!
Must be the Amish part of town again.
Why do these sorts of social gatherings attract so much thuggery?
My theory- there was a party. People, including the cop, were drinking. A fight started. The wife called the cops. The cops came. The husband was drunk and belligerent. The cops started beating him and anyone else who was drunk and belligerent- or just belligerent- or just there. Somehow, I doubt this was a high society social gathering.
Between the wacks to the face and the pepper spray... just when do you think he should have said it.
For that matter, even if he wasn’t a cop, did he deserve that? This incident is a sign of something larger. I get annoyed at the first cry of ‘racism’, but in this case, I think there is something to it. Only that this man was a NYPD cop did it get highlighted. Otherwise, this guy would be sitting in jail right now with folks saying that he shouldn’t have been doing something wrong.
I like you.
If cops came in your door, would you say, “I’m not a cop, so you can beat me as much as you want!”
Look on the bright side here: At least there’s no report of anyone’s dog being shot.

I'm guessing even odds.
Clearly, that is not the full story.
What prompted the fight inside the house?
News at 11??
“when Jackson grabbed the sergeant”
I’d say most of the story’s right here.
The profound stupidity of your remark immediately qualifies you for Code Orange membership, possibly even executive committee appointment.
From my home page:
“Introducing CODE ORANGE!!! Free Republic’s Jack-Booted-Thug-We- Hate-Cops Group! CODE ORANGE is just like CODE PINK! Code Pink hates the military because they keep America safe abroad. They hate everything about the military. CODE ORANGE hates the police. They keep us safe here. Same mentality. So enjoy CODE ORANGE FREEPERS! Maybe CODE ORANGE and CODE PINK can hold combined rallies.
Here are some of the signs you might be eligible to join CODE ORANGE: There are 800,000 local, state, and federal police in the US.
1. If you think they are there to protect us and enforce the law, sorry, you are only a conservative. If you think every one of them is a power mad, jack booted thug just salivating over the thought of taking our guns away, you could be a CODE ORANGE prospect.
2. If you think a cop did something questionable in the performance of his duty and you think he should be investigated by internal affairs, the district attorney, or the feds, you are a conservative. If you think he is going to get away with it because all cops are dirty, the rules don’t apply to them, and if you had your way he would be thrown in prison without trial and raped, then you’re the kind of CODE ORANGE poster for us.
3. If you find a thread where it is about police actions, there are limited facts and you want more before you decide what to think about it, you are a loser conservative. If you start banging on the keyboard with your pocket Constitution and screaming about NAZI’s, concentration camps, Communism, totalitarianism, jack booted thugs, bootlickers, and wondering if you have enough ammunition stored in the attic, don’t go back on your meds, think about joining CODE ORANGE.
4. If you think it a bit hysterical that a single incident involving a police action allows you to hate 800,000 police officers, then you are a statist boot licking disgrace. However, if the rural cop in nowhere county upstate Kentucky gets caught drunk off duty and it makes the papers, then a CODE ORANGE member will think it right that all cops everywhere are dirty.
5. CODE ORANGE has as their mascot Mumia Abu Jamal. After all, he executed a cop. He was striking a blow against the jack booted thugs. He saw the police the same way as CODE ORANGE see the police.
SO, let’s pretend that CODE ORANGE and their sister group CODE PINK get their way. The military is disbanded and the police are disbanded. Then everything will be peachy. No military means no war. No police mean no crime. Unlock the prisons. Empty the jails. Tear down the speed signs and shut off the traffic lights. Throw away the law books because there won’t be anyone to enforce them. Enjoy the society you have created.
Otherwise, how about stop pissing on the people you employ to keep the peace? Sound reasonable CODE PINK and CODE ORANGE?”
Maybe people with a functioning brain want to know the whole story. As for you, don’t worry, if you run across a fact later on just lie down until the pain goes away.
Something stinks about this story.
