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.
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.
Look on the bright side here: At least there’s no report of anyone’s dog being shot.

No story, no dog shot.
Now he knows how we feel.
Bunch of Long Islanders on safari in the jungle picked the wrong target.
Welcome to the party pal!
Prætorians attacking each other. What next?
That's probably the point where things went downhill fast...
Too many tragic events begin with a person in trouble, or someone acting on their behalf, picking up the phone and dialing "911". Then, into this already tense situation come armed agents of the state whose very job it is to find things to "arrest" people for. This is not a recipe for solving problems, but for manufacturing them. It complicates a situation. Too often the person in trouble, or a family member, ends up being attacked or killed by the responding cops...
...Calling 911 has become too dangerous, since there is no situation so bad it can't be made worse by adding a cop, and since LEOs now have the "us vs. them" attitude drilled into them during their training...
I am not saying that the police do not have a hard and difficult and stressful job to, but they do have an attitude (they probably need to have one in order to do their job and to survive) that they bring to the scene that is dangerous to anyone who has attracted their attention.
While the person who called 911 may just know that they are the good guy, the police don't have a score sheet and are apparently trained to not assume anything and to treat everyone as a potential threat. Anyone who protests what the police do to get control of a situation are going to find themselves taken down hard and arrested.
There are a lot of stories out their about someone calling the police for all kinds of stuff and what happens when the police get there is not what they expected. Also because in addition to the attitude the police must have in order to do their job, there are also policies that they MUST follow in certain situations that result in a much bigger situation than the 911 caller ever thought would arise...
Girlfriend calls 911 because her boyfriend took the tv remote away from her and won't give it back to her. Neighbors call 911 because boyfriend is trying to keep girlfriend from getting into her car because she is off her meds and says she is going to kill herself by ramming the car into something at high speed. Husband calls 911 because wife is drunk and he's trying to get the car keys from her and she's not giving them up and he does not want to hurt her. Mom calls 911 because her son is off his meds and won't take them and is acting strange... Etc.
Now a lot of these situations are really no-wins for the cops too - They cannot be expected to fix something in a few minutes that has been going on for a long time that would probably take ten years of therapy or whatever to fix.
However, they will fix it their way. Separate the parties - One person always gets arrested. Problem solved...
Also, the person who called 911 did so because they knew they were the good guy and they want the police to come and bust the bad guy. Unfortunately the police arriving on the scene don't automatically know who is the good guy, and are trained not to make assumptions. So it is all too easy for things to go "the wrong way" once they are there...
On a personal note, I do not have parties at my house. I also do not allow certain family members who I have had trouble with in the past even in my house. Pretty much for the reasons listed above (as well as what I consider common sense doing all I can to avoid trouble).
Yes, I may be a bit paranoid. But I think a little paranoia is a good thing (and justified by events around us) these days...
