fat dumb and wrong=cops in America today
A disgrace on every level.
Dumbed down America also means dumbed down cops.
That is so sad. That poor wife, unable to help her husband.
Typical cop on a power trip. Never initiate contact with the police. Many are either corrupt or are on a power trip. Every encounter with the police is a potential life threatening situation.
Goog thing she didn't try to record it or she'd have got the beat-down too.
The “cop” should go to prison. This one was an ego with a uniform. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable! What was this cop thinking?
The police these days are digging themselves a DEEP hole.
One day, they are going to need ‘us’, but most people will just stand there and watch, as they are eaten by the ‘zombies’.
They would have brought that fate upon themselves....
Just another union tough-guy protecting his job.
Like they say, there is no situation so bad that it can’t be made worse with the addition of a cop on the scene. Not all cops of course, but getting the wrong cop is like winning the lottery in reverse.
did you ever watch Alaska State Troopers on the National Geographic Channel?
they treat the citizenry with ultimate disrespect and are elitist when it comes to the people’s constitutional rights....(If I ran the state police in Alaska I certainly would not want a reality show of this type, especially from what I have seen).
the word Nazis comes to mind when I watch that show....
The only time in my life I was robbed was by uniformed San Francisco police officers.
I don’t have tattoos, wear hip-hop clothing, and I don’t smart off to cops. I never drink and have never smoked pot.
Did I mention I also used to work for a PD...?
I was shocked to the core —I’m still shocked.
I’m sorry to say I believe this story completely.
The writer of this piece did a good job giving us enough information to form an opinion.
Henderson's wife, Dorris, watched from a wheelchair 18 feet away and called 911, saying that Scott was "beating the hell out of my husband." When the ambulance arrived, Scott sent it away, handcuffed the man and put him in the back of his patrol car.
Scott's superior showed up, released Henderson and called the ambulance back to treat Henderson and bring him to Thomas Hospital.
As of May 16, 2011, Officer Trent Scott was still employed by the Fairhope Police Department.
If this PIG doesn’t go to prison for what he did then it is up to everyone in the state to know his name and place of residence, and the names and places of residence of his bosses and the DA who let him go. While we are all busy watching the Kabuki Theater in DC worrying about out “rights”, our own cities and states have been taken over by Naziesque thugs.
Their time will come.
I may be mistaken, but I thing Fairhope is full of retaired military.
I feel very sorry for the victim, Dorsey Henderson - and his wife who had to watch her husband be beaten and was helpless to stop it. I hope they receive a big, fat cash settlement from the town and just as important, that Officer Scott be fired for abusing his authority. If this man is 'Officer of the Month', that department is in serious trouble and more than one 'head should roll'. If the union protects him, shame on them and the citizens that allow this kind of corruption to exist in the police department they support with their tax dollars.

Naturally the cops have released their version of events. Naturally they blame the old man.
Who is 84 YEARS OLD, for crying out loud.
Sometimes the ONLY difference between the police and the criminals is the badge.
