I have been following the animal rescue efforts and there are cases as bad or worse there.
"Had I been someone convicted of a felony in the past," Briles said. "It would have been the criminal's word against his."
Come on!! These N.O. police were some of those that missed the plane to Vegas and they were just venting a little steam. Lighten up francis.
New Orlean's mayor's finest at it again.
I support most LEO's, but these guys seem to have crossed that very thin line.
Let's not be stuck on stupid. A FEW cops DO NOT represent the hundreds of others that are doing their job. Prosecute those who are causing problems. Enough said. What if we judged a whole force by a couple of yahoos in each of our own cities? Geesh. Sometimes I wonder about the posters in here.
You were violated by these despicable bullies, Mr. Briles, and so are a whole lot of other good Americans these days.
But don't expect anything to be done about it anytime soon, the police are not only above the law but they are held up in the media and entertainment industry as consecrated saints, capable of doing no wrong. Naturally, this sacrosanct position in American society gives them all the latitude they need to do whatever they feel like doing, to whomever they feel like doing it to.
A supposedly drunk 64 year old retired school teacher being arreste dor public intoxication is a "federal investigation"? Wow, those federal officers must be awfully bored....
This just gets uglier and uglier. I have posted here several times to not pre-judge the officers without more real evidence - particularly pre-video. But the other officers involved, including an FBI agent and now a Customs agent - Something is terribly awry here. And as the old man was released quickly from jail without a huge bond, I would wager that there were no federal charges against him....
Now - did these two guys do more than they admit - dunno. But I do wonder about the other officers involved, as I don't recall alcohol consumption being a federal crime (at least since prohibition...), and simply stating that you need to tell somebody about what you have witnessed....
Something stinks, and it's not the horse dung from the mounted cops.
"We couldn't believe it," said Briles, a 21-year-old University of South Florida student and self-described humanitarian.
"I was just manhandled like I've never been before”.
"They wouldn't let me say anything."
"I was scared to death - didn't know what really to do.”
"I wanted to make sure they weren't going to punch and hurt Calvin."
"We felt violated," Briles added.”
"We enjoy helping people,"
Are these guys sissy’s or what?
Oh boy, a fresh thread!
These two witnesses sound like they're from France. Come on, "we were manhandled," gimmie a break.
Heck, I bet there are worse frat initiations at their college.
Is this the best they can do?
"I was scared to death", "I wanted to make sure they weren't going to punch and hurt Calvin" (translation: they probably interfered with the arrest and got read the riot act) "I was just manhandled like I've never been before" "I want to tell somebody about this"
here's the best one: "We felt violated" and "our enjoyable night turned out to be crap"
Sheesh.
Is anybody else's gaydar going off?
The most disturbing thing of all is that it seems two FBI agents were in on the beating of the retired schoolteacher.
"But I loved it" squealed the self desrcribed humanitarian
Did anyone see the sleezy defense lawyer watching the tape of the incident on CNN tonight? (Greta was on her rancid Natalee Holoway story again, so Fox doesn't interest me when she's on.) The lawyer had the biggest grin on his face while watching the jackbooted thugs beat up on the old man...really an odd reaction. I've been to NO once. I would never go back with people like this walking around with guns.
If you want trouble with the police just try arguing, resisting arrest, running from them, or anything that smacks of arrogance. Someone with a gun says stop, then stop. This isn't rocket science!
I wonder if the ATF was involved?
