HARTFORD, Conn.: A man alleges that police entered his home illegally and ripped a catheter from his body during a child pornography investigation that led to the arrest of two neighbors.
Andrew Glover, 60, of New Britain filed a notice with the city Thursday that he intends to pursue a federal civil rights lawsuit. He accused the officers of inflicting severe injuries as he was recovering from intestinal surgery in February.
Glover's lawyer, Paul Spinella, said police entered Glover's apartment Jan. 30 and Feb. 28. Glover wasn't involved in child pornography, has not been charged and has no criminal record, Spinella said.

It would seem that in trying to keep us safe, we are becoming less safe?

...who have a catheter, otherwise the police would need to insert one to then pull out.

I noticed that there is an increase of incidences involving cops abusing citizens or making very bad decisions. Is this a trend or the media is doing a better job of reporting?

I hope the unfortunate victim recovers and, if the cops went over the line, recovers damages.

I wonder if it would have been legal to shoot the trespassing officers in self-defense.
To: LibWhacker
Wow, 12 posts and the ‘defend cops at any cost’ crowd hasn’t even shown up to claim the guy waved his catheter at the police in a threatening manner.

We’ve never had such a high percentage of our population in prison, it seems like we’re taking more wheat out with the chaff.

A post like this in 1998 could get you flamed to ashes.

Another reason that I’m glad to be old and off this planet soon. I don’t won’t to be around when all this Black shirted, Swat, militarized police thuggery comes to full bloom. I realize that, because of the times and morality of these days, they are needed. However, this same argument was preached in Germany during the 30s and 40s of the last century. God help us.

I suppose after the police put about 87 bullets into you in retaliation, there might be some discussion about that.
