Disgraceful video, but a true testament from the priest.

The police always have the choice to handcuff either in front or in back, and they twisted this 80 year old man’s arms in back as if he were a street hood.

It’s horrific that they handcuffed him at all.

I wondered about that...

At 80, he may have arthiritis in his shoulders...

Pulling his arms back like that would have been painful..

Why did they even cuff him ???

He wasnt resisting...

Did he have them surrounded ???

Handcuffing in the front is not safer for the police transporting an arrestee. Some departments require cuffing in the back.

HOWEVER, when you have an 80 year old priest, you might take a "risk" and provide him Some confort so as not to injure him.

Is TSA still body searching 80 year old ladies in wheelchairs? Same mentality.

Who are they? Does anyone have the names of these officers?
