Police said he was taken to the Hospital by Ambulance, but the Hospital reported they have no record of anyone ever arriving. Possibly put in under a fake name.

Chief Internal Affairs Inspector involved... claims of cover up because his son was one of the officers.

Now hear this: badge-lappers, badge-lappers, lay to the quarterdeck and man your tongues. Lick down and polish all law enforcement officer boots on the double. Set the special cop-worshiping and excuse-making detail. That is all.

Just have to say that the video shows the cop coming out of his way to kick the dude then punch him several times. It is not the way to do business.

I will say that police get jacked up on adrenaline chasing these criminals and it can be hard to restrain yourself.

Also lots of these cops are taking Steriods. Lots of Steriods. That cant help matters.

These threads are getting a lot more civil. Nobody’s tried to justify it because the guy's name is “Luis Mendoza” yet. No pretending that it's “The Kenyan’s” fault either.

Donutwatch threads are about the only FR things I read anymore. There are still a few conservatives left who care about liberty. Very few...
