US Soldier Beaten and Tasered at the hands of LAPD. Watch the videos and read the entire thread lead.
PART 1 of the BEATING IS HERE: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8eb_1178867537

And who is the senator of the state there? Hmmmm, perhaps his hatred of the war in Iraq (and by proxy those fighting it) has trickled down to some in his state. For once the ACLU is on the right side of things.
Has Bush been blamed for this yet?
10 years from now some liberal college kid will be mocking the troops of the next war claiming these incidents never took place.
Do not question your overlords with guns and badges. They can do no wrong.
Cops are pricks - nothing new here.
Whoops, sorry, didn’t realize who I was posting to....
a) thank you for your support of your husband, and for his service.
b) I’d suggest sending to michelle malkin:
www.michellemalkin.com
www.drudgereport.com (easy email submission box on right hand side).
c) I’ll send this along as well.
I watched the videos. I think they were trying to kill him. I couldn't help but think they have some type of personality disorder; you know, too much aggression. They need to be fired.
It’s a good thing you have the recording from the cell phone. If those officers think they can taser someone for using foul language then God help the people they’re supposedly protecting.
well just what the hell did he do to deserve this? I viewed both parts and I’m stunned. did he use a “magic word” that offended these cops maybe? he seemed polite and professional when his cell caught part of it. I don’t get it. have the police given any valid (in their view) reason for this yet? give these videos a look fellow freepers.
No doubt there was probably no lack of high-fives and pats on the back afterwards at the bar. I can only imagine the one saying “Did you see that m****rf****r hit the ground and do the funky tuna when I lit him up with the taser??? Let’s go kill some kittens.”
If this was a black inner city non-soldier male assaulted by a white cop, there’d be a riot, a conference with Jessie Jackson, and a congressional hearing.
America’s soldiers deserve the same level of attention and outrage.
great Idea, michelle malkin will be ALL over this.
sent also to drudge and redstate, now to ACE (he’ll flip).
If they'll treat a soldier like this, what chance does anyone else have?
Las Vegas is now Off Limits for me.
bttt
yeah, and the “reverend” (my ASS) al would show up to. oprah would warm up a place on her couch for him also.
Well, they can run from a barage of emails, plus, Dr. Roul’s got it right - hitting them in the purse always gets attention. See Imus.
Hey, along the lines of disparate treatment based on race, I heard about a story in TN (I think) involving the vicious murder of a white man and women by some number of black Americans. The controversy is that the media there tried to supress the story because of the race of the perps...heard anything about that?
Watched the tapes. The GI did not appear drunk or high. That he missed his plane is a good indication he was cutting it way too close to departure.
Maybe when he went back to ‘discuss’ the issue with the TSA puke, it got a little heated.
BTW - The cop looks to have used a “snap” (Brand name ASP) baton - a steel rod in other words. The use in most states is illegal due to the injuries and deaths from the use of that type baton.
Just for the record, if some TSA type told me he was any kind of officer (when I was active duty), I would have told him to stick it - big time.
