- phenry, on 08/28/2008, -0/+27It's disheartening to know that, if the officers actions had not been caught on tape, the VICTIM of this assault would be going to jail. Looks like the video camera is an indispensable weapon against police brutality.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25Hearing the teeth breaking from the cop slamming his face into the concrete was disturbing.
Watching these cops striking the man repeatedly angered me. All of this was over an allegation he ran a red light on a bicycle?
What kind of people are being hired by the Denver PD? Psychopaths? Control freaks who feel the need to punch people?
The fact they lied under oath creates a problem for every arrest they ever made and every conviction that used their testimony. Clearly they have no integrity at all. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25google campaign for liberty

These officers need to be immediately removed from duty until this current investigation involving the bicyclist is completed. In addition to an "internal investigation" within the department, there needs to be a third-party investigation, in case the corruption is within Internal Affairs as well.
Further, every single incident these officers have ever been involved with, and are currently involved with, should be immediately investigated in light of the officers' obvious willingness to lie, their complicity in covering each others' false testimonies, and their complete disregard of their professional oaths.
IANAL, but if these officers are shown to be the liars they seem to be, then every guilty verdict resulting from their testimonies could hypothetically be reclassified as mistrials, and those convicted and jailed could potentially be freed -- even those who may have had a completely fair trial with honest testimony in their individual cases -- due to the questionable veracity of the officers' testimonies.
I somehow suspect the City of Denver would not welcome all the civil lawsuits for wrongful imprisonment this might bring about...underscoring the need for third-party investigations. - SaraLiberty, on 08/28/2008, -0/+18"To protect and serve"
Who, exactly? - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+18This video is hard to watch.That poor man getting his face smashed and teeth broken.
I hope the police are put on trial and get many years for this corruption!
I also don't think calling the 'guy on the bike' ***** was a proper way of identifying themselves
as undercover officer's. - Felix1085, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14The said part is that the man was going to visit his dying mother in the hospital.
What the hell is wrong with this country? - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14I wonder, is there any hope the police in this video will be prosecuted?
- Erich100, on 08/28/2008, -0/+13It will be very interesting to see what happens to these dirt bag cops in the end.
The outcome of this incident will be a fairly good barometer of where we stand with the implementation of the police state.
My hope is that they are held personally liable for the mans hospital bills, dental bills and pain and suffering. They should also be charged as any thug would be with an added penalty for abusing their authority. - GrandmaSheila, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11Scream it: gestapo brutality! There is no excuse for this, and you're seeing what YOU can expect.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+10video cameras are changing things in the occupied west bank, why not here in America? We are up against repression here.
Many cel phones take pictures and some take video. Learn how to use yours - Minarchian, on 08/28/2008, -1/+11There was an article here on digg a month ago or so that stated certain police departments have a policy to not hire anyone with an I.Q. over 120.
Just smart enough to do what they're told, dumb enough to not ask any critical questions about what they're told to do. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+11Cashman, the image of police has changed dramatically from the cop on the beat of the 60s and 70s. The career is no longer attractive to most young people, those who are attracted are exactly the wrong people to receive guns and power.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10and infatuated with the uniform and the badge and the gun and the power
- Minarchian, on 08/28/2008, -0/+7"their complicity in covering each others' false testimonies"
I hadn't thought of the fact of conspiracy too.
These bums need to be put in prison for decades as an example to other "cops". I am tired of reading about us civilians be made of as examples, it's time they are. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7Makes you wonder how many people are in jail because a camera wasn't present. I don't know how we've gotten to the point where we'll just walk by as a man is being beaten like this. The statement made by the cop at the end was sickening.
If they wish to continue having the us vs. them mentality, they're going to find out there's a hell of a lot more of us than them. Many of us are better armed too. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6Yes, once I realized that sound was his teeth hitting the pavement, it made me flinch. That is completely inhumane treatment. To have that much disregard for another person is indicative of sociopath.
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5If nothing else, carry a digital audio recorder with you at all times. Audio is better than nothing.
- JDenigma, on 08/29/2008, -1/+5Cops like this need a little time in the slammer where they will be graciously welcomed by their fellow inmates who will show them a thing or two about bullying. You know prisoners just love to welcome cops ;-)
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4And you can't get the sound out of your head for a while if you are like me.
To have that much disregard over nothing is chilling. The guy really didn't do anything wrong and certainly did not hit or kick the police. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2cashman is right, it does tend to haunt you....assuming you have some semblance of humanity in you.
How would you react if this were your father, mother, daughter, son, etc...?
Come on people! United we stand, divided we fall. I ***** you not, do this to a member of my family and I will kill you regardless of who you are or work for. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -12/+1Man deborah's skirt slit at about 1/4 in is such a tease
