- col381, on 12/10/2008, -8/+428The guy was tackled to the ground, handcuffed and then sodomised with a police baton (tearing his rectum and drawing blood) just because he was smoking a joint? Wow. I know this is hardly an example of normal police behaviour but this absurd "war on drugs" (read war on people) really has got to end.
- inactive, on 12/10/2008, -1/+227I think every cop should have a camera attached to their caps and be recorded at all times
- saharsamadani, on 12/10/2008, -4/+198This is why cops aren't respected. Give a guy a gun & a uniform and he'll do whatever he wants, and a lot of times, the consequences for a cop is far less severe than for any other person.
What a great system. - republicker, on 12/10/2008, -5/+151http://kopbusters.com/ Police corruption is widespread and needs to be stopped.
- ShadySpace, on 12/10/2008, -0/+125That skinny little *****'s a cop? Pervert looks like he's 12.
- freezerburn666, on 12/10/2008, -1/+110let me guess, suspended with pay? if you were a cop and raped a goddamn 6 year old high on PCP you'd still be suspended with pay i bet.
- T8erT0T, on 12/10/2008, -2/+72A conviction would be awesome. One day he's using a baton as a sex weapon, the next twenty five years someone is using him as sex sponge. May karma be swift.
- CrazedLeper, on 12/10/2008, -20/+90There is no war on drugs; there never was. The CIA deals drugs all throughout this country to pay for "black" ops, secret prisons and supply needed cash flow to an ailing economy. The "war" is a pretext to cover the warehouses and databases full of drugs and information about drugs.
This is a link to a video by Mike Ruppert. He is a former LAPD officer who was approached and offered an opportunity to join but he went public instead. He's documented it pretty well.

Furthermore, every war is a war on people. If you allow them to change the way you think, you will give them the power to cause you to accept the unacceptable. - inactive, on 12/10/2008, -72/+129Typical behavior from a gun-control state; corrupt cops.
- thotpoizn, on 12/10/2008, -12/+56Protip: if you are being sodomized with a police baton, things have already progressed WAY the hell past "a good idea" and shot right on into "this is a fscking nightmare" territory. And, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that the 2nd amendment was designed for.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 12/10/2008, -1/+40Lest they ***** you!
- angusm, on 12/10/2008, -1/+36"Dominance by sodomy - it's not just for dogs and convicts any more"
- eggsovereasy, on 12/10/2008, -0/+31Well here's the real story, a cop turned in another cop because it was the right thing to do. Normally they all just stay quiet which, to me, is tacit approval.
- kaelyiesta, on 12/10/2008, -26/+57This is where having a gun handy would be nice. I'd be willing to risk my life to protect myself from that evil abuse and thugs like these would perhaps think twice about risking theirs just to be abusive. These cops just don't fear people because not only do they have the bias of the badge to protect them from legal retaliation, but they have the sanction of our government to possess weapons.
I just wonder for every successful prosecution of an 'officer of the law' how many criminal offenses go unprosecuted or turned down by the courts? - tgjerusalem, on 12/10/2008, -2/+33If a cop wants to beat and rape you, and you have a gun on you, it just means you'll die when he's done with you.
If you manage to kill him first, it means you'll go to the electric chair.
Much as I would like to think I could protect myself in some way if I was attacked like that poor bastard, they're cops. You can't fight back, because if you do, they will kill you. - eryximachus, on 12/10/2008, -4/+34I live in this precinct and about 1 mile from this subway station. Despite the fact the three cops are white, black, and Hispanic - and the victim himself seems mixed, this is being treated as some kind of racial thing. I don't like that. They are only charging one cop, the 5'-5" weakling who I have hard time imaging would have been able to do this by himself. You've got to understand how it is in the city now. Cops are paid nothing, especially rookies. I'm 6'-1" and 185 pounds and I seem like a giant compared to most cops, including the one being charged with the act. The other two are only being charged with obstruction, but I can't imagine this didn't happen without one or both of the others holding the guy down.
Overall, despite the purported witnesses, something about this story just doesn't make sense to me. The police in my precinct are not exactly on the beat bringing order to the neighborhood. The news stories keep showing the "victim" crying in a hospital with Al Sharpton at his side. Every morning on NY 1 for the past week they have played the same story over and over again. It's just very hard to believe - this subway station is very busy. Why would the cop do this? There were also reports originally that a baton wasn't used, instead the claim was the antenna of a radio, which is ridiculous. Sodomizing someone with a baton would result in serious pain and I imagine his screams would have been heard by more than just a few witnesses.
I don't know, I'm going to keep an open mind until this goes to trial. If this did happen, I really don't think it was a power or race thing. These guys are just straight up sick, or they were corrupt and punishing the guy for something. - dave122, on 12/10/2008, -8/+37you mean writing speeding tickets and/or minor drug/alcohol related charges? If you think that 98% of what police do is saving lives you have your head pretty far up your ass. Reminds me of a shirt I had back in college.
"Campus cops, making the world safer one drunken college student at a time"
*****. - nickrct, on 12/10/2008, -0/+28If you know your history, then you know that Sodomy with a rod is nothing new to Brooklyn Cops...

They just have a fetish for it I guess - Doctoxicated, on 12/10/2008, -9/+36well that explains why Clay Aiken is wearing an "I love New York" shirt.
- Skooma714, on 12/10/2008, -1/+28I bet this will be ruled in-policy and they'll get off with 2 days probation and a coupon for 31 flavours.
- chanop, on 12/10/2008, -0/+27Another cop witnessed it and came forward (Source: Channel 4 news in NY)
- Zephyriah, on 12/10/2008, -1/+28comin straight from the underground
- CaptOblivious, on 12/10/2008, -0/+26If the good 98% would stop covering for the bad 2% we could have "proper respect" for them.
A good cop covering up a bad cop's actions is at least as bad as being a bad cop and might be WORSE than the bad cop. He knows better but still allows it to happen. - enantiodromia, on 12/10/2008, -37/+62oh wow, jwoulf is here desperately trying to connect any negative story to "gun control".
news flash: there are corrupt cops in every single state.
and if you think pulling a gun on a uniformed cop is ever going to be a good idea, you're living in fantasy land. - dkreezy, on 12/10/2008, -1/+26If this guy had a gun, he would probably be dead right now. seriously, think about it... he was high, and if you draw a gun on a cop, they aren't going to care about your bleeding rectum - they will shoot first and ask questions later.
- thotpoizn, on 12/10/2008, -0/+24Oh, well then that totally justifies a little good old fashioned ass-raping to teach him a lesson. At least now we know it wasn't completely unwarranted, eh?
/sarc - mrseptic, on 12/10/2008, -0/+24PShut up, pstupid.
- smotpoker, on 12/10/2008, -0/+24The cop who shot the iraq vet 3 times in the chest for doing as he was told only got suspended 1 yr with pay and fired despite video footage. He was never even arrested (though maybe if his victim had died as well they would have held him a few hrs...)
- inactive, on 12/10/2008, -5/+27So at what point should he have started shooting at the cops? When they tried to arrest him for smoking pot in public? When they were pursuing him after tried to avoid arrest?
It was after they had caught and tackled him for that that the officers cuffed and assaulted him. At that point getting to his gun would have been a little difficult.
Sorry to have to tell you, but carrying a gun is not the solution to every problem. - lolmax, on 12/10/2008, -0/+22well, that 6 year old shouldnt have been high on PCP
- almayng, on 12/10/2008, -2/+24Its the Napoleon syndrome.
- co79, on 12/10/2008, -3/+25Was it a five dollar foot long?
- inactive, on 12/10/2008, -0/+21What the ***** is wrong with people...
- sarixe, on 12/10/2008, -0/+20you mean "complex"

"Nice tin foil hat you're wearing. I especially like the antennae."
The "insanity" defense again? So lame. You admit the "war on drugs" is crap but you don't want to admit that it is a lie? You think it was a mistake? Do you still think the WMD story and the war in Iraq was a mistake? Or are you ready to admit that there was oil to gain?
The US was never serious about stopping drugs, they learned during prohibition that people cannot stop other people from ingesting substances (or doing *anything* that people want to do, and that any effort to do so will result in "black" markets and increased crime; that's why they repealed Prohibition.
Rarely does a sheep accumulate so much wool over its eyes. Sheep are for shearing, not hearing. Shut up, sheep. - tgc1, on 12/10/2008, -0/+20To serve and.... stick things in your ass? No thanks.
- kanundro, on 12/10/2008, -0/+20I'm not the least bit surprised. New York City cops have a habit of exaggerating and taking the law into their own hands. This isn't the first time its happened in New York and it won't be the last time.
I don't get why the police feel they have to "Stick together" because the "whole world" hates them. The world didn't decide to hate on police because they have a uniform and a gun, they hate them because of the stupid ***** their fellow officers do. Stuff like the article above states. I used to be affiliated with the department until i became a victim, i was "one of them" but they managed to turn me into one of the biggest advocates speaking out against them and their department.
I'm hoping one day digg will help me turn my message and my cause into a viral effort and end this nonsense once and for all. - backslashdigg, on 12/10/2008, -0/+20I thought the guy in the picture was the victim...he's the cop lol.
- SpacePoet, on 12/10/2008, -0/+20Well, there was the eluding and chase that hyped the officers up into their power trip adrenalin mode. At this point any normal person would have just done their job and arrested the person. It takes a sick power hungry authoritarian to take the next step, which is becoming pretty common place with officers of large cities. Something needs to be done, I propose cameras that can not be turned off on all cops at all times. When the cops can not be trusted society as a whole is at risk.
- inactive, on 12/10/2008, -1/+20I just re-read and this was all over smoking pot? This cop should get life being as he is trying to please not guilty... The guy hopefully had a medical exam to prove his case otherwise its his word against the cops...
If the cop actually did this I hope he does get sent to prison, a normal prison. I also hope the prisoners know he is a cop so he can have the same thing done to him. - shulkman, on 12/10/2008, -1/+20Don't run from the police. It makes them burn valuable donut calories, and drops blood sugar levels to the point they might do something crazy...
- orph3us, on 12/10/2008, -1/+20digg me down if you want, but cops can already be dumb, if this case had gone the other way, if this kid defended himself and killed those cops, things wouldnt be better, theyd be worse. The cops are now angry and afraid that everyone is carrying a gun, and the people are now afraid of the cops because they draw their weapons a little faster and maybe have an itchy trigger finger. In the short term your gun would have protected you, but in the long term, things have been made worse. Cops are humans, the only solution to this problem is to hope the courts are not corrupt and deal out some serious punishment. Also next time a marijuana vote comes up, bring this up as to one of the many reasons it should be legal.
- Notasheeple, on 12/10/2008, -1/+19With a baton no less.....
- nkleffman, on 12/10/2008, -4/+22Agreed. There are very few times I would use a lethal weapon, but to be protected from sodomy, uniform or no, is one of those situations.
- Nevermor7, on 12/10/2008, -2/+20Look at my profile pic. Nuff said.
- Tenlow, on 12/10/2008, -9/+26I think I'd rather go down in a blaze of glory trying to save my own ass, so to speak.
- ryanonfire, on 12/10/2008, -0/+17Didn't they do that in England.
Edit: Found it... http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-2340398 ... - pedo, on 12/10/2008, -1/+17you have to be really ***** crazy to read that story and think "cops ass raping a man with a stick is typical behavior in a place where guns are controlled"
- kiwiboyus, on 12/10/2008, -12/+27So you would rather he pulled a gun and was shot dead on the spot? Sorry but I'd rather keep my life and have these pricks locked up than be dead. I think you guys are really reaching with this one.
