Shreveport Woman Beat By Cop While In Custody

A police officer has been fired after an incident in which a female prisoner taken into custody on suspicion of DWI wound up lying on a floor at the police station in a pool of blood.

Much of what happened was recorded on a videotape -- but there is a gap of undetermined length. During that time, the woman wound up injured. She said she was beaten up; the officer said she fell.

What does a guy in a uniform feel like beating up a defenceless person, let alone a woman? Cowardly, poor-spirited barbarism on his behalf in my opinion.

Anybody ever experienced police brutality? Me and two of my friends helped a man in his fifties a few years ago, when two men were beating him up in the middle of the street. It was downtown and at night, but it was an area with many clubs so there were quite a few people on the streets. They were so into beating that man, that we couldn't seperate them from him and so we just knocked them down. Turns out the two bastards were undercover cops acting in arbitrary law. Two other cops in uniform appeared and we heard them telling the guys to get away from the site since "our colleagues" are approaching. They took us to the police station in handcuffs and let us out the next morning. They didn't tell us anything, not even what happpened to that man who was attacked by these two cowards.

Crikey that's extreme LD.

I've never been at the forefront of police brutality.

It's not too surprising when you consider Wiltshire is the second safest county in the country. I don't know which is the safest or if that means The UK, Britain or England. Regardless it's safe. Having also worked for the police in the past (3 years) I reckon most of them are pretty solid and respectable guys.

I also live in a fairly affluent area which tends to mean less day to day crime. Of course it happens it's just less likely.
