I don't even know where they got the idea to hold his ankles in the air. Did they get off on watching Abu Ghraib videos while smoking stolen dope?

Dude, the kid was very violent and don't the police have every right to defend themselves. they held him to prevent him from hurting them. They held his legs but how can that cut off his breathing? They put handcuffs on him, so what. I've been restrained myself for being violent. I couldn't get a full picture in my head what was going on so maybe I'm missing something here?


But they refused to call the paramedics I read.


Your point is well taken. I'll remember to read the posted articles, from now on.

Holding his ankles in the air with his head on the floor is a method of torture, not of self-defense. I think that the police thought it was funny when they did that.

From the sound of all this, I'd make the following equation:

Those particular officers = zombie fodder

To some of them it's just a game of "yank the ret*d around."

Those aren't officers, they're heartless. (pun intended) They deserve a good fifty or so slashes with the Keyblade...
