POLL! Another Case of Police Brutality! I know the victim and need help!
POLL: What should come out of all this?
 Sam should get paid, and the officers fired
 Sam should get paid, officers let off

Hello GLP, I need your help!
A black ~55 year old co-worker of mine who lives in the City of Rochester (I will call him Sam) was beaten by police WHILE HANDCUFFED AT THE POLICE STATION.
Here is the information I can provide:
Sam Lives with his wife, his 36yo son, and his 34 yo sister-in-law. He and his wife own and pay for the house, the two "kids", combined weight of over 600 lbs, mooch the food and shelter in the house while not paying for it, and using their money to get high. Sam decided he was fed up and told them they must contribute of leave. Sam's wife wasnt of fan about how adamant Sam was to eject the "kids" from the house, and called the cops. The cops arrive and ask Sam if he and his wife own the house. He said yes, and their response was "your under arrest". Sam, a kind hearted man who served in the armed forces obeyed the police officers and went down town. While handcuffed at the station, Sam's wife was talking to police officers and feeding them general "crap" to make him look bad (typical angry wife).

The officers didn't like what she had to say, and proceded to beat handcuffed Sam until he was unconsious, splitting open his lip, kicking him in the face, shredding his t-shirt that was covered in his blood from the multiple police assault, and chipping a tooth.

Sam woke up in the hosital, handcuffed to a bed with two officers gaurding his room. The doctor made a comment to him along the lines of "The police messed your lip up so bad I have no idea how to stitch it up".

Sam was in a wheelchair unable to walk for 2 days, needed stiches INSIDE his lip, on the outside, and under his chin. He missed work for a couple days and is in pain all day especially while working.

Sam is a good man. He obeys the law, and obeys cops' orders, even when they are being bullies.

I didn't type this up to cause mayhem and anger, but rather get suggestions on what I should do to help Sam. Currently I plan to call the police station he was brought to, record the call, and ask them in what circumstances they are permitted to beat a handcuffed man in custody until he is knocked out.

This case infuriated me, especially since I work with the victim and know that he wouldn't do ANYTHING that would justify a beat down.

Worst part of all he asked what he is getting charged with that made him deserve this beat down. He was charged with "Harrasment" and was forced to sign (while in a wheelchair) a piece a paper that forbid him from going back TO HIS OWN HOUSE, where all his clothes, food, work gear etc are) for 30 days!


What should I do, and what should I suggest for him to do?

MODS: I accidentally posted without adding poll options:
"Sam shouldnt get paid, officers should be fired"
"Nothing more should happen"
"Officers should be arrested and tried for assault and Sam should get paid"

That another issue personal to Sam. Its the fact that persons sworn to protect and uphold the law, paid by my taxes violated the law and assaulted a kind hearted old man

That is more fucked

Not that I disagree with you what kind of bitch lets that happen? I always he how Sam is riding his bike to the store for his wife for this or that. I dont know his personal life but it seems he's as kind to his wife that he is to his co-workers

Sam should contact Al Sharpton. The story will then make national news, and the officers involved will apologize or face suspesnion.

I don't trust stories like these. Sam could have been combative.

I was arrested once, as they went to search me I jerked away. In 5 seconds flat they had me on the ground. Unharmed.

There are cameras all over a jail. And people watch those cams.

If Sam spat at the police even, that is battery. So.

Sorry for Sam. But I don't think the story went assaid for many reasons.

Sam is absolutely not they type of person to do any of that. He has told me stories about what police have done to him before (He rides his bike to work, got pulled over three times in a week for random reasons each time (Thought his bike was stolen, thought he didnt have requires lights when he did, etc), and everytime he explain what he did and its always way too passive. He always obeys what they ask, doesnt fight back.

Another example was when they asked to search his back pack when he got pulled over on the bike for "no lights". He allowed them and the cop proceded with w/e. The cop then asked to search it AGAIN, and he still allowed him.

I'm a pacifist and even I think he needs to be more assertive when dealing with police.

Sam sounds like the combination of a few different GLP threads roaming lately. I doubt the validity of this story. If OP really cared he would have linked to a police blotter, local police station, somewhere where we could try and force help for Sam.

No doubt Sam sounds like a good guy, and the addition of his race makes me think OP is baiting us.

What doesnt add up is dude was at the station, beat up for what his wife said. Now, if Sam was still at the crime scene i may buy it.

Also, just so sam knows. In America the teens would have had to be evicted with notice. Since they had lived there so long. Even if they are kin.

Sam should forget about sueing. He needs to get out of that house. Fuck his wife and his mooch kids. Anything he wins against the police will eventually go to the kids so until he is divorced and the kids out of his life he should get nothing.

Sam needs to immediately open a new bank account and start putting his paycheck into that. If he has a savings account, he needs to empty it out, if his wife hasn't already done so.
