With cops like these around, who needs muggers/thugs?  Angry
I hope the case is taken to its logical conclusion and the cop is made to pay for this.

My goodness. This poor gentlemen. Imagine, coming from a small village/town in India and being a farmer and suddenly, you're thrust into the midst of this strange country, strange land, probably strolling his son's neighborhood and seeing open garages and marveling at the riches and trapping of this land he's heard so much about. And then this.

I'm sure there'll be a civil suit filed at minimum. If the cops don't wrap the thin blue line around this officer, then he might be held criminally liable. I doubt that'll happen tho. Most likely is the family will get a settlement which the taxpayers have to foot the bill for. Ideally, the officer's pension should be at stake here because of his behavior.

The US police officer has been arrested.

Indian Grandfather Paralyzed After Encounter With Alabama Police

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/indian-grandfather-paralyzed-after-encounter-alabama-police-n305081

One week after arriving in Madison, Alabama, from Pij, India, 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel was stopped by police while taking a walk around his son's neighborhood. That encounter ended with Patel bleeding and temporarily paralyzed in Huntsville Hospital.

Patel had come to the U.S. to help his son, Chirag Patel, and daughter-in-law care for their 17-month-old baby while the younger Patel works as an engineer and attends graduate school at the University of Alabama.


"He was trying to run away from us.." lol , you can clearly see that the man did nothing but stand still, and this is another case of power missuse by the allmight police.
And the 911 caller is obv. a typical american, scared of his own shadow (he was scared to leave for work and leave his wife home alone..)
The world has once again gone mad, or is it US only ?

Actually the police was completely at fault here. The video clearly shows he wasn't running and was indeed walking in the opposite direction , to point them to his home probably to show them the documents and ID. He also said he didn't speak english when the cops approached him, so thats exactly what a helpless person would do - take them to his home where others can help sort the matter out. There was also no need to assault here since he was an old man.

The cops also had nothing on him, and the assault was completely unnecessary.

First the black shooutout, then the muslim shoot out and now this. Sad world we are living in
