Half unconscious man dragged, then almost had arms broken in stress position by cops

[Oldgamer]

The cops drag this man in half unconscious. They bang his head on the door frame, while dragging him. One cop purposefully pushes as hard as he can on the guys arms in a stress position behind his back almost dislocating his shoulder sockets. Then when he comes to and they put him on his feet, he sluggishly says stuff they don't like and one cop elbows the guy in the face repeatedly. All caught on camera.

How is someone half unconscious? You are either conscious or not.

 

[DesiPower]

oh man... I couldn't even watch it, had to close half way... damn...

This is the first time I have seen this btw. But was reading some of the comments. Apparently this happened in 2011. The officers elbowing the man in the face was fired, but then the police union arbitrator had him reinstated and the city sued, I think the officer had appealed of something. But I don't see any link with any updated info.

Ever had a concussion? Not sure that half unconscious is the perfect term for that, but that is what I guessed when I read the OP.

Looks like someone never played contact sports.


As for the op, that video is dated 2011. Any update?

I was looking for an update to this and wanted to find out the outcome of his appeal. Its not good to have these arbitrators putting "bad officers" back on the streets like this. The city wanted him to remain fired. This cop and his buddies probably cost them a ton of money in settlements I bet.

good god.

they had his arms yanking them while standing on his head. WTF

each one of those officers should be fired.

How can you ask this question? Half unconscious describes every post you make.

So what was the guy arrested for?

Denton was fired in November because his actions violated the Police
Department's policy on use of force, according to the city. However, arbitrator Edward Valverde ruled in June that Denton should be
reinstated, saying that although the officer used unreasonable and
unnecessary force, his actions "did not rise to the level of excessive
force within the meaning of existing case law."

Valverde reduced the discipline from firing to a written reprimand and
ordered the city to reinstate Denton with back pay and benefits.

The city has released police videos in which Denton can be seen stepping
on the head, stretching the handcuffed arms and appearing to elbow the
face of a Collinsville man who was arrested on a public intoxication
complaint on June 30, 2011.

On Tuesday, April 15, 2014, the court ruled in favor of Mike Denton, who was fired after an arrest on June 30, 2011.

Also this, though it looks like igas beat me to it (too many windows open at once I guess).

That elbow to the face = fired + sued.

We have to listen to cops.

You never...

1. Make a cop run
2. Film a cop
3. Talk back to a cop
4. Question a cop

When you meet a cop the only words out of your mouth should be "Yes sir, and No sir."

**Just my opinion because it's always a losing battle with a police officer.
