Las Vegas cops beat down man in Diabetic shock

[Melensdad]

I normally defend the actions of police officers and give them the benefit of the doubt, but as my daughter is a Type 1 Insulin Dependent Diabetic this one hits too close to home for me to give these guys unconditional support.

So if you are diabetic you may not want to go to Las Vegas . . . the chances of getting your ribs busted and having the hell beat out of you is too great. And all you'll get for it is money. Your attackers will remain nameless and receive no punishment for beating you. Watch your blood sugar out there.

Sitting here watching this video, Bob.
So it would appear the cops assumed something untoward was going on with this man.
I AM APPALLED at the treatment he received, on the assumption that they thought he was under the influence at first???????????
They kicked him before they even KNEW what his medical condition was!!!!!!!!!!!
This really pisses me off..
Having been married to a Type 1 diabetic (Steven was since the age of 17) who died from shock in my absence, I find this most disturbing.
And they called a man with this condition a Motherfucker..
I hope they ALL lose their jobs.
They should have searched his pockets before assuming a damned thing.

Added: they asked if anyone was hurt amongst the team of officers, then laughed later.
Piss on them.. look what they did to him.

Glad this is captured on video.
Silly bastards..
Pardon my French..

pardon nothing, let someone beat those wads for injuring a mistreating an ill man & have the prison guards (where they should be), laugh, swear @ them & look the other way on that while thier new roomie they hafta call big bertha has some playtime w/ 'em. put 'em in 4-point leathers then lay into them like that, too. see how they like it.

I feel sick..

well, this is going to be very costly for the dept. and rightly so. I think it also shows a gap in training.

Silly bastards ...

Frayed knot; according to the article, ONE sergeant was "disciplined" and they are all still on duty. Can you say,
"Cover up?"

And they aren't "silly bastards", at least in my opinion; scum-sucking, bottom-feeding, cranio-anal-retentive
bastards ... at the very best.
