So this has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy but I saw this article and I just had to blog about it because I am just so disgusted by it.
Article: Homeless Mans Death Outrages Father
Read the article for all of the details but this poor man lost his son, who was severely beaten by police and later died. The following videos show how one bystander caught the beating on video, a before and after photo of the victim and the news coverage of what happened:
Beating Caught on Video
Before and After Pictures
News Coverage
I don't even know how to express my disgust for this situation. There is an FBI investigation under way to find out what exactly happened and I can't wait to hear about it. Of course, it will only be from the points of view of the cops who beat him to death and we will never know the full truth because the victim is dead!
I just don't understand it. So the guy ran. Ok so they taser him to get him to stop. But why did they feel the need to start pounding the life out of him, literally?! I just can't see how there would be any reason for it.
This poor man was schizophrenic and off his medication. He was scared and I'm sure he was powerful. But I still don't see why six police officers had to kill him. This is just so sad and I feel terrible for the family. My mouth was hanging open and tears came to my eyes when I read the article and watched the videos.
I really hope the police department steps up in this situation and fires these men because I just can't see how there is any justification for what they have done.
