2015, when Madison Police Officers received a call about a "suspicious person" in the neighborhood. They found Sureshbhai, who couldn't speak English, injuring him after forcing him to the ground. Sureshbhai has been in the hospital since, and the Madison Police Department is investigating the force used by officers on the scene. (Contributed Photo/Chirag Patel)

6. 911 caller allegedy claimed the gentleman was "looking into people's garages"

Officers were called to the 100 block of Hardiman Place Lane Friday on a complaint of a "suspicious person" looking into the garages of several homes, the Madison Police Department reported in a statement released around noon Monday. When they approached the man, since identified as Sureshbhai Patel, they found that he did not speak English.

9. "they found that he did not speak English"

well hell, what better way to teach English as a second language?

I'll lay odds these bopunk sheriff deputies never took a vacation out of country, ever, hell they probably never got out of their county.

Something is seriously wrong with this .

7. Now we of course needd to know what ACTUALLY happened, sadly most of the info

has to come from the police.

Cant believe anything they say, of course.

8. Assholes.

Any non Caucasian who doesn't speak Cracker has GOT to be a tairist as they see it.

10. This is my town. Wait till I tell you about my experience as a middle aged white guy.

I was out of the country for several weeks and somehow missed paying my gas bill. A bill that I had paid without penalty for over 10 years but again I was out of the country. North Alabama Gas District disconnected my service and I complained. They sent a technician to reconnect along with a City of Madison officer. When I opened my front door the officer was the first to speak and continued to run his mouth during the entire process of the gas company reconnecting my service.

I was pissed. I asked the officer for a business card, he didn't have one. I asked for his name and badge number and he went into a "He-Man I'll kick your ass" diatribe. As soon as he left I called the City of Madison police department and asked to speak to the duty officer. I told him that there was no way I was going to put up with being treated that way. His response was that he'd watch the video from the personal camera the officer was wearing and get back to me.

Well surprise, surprise, that duty officer called me a couple of days later and asked if I wanted to file a formal complaint based upon what he saw in the video.

Is there any way anyone other than a middle aged white guy get's that treatment?

I say hell no!
