Source: Raw Story
A Texas woman has filed a lawsuit against three police officers in Victoria, claiming that they brutally beat her and broke her ribs without a good reason.
Mary Frances Jones told the Victoria Advocate that the three police officers woke her up early in the morning on Dec. 22, 2013 over reports that a truck that she had purchased the day before had been seen driving in a local creek.
Jones said that she had been unaware at the time that her sons borrowed the truck while she was sleeping. After officers claimed that she was lying about owning the truck, Jones said she tried to go back inside her home, and thats when they forced her to the ground.
One of them had his foot on my arm, and the other kicked me and broke my ribs, she recalled. They hurt me. They hurt me bad, and they know they did.

(450 posts)so they can find the right type of personalities to fit the supposed purpose of policeman "to protect and to serve", and to start hiring people who are not self-centered, power-hungry, aggressive holier-than-thou thugs.

There will be blood.

They serve and protect the 1% and crack the skulls of everyone else.

(9,154 posts)when you call the cops on your kid when all he or she did was look crosseyed at you because they had a stomach ache, these are the people to whom you are sending your supposed loved one.

(23,003 posts)how does the public know if they are getting the good or bad versions when they call? I would be hard pressed to call the police to my house with the way things are now, because they could be worse than the problem I'm calling about. So sad when the cops are the real criminals.

(60,065 posts)bait his classmates into drag races. His dad would be down the road waiting. The son became a cop, was a brutal racist asshole. One day he was assassinated.
Our local fire department was where the KKK met. The fire department and police department shared the same building.
One of my classmate's dad killed a man. The cops went to his house and told his kids they had 24 hours to leave town. The three boys were not teen and preteen, and couldn't fend for themselves. They left town with what they could carry on their backs.
When a black family moved to town, someone threw dynamite into the house. The cops blamed the man that sold the house to them. They said it was his fault for selling the house to a n..... The perp was never caught.
