City will pay $700K to N.J. man who claims he was attacked by cops, police dogs

Source: Advance Media/NJ.com

Atlantic City will pay $700,000 to a man who alleged that a group of police officers released a K-9 dog on him and beat him unconsciousness in November 2012.

...

After getting kicked out of a club for his drunkenness and then getting denied entry from multiple Atlantic City establishments in 2012, Charlie Harrison was driving down Pacific Avenue and swerving when officer Michael Oldroyd spotted him and tried to pull him over.

...

A confused Harrison began walking to Oldroyd before the officer “gave him a nice punch in the face” followed by several more, Bonjean said at the openings.

Soon after a K-9 bit him from behind, Harrison when to the ground and officers began “raining punches” to the point of him blacking out, Bonjean said.

This seems to be the standard operating procedure for ACPD.

Taxpayers must like paying for these sadists' pleasure. Read the rest of the story. Taxpayers have paid out $7 million for such behavior in AC alone over the past decade.

Nice to know she's there for the victims. Sad to know that AC hasn't figured out what's wrong with its police department, that or it just doesn't care how much money it costs to maintain a thuggish disregard for police-violence.

A friend of mine caught a beat down by the cops in AC about a decade ago after he complained about the beat down they were giving to one of his friends. It's never one officer. They come in a pack. Don't know what happened with his case though. Hadn't seen him since. Just know that they roughed him up good enough to put him in the hospital.
