Reply to comment by Vtfla in 5 Connecticut police officers charged after Black man left paralyzed following ride in police van by AudibleNod

Jesus Christ, I seriously thought it was an update on the Freddie gray case - just realized it’s ANOTHER black man tossed around a police van with a broken neck while society’s supposed protectors laugh and ignore the permanent damage and/or death they are causing a defenseless person

It's happened more than twice, in fact. Which isn't surprising since they put handcuffed people in the back of a metal van without a seatbelt.

Nickel Rides. I learned a name for this in history class, cops have been doing this for a long time.

I thought the same thing, and the police are still arguing that they have qualified immunity! Go America, where qualified immunity trumps all rights!
