Cops in New York beat up Man while calling him Homophobic names
 |
| Original cops in Berlin. Has anything changed? |
Again on the week in which a police officer was indicted for murder in Ohio for the unnecessary shooting of a motorist because he was missing a front license plate and did not cooperate with the officer as he wished. With all the tools in an officer’s tool box which he had on his hands like a radio to have back up, he decided to simplified things and go for the ultimate, use his gun instead. He decided to shoot him in the head and end of story!
Now we have an incident in Staten Island New York City, which occurred 5 weeks ago. Here you have a mother committing the grave mistake in calling 911 to settle a domestic dispute between her two sons. The cops who answered the called (two units, four cops) decided to arrest the brother that stayed behind, because he was not being cooperative; But I believe as many that it was because this particular guy is gay. One of the cops would go further and say what cops use to say in the high days of the AIDS epidemic: “He spit on me.” It was usually a lie then and is a lie now. It was a way toas an excuse to an arrest or to bumped up the charges after the arrest. I was in a situation in which I called the cops for help on a civil matter and found myself being accused of spitting on a homophobic gay cop (Metro Dade).On this case the judge ripped into the cop before dismissing the case. I also started a case with IA.
Even if this was true and I assure you it’s a tactic to arrest you for assault on the officer, the response from these four officers of the peace was completely inexcusable and disproportionate under any standards of police conduct in the city of NewYork or the Western world for that matter. To Beat one guy by four cops while he is down is not only cowardly but it is illegal.
The only reason we are talking about this is because there is a video from across the street, otherwise the cops get the benefit of the doubt. Somebody asked, Are these officers crazy to beat up someone up knowing that they will be held accountable? That is just it, they are not held accountable.*
Even with the new program of implementing cams on the officers themselves, the cops and its Public hating Union wants to have the cop start the cams when they feel like it (language on the objection: To have the officers turn on the cam when there is evidence a crime is about to or being committed).
You have to be in kindergarten to not understand that if this rule were to be adopted (I doubt that it will) you will no longer have a need of cams since they will only portray and protect the officer from false claims by the public but it will not protect the public.* Just the fact they have implemented this rule in the testing phase of the cams tells you a story about the mentality of the majority of the season’s cops’ in NYC. They see us the public, as the enemy the “Us vs. them” mentality.
The problems with the Police force in New York are not complex and they are similar to any large city force. First, there is little or no accountability even after all the incidences that have occurred.
Secondly, the engrained mentality on the older cops of 4 yrs or more is the reason they believe they are cops. They don’t see the protect part of the equation but the enforce part and that enface part includes the stye of mind of the officer at the time anyone challenges their authority. They have been taught (by whom??) they should not allow d people to challenged what they are doing or they will loose control.
We can not have a force believing they can nt be challenged. They have to know that they enforce laws to all including them as offices. Not feelings of manhood, phobias, racism or political opinions.
Those two problems embodied what needs to be change and until this is changed the public that would need to call a cop for help is at danger of the same people entrusted with theirs, our protection.
Two problems that needs addressing*accountability* and repair their mentality to know the job is to *protect* the public

A gay Staten Island caterer says cops who were captured on video taking him down in his front yard, beat him while shouting homophobic slurs, the Daily News reported.
Louis Falcone, 31, wasn’t charged as a result of the June 19 takedown, and now plans to sue in federal court for civil rights violations, lawyer Eric Subin said.
“How can you do that - four people on one skinny, scrawny little guy?” Subin asked. “They’re criminals; they belong behind bars.”
A police source familiar with the incident said the mother called 911 about her two sons fighting and “tearing up the house.”
The source said that when officers arrived, Falcone was there, injured and banged up, and that his brother had already left. Falcone was confrontational and uncooperative, the source said, and spit in one officer’s face
before he was taken into custody and brought to Staten Island University North Hospital for evaluation.
Falcone, all of 150 pounds, told the Daily News that the officers pulled him out of the Midland Beach home he shares with his mom while investigating a noise complaint at 5:30 a.m.
He says they roughed him up while calling him a “f**”and a “f****t.”
Anti-homosexual slurs aren’t audible on the video, which was taken from across the street and was viewed by the Daily News. “While I was on the ground, I had mud and blood in my mouth,” he said. “One (of the cops) said, ‘Don’t let it get on you, he probably has AIDS, the f****t.’”
Falcone says his nightmare began around 4:30 a.m. when his brother arrived at the home “obnoxiously drunk” after a night of partying.
SUSAN WATTS/NEW YORK DAILY NEWSLouis Falcone, 31, wasn’t charged as a result of a June 19 takedown, and now plans to sue in federal court for civil rights violations, lawyer Eric Subin said.
“We had words,” he said. “I was yelling at him; he was yelling at me.”
After the argument, and an hour after his brother left, says Falcone, he was trying to fall back to sleep when four cops showed up at the front door.
The cops told him they were there for a noise complaint, and he described what happened with his brother.
“As I’m talking to them through the screen door, they’re saying to come outside,” Falcone recalled. “I said, ‘For what?”
Then, his dog Looch, part pitbull, began barking.
“The cops said, ‘Get your dog out of here or I’ll f------ kill it!’” Falcone says. “I was like, ‘What do you mean you’re going to kill my dog?’”
He said he was shooing Looch away when an officer yanked Falcone outside.
“They threw me against the concrete in front of my house,” he said. “My first reaction was to try to get up a little bit.”
On the video, one of the officers is seen entering the home. Then, the others try to restrain Falcone on the ground.

“Then they’re hitting me for no reason,” he said. “One puts his knee on my neck. They were all piling on top of me.”
He said he was pleading with cops to be careful with his foot.
“I said, ‘Please, I just had surgery on my foot,’” Falcone said. “One of the cops stepped on my foot. Another cop comes and steps on my head.”
Amid the fracas, it is not clear in the video if an officer stepped on Falcone’s foot.
Falcone says he was left with a broken nose, two black eyes, cuts to his face and body, and needed more foot surgery.
The foot injuries have made it difficult to work for the catering company that employs him, he says.
