In 2 Seperate Instances Police Beat Down Suspects with Flashlights. (Damn Flashlights did it again! Message to Bratton: Remove terrorist racist folks off your police force).
Police will investigate two weekend
incidents in which suspects were hit in the head with flashlights while
being arrested by Los Angeles police officers, police Chief William
Bratton said Tuesday. Bratton said the two instances involved
"individuals being placed under arrest (who) were struck in the head
with flashlights," but were "not identical" to the June 23 arrest of
Stanley Miller, who was hit repeatedly by a flashlight-wielding LAPD
officer. One incident occurred when Ricky Palmer, 26, struck an
officer in the face, LAPD Sgt. Catherine Plows said, noting that it was
a "full-blown altercation" and "a fight for their lives." The other
run-in involved Christopher Salcido Carrillo, 20, hitting an officer's
flashlight during a struggle, the sergeant said. [more ]
