A disturbing dash cam video shows a group of Michigan police officers pouncing on a mentally ill man who was doing nothing more than standing on a residential street try to fix his bicycle chain.
The first Dearborn cop pulls up, steps out of the car and begins donning gloves – a usual indicator he is about to get physical.
And sure enough he does, insisting on patting Ali Baydoun down for weapons, even though he was not doing anything that would have given the cop a reasonable suspicion that he had or was about to commit a crime.

If you are doing nothing wrong . . . why do you care? The police are here to protect us. They must get tough every now and then to keep us in line.
ReplyDeleteJust like when your momma spanked you as a child. Now the police are our parents
It's getting out of control folks.
ReplyDeleteConvenient that they rolled off camera as they beat him up.
ReplyDeleteI work with the disabled and this made me cry.
He has no understanding of what is going on or why. You don't tell the disabled to shut up.
You can not comprehend just how horrific this incident truly is.
Sue the MF'ers.
I hope that's sarcasm 10:19. If not you are a sad individual.
ReplyDeleteThe guy's bike chain was off and he couldn't figure it out. A decent person would have offered assistance, not a take-down of an obviously disabled individual.
