"I was minding my own business, you know, and they came in for the kill."
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA — A man says that while he was working on his tractor in his driveway, a van pulled up and a dozen men with rifles piled out and assaulted him. As they bashed his head in, breaking bones in his face, he believed they were there to kill him. It was later determined that police had attacked a completely innocent man due to a false police report, drawing questions about why police acted so brutally against a man who did not resist and made no threats.
The violence befell upon John Hytrek one day in August 2012 while he was working on a tractor at his shop. Without warning, Mr. Hytrek heard a van screeching up to his shop. When he looked up, roughly 12 men were sprinting towards him with their rifles drawn.
“They ran for me with machine guns,” recalled Mr. Hytrek to KMTV. “And I looked at them, and I’m like, what!?”
Hytrek was completely blindsided and had no idea what was going on. The trespassers tackled him to the ground, driving his face into a piece of steel equipment. Hytrek then says he was struck in the head multiple times.
“Five times,” said Hytrek to the local news station. “I think it was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.” He demonstrated the blows coming from multiple directions.
He was struck so hard that assailants actually shattered the lenses in his glasses.

What do you expect from idiot small town violent sociopaths in police departments across the USA?
just more of the same! sooner or later the public is going to start fighting back against these thugs! ask yourself one question are you more afraid of the criminals or the cops?
So they were charging this guy with assault and harassment. Yet he is the one that was assaulted and harassed. I hope he wins when he sues them and each and ever one of them that hit him gets fired and charged with assault. When will these bullies be held accountable for their actions.
L.E. is gonna pull this crap on the wrong person one time and end up with a force that all suffers a loss of wives or moms or some crap like that. I wish they would learn to follow procedure before some tragedy occurs.
Why does this keep happening? What happened to investigations and innocent until proven guilty. Sure if you come upon some psycho sexually assaulting a child. Killem. Whatever.
These assaults by paw enforcement are becoming an everyday thing
By all means I want l
E to ne harass and always get the bad guys but lets first make absolutley sure you have the right bad guy.
Its happening because they are not hiring the right people. And their training assumes that the public is combative.
If you only train your dog to react violently to a threat guess what your dog will do when threatened?
You can say we are smarter than dogs but when the moment arrives and your training takes over, because that is what happens, you will do what you were trained to do. if more training was focused on interaction, investigation and diffusion we would not be having these problems.
In turn the police are now training the public to distrust and fear them, so its a self fulfilling prophecy. The inevitable outcome is bloodshed.
New America.
Spell check buddy....Nazi America!

I have already made up my mind if something like this happens to me, and my family is not around, I will just shoot the cops and ask questions later.
Isn't that the same thing they are doing to us?
I would sue the hell out of ALL of them.
Welcome to the Millionaire's club! Just hire the right lawyer, and sue each person, entity, and org civilly and criminally. Give the lawyers their share, and retire on the rest

and we taxpayers pay for it all. not only is cops ineptness costing people their lives, but it is costing each of us dearly. how many hundreds of millions, or more, has been paid out because some cop shouldn't be a cop, or armed?
I think we should disarm the police and leave the people alone.
