BREAKING NEWS: Another Lawsuit Filed Against The City And The Same Police Officer

The case below is a new case involving a 14 year old CHILD who was beaten so badly by the Officer it may have broken his jaw and the child was hospitalized. Oh, by the way, it's been reported the child was stopped for not having a light on his bicycle. 

I know of yet another possible case that may be filed soon as well as two other people possibly filing suits in the near future. It's NOT looking good for the Salisbury Police Department. 

I will have more information being added to this case hopefully today, so stay tuned.

lol. i wonder if Jt fatboy is still supporting this bully of a cop ?

Anonymous said...

City residents no matter how this goes it is going to cost a lot of $$ to defend one cop and the police department. If it is true that multiple complaints were filed it's not looking good. So get ready for another tax increse to cover costs!

Anyone can file a lawsuit. Doesn't mean anything.

Is this the cop?

why wasn't this man let go sooner? doesn't make sense to me.

Why would the police department with a nut case like this running loose, not cut the ties with him and send him on his merry way.

Mayor...Corrupt.
Police chief corrupt.
Good ole boyd in charge...Priceless.

Joe, Is this guy still a cop at Salisbury?

Anonymous said...

Fire him just like the Ravens just did with Ray Rice.

Salisbury home of the cover ups.

Anonymous said...

I bet they will keep him, at worst on paid administrative leave right up till all lawsuits find him guilty or not guilty! He has a badge and did no wrong, don't you people get it yet! We are all criminals till we prove our inocence, that's part of the reason they approach your vehicle for a traffic stop ready to draw down on you. If you have commited a traffic violation you are also carrying drugs that is why they ask if you have drugs in your car, aren't most traffic violaters drug users or dealers?

The American people have been declared by our govt as the #1 terroristic threat to the gov't...just google it!

read the police report..better yet, watch Chris Rock's video on "how not to get your a$$ beat by the cops."

Since the patriot act all americans are the enemy. Police now enforce government as well as protect the corporations. Don't know how decent cop can sleep at night! This is not Mayberry anymore or even Adam 12!

read the cops side of the story which is listed below. dont jump to conclusions yet.

Remember - these guys are trying to obtain surplus military equipment for their safety. Next time, they'll run over the kid using an MRAP.

Lets not forget that the cop was doing this for the victims own good.

Thugs earning $$$$$$$$ through the city.

Let's see cop getting sued, mayor got sued (chambers) how much more can Salisbury handle?

Anonymous said...

Doesn't everyone know the cops kick citizens a$$e$ for their own good? If a sheep tries to get out of line and think for themselves the same thing will happen to them! Just wait we haven't seen anything yet!

The cop should surrender his badge and gun immediately.

This is exactly why I thought the public should have public access to arrest records made by all police officers. Then - it would be a lot easier to see personality trends whereby human rights violations could be maintained.

This is yet another prime example of police run-a-muck.

A captain announced his retirement after the first law suit hit. Duncan ran another good senior officer with 20 years experience out recently. Won't be long until she has another corrupt dept like mt vernon.

what kind of work do you do?

Put the kids bike in the trunk and give him a ride home. Stop making yourselves the enemy of the people. If you just talk to people without the Gestapo attitude, you will have fewer incidents. Momma used to say, "you get more bees with honey than you do vinegar." (In honor of Forrest Gump's 20th anniversary.)

I have an idea –

(For all those that attended the Chipman Center meeting about the need for a community oversight board to review the various police departments in Wicomico County – the speaker mentioned the need for anyone interested in filing a complaint against a particular police department to file the complaint to the United States Department of Justice) –

We need to all get together and file a [multiple complaint document] with hundreds (or thousands) of signatures. THAT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION!

What do you think about that Sheriff Lewis?

Anonymous said...

Lewis doesn't care. That's why he suddenly is a 2nd amendment supporter and will prevent the federal government from taking our guns, just prior to election time. Strange coincidence. Politician like the rest. Waste of an office to do good. When he ran for initial election his motto was he won't be a sheriff behind a desk. Well he has been right about that, he is never there, touring the country doing training while double dipping in our pockets. He is against the federal government yet takes handouts from them in armored vehicles. Waste of a sheriff's position.

Anonymous said...

It appears the officer is a recent graduate which included approximately six months of training. This coupled with his young age might be the cause of the Nepoleon Complex described above. If this guy stays with the department, he should be placed with an experienced menor to assist preparing him for the real world. If not, the poor choices and subsequent lawsuits will continue.
