Trooper arrested after wedding brawl sues Pittsburgh cops

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pennsylvania state trooper sued Pittsburgh police on Tuesday, saying they arrested him on false charges and used excessive force — including a kick to the groin — when he tried to calm a rowdy groomsman following a brawl after his brother’s wedding.

Trooper David Williams, 35, of Plum, contends city officers falsely claimed he attacked them when, instead, they pushed and punched him for no reason, escalating a situation he was trying to help defuse.

Williams spent 17 hours in jail and was suspended by the state police for 10 days without pay before Allegheny County prosecutors dropped charges including rioting and aggravated assault — both felonies — at a preliminary hearing after the Sept. 1 melee.

If true, this is utterly disgusting. I have to think that there is more to the story, like the trooper was inebriated or something. At least I hope so

Let's see, his brother (The Groom) tried to sexual assault a pregnant server at his wedding, and he tried to pull the police card to get his brother off. The trooper also forgot to mention his buddy (a school board member) was involved and when the cops went to cuff him, he told them he had AIDS and that they were all infected and going to die.
Mr. Trooper should count his lucky stars the city dropped charges, and not be suing

Wow - you really should go back to school and learn to read for comprehension - or maybe you are one of those folks who never let the facts get in the way of opinion.

Who are you talking to? Maybe you should have included that in your rant. I guess insulting someone was more important to you.
