Indianapolis, IN — A deeply disturbing video has sparked an internal investigation into an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officer after he was seen throwing an innocent man — who is recovering from brain cancer — to the ground and savagely beating him. The cop was in an apparent fit of road rage and the incident was captured on surveillance footage.
The disturbing video showed the unprovoked assault of Tom Trickle as he stood in his driveway on West Banta Road Thursday waiting for the delivery of a refrigerator.
According to several of the residents in the area, people often speed down West Banta despite it being a residential street. The IMPD officer was one of these alleged speeders.

a bad apple in every harvest.
ReplyDeletenot saying the cop was in the right, but show the whole video. it goes from the two of them standing in front of the car, then immediately they are fighting about 15 feet in front of the car. what happened in between, and why is it not being shown?
ReplyDeleteProtecting and serving.
ReplyDeleteHow many f'ing bad apples are there??
Of course, it's ONLY the ones caught on film.
No one else.
The rest are nonviolent, peaceable, friendly guys and gals.
I'm not surprised he was such a bad-ass with an old man.
Usually, they wait for 5 or six more agents to show up before the 5'5" storm trooper shows everyone what a tough guy he is......but ANYONE can beat up an old man.
An investigation? What are they looking for? Something in the old man's background they can use to justify the attack??
"He yelled at a kid 15 years ago!! --- he had a history of violence and INSTIGATED the officer!!".
Case closed.
Until the old man's son from North Carolina comes to town to see how tough he is when he's facing a 35 year old man.
For, you know, some "justice".
It's crap like this that makes people hate cops.
ReplyDeleteWas the video edited to not show the "savage beating"?
ReplyDeleteWho the F do you think you are. How many officers who have something to prove said this today? There are alot of good officers who dedicate their lives to serving others. There are a lot of officers that have no business having the honor of serving others. Throw him in gen pop and tell the block he is a cop.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the bonehead be flipping off anyone anyhow?
ReplyDeleteThose idiots start shit and then when they get their ass beat they throw out something like the cancer pity party.
If you were concerned about your cancer then you shouldn't be out in the middle of the road screaming at police officers and flipping them off. You shouldn't be doing that to anyone. Ever heard of "be kind" or other quotes. He deserved what he got.
You cop haters can kiss my rump!
START shit???
ReplyDeleteYou mean flying down a residential street at 50 mph?
I GUARANTEE that cop would not have turned around if the guy was 6'2'' and 230 lbs and 28 years old.
If he did, there would have been an ass-whipping. For sure.
Just not the one he expected.
A badge is NOT an exemption from the law. A badge should be the EXAMPLE of law.
Call me crazy now for thinking such a thing.
