Teen Accuses Denver Officers Of Brutality.

But Quincy Shannon says it all happened when he called police about a police officer's behavior. Shannon said he and his friends were in a car trying leave a parking lot in Lower Downtown, but traffic was jammed. An officer apparently told the driver he had five seconds to move. "Before I could even explain we could not go nowhere, the officer behind him says, 'Why wait 5 seconds?' And opens up a can of mace and starts macing the truck," said Shannon's friend, Ramone Hernandez. Shannon said he ran out of the car and called 911 to report the officer. "About that time, right when I got to describing him, that's when he threw me on the ground," said Shannon. "And I'm yelling in the phone, 'I'm on the ground now. Help, help.' And that's when he grabbed the phone and yelled, 'You're an f-ing smart one,' and that's when he turned off my phone." [more ]
