In 2 Seperate Instances Police Beat Down Suspects with Flashlights. (Damn Flashlights did it again! Message to Bratton: Remove terrorist racist folks off your police force).
Police will investigate two weekend incidents in which suspects were hit in the head with flashlights while being arrested by Los Angeles police officers, police Chief William Bratton said Tuesday. Bratton said the two instances involved "individuals being placed under arrest (who) were struck in the head with flashlights," but were "not identical" to the June 23 arrest of Stanley Miller, who was hit repeatedly by a flashlight-wielding LAPD officer. One incident occurred when Ricky Palmer, 26, struck an officer in the face, LAPD Sgt. Catherine Plows said, noting that it was a "full-blown altercation" and "a fight for their lives." The other run-in involved Christopher Salcido Carrillo, 20, hitting an officer's flashlight during a struggle, the sergeant said. [more ]
