Police break 13 year old's nose for refusing to confess to something he didn't do

"CBS) -- A 13-year-old boy says he was brutalized by Waukegan police late last month, and now two unnamed detectives and the city are facing a federal lawsuit.

CBS 2's Mike Parker reports.

On Monday, eighth-grade honor student and athlete Jonathan Garcia, his family and their attorney took their complaint to the Waukegan City Council.

"We are on a pattern on abuse in the city of Waukegan, which has now led to our children," the lawyer, Kevin O'Connor, said.

A federal lawsuit filed this week alleges that during a police investigation of a broken window, Garcia and another teen were taken to an interrogation room and held for three to four hours.

Garcia says he was roughed up because he wouldn't confess."

Why does he have an angry member of the Black Panthers guarding him?
 
Welp:

A 20-yr-old girl’s family has filed a lawsuit against a cop after their daughter was left in a brain-dead, vegetative state until she died.

Officer Cole, who was known as "Trigger Happy Trooper," can be seen on dashcam video Tasing the girl until she passed into a vegetative state.

She clearly posed no threat to the officer, but he Tased her anyway.

She was in handcuffs at the time.

Once he Tased her in her back, she fell to the pavement and became paralyzed.

She said, "I can’t get up."

The officer sneered, "I don’t want you to get up," as the high voltage electricity made its way through her limp body.

[...]

The officer was cleared afterwards and was not convicted of murder. Her family is hoping that will change.

This **** is just a symptom of the real problem. The real problem is that congress is legislating us all into criminals. There are millions of laws. You would think with that many that they would all be very specific but some are vague and ripe for abuse. Who here knew it was illegal to posses a permanent marker in a public place in Florida or New York? How could you know when there are millions of laws on the books. Congress can make new things illegal, not tell you about it and then arrest you for it. That sounds an awful lot like a police state to me. Its not like new laws like that get covered on CSPAN. They are usually buried within laws like the "protecting women from violence" act that no one will vote against.

Yeah. I remember when Ron Paul was running for President and said there were 22,000 new laws set to go in effect on January 1, 2013. He said he wanted to be the first President to repeal 22,000 new laws on day 1.

You're right though, if you make everything illigal, we're all criminals. Straight from Ayn Rand

Love that Sarah Silverman.

Congress doesn't pass a whole bunch of parking or traffic laws. Yeah, they pass a ton of laws and about 90% of them aren't really needed, but I think there's a bit of a disconnect--at least for me--between the actions of police officers in enforcing laws and the laws themselves.
