Wow! Sounds like something that could definetly be published! I want to keep reading! You do a really good job with descriptive words, as my english teacher says, you show not tell. You make the reader feel like they’re somehow witnessing all this. Keep writing!

To describe exactly what happened to asshat in Georgia, I tackled him like an NFL linebacker, then his face met the pavement, several times; my size 9 and a half extra wide steel toed boots made good friends with his ribs; and the top of his head got well acquianted with the door of my cruiser. So it is understandable that my CO thought I was a liability to the force. I would think the same thing. It is also understandable that the base commander wanted me gone that very same day. It’s beyond my understanding as to how the charges were dropped. The Commanding Officer had just gone into deliberation with the Executive Officer when another junior sailor came in and told him that the charges had been dropped. The Old Man looked at me and said “Shipmate, I hope you know just how close you came to going to the brig and being processed out of my Navy. We were just deciding how long you had left on my base. Get out of my sight and don’t let me see you again. Anywhere. Period.” I threw up in the hallway outside his office.
I’ve since learned to control my rage at supremely imbecilic offenders, but it’s hard to reign in. It takes an obscene amount of self-control.

Appropriate force is necessary. Excessive force would be more than is necessary. Some force would be more than other force, of course. The cops are not there to be arresting officers, judge , jury and executioner. I disagree.

Its the bad cases like Louima’s that give rise to the Sharpton’s and the Mineos as well. The bad cases affect many things for many years. They don’t happen in isolation.

Excessive force is needed in certain situations, yes.

Situations that include the harming of a child.
killing another human being.
harming a helpless animal.
and racists.

I have, but I asked the individual to do it, off duty. Military police like me can be kinky bastards. However, on a more serious note, if it had indeed been shoved into his rectum, it would have caused severe internal bleeding. This is a collapsible piece of steel we are talking about, not a flexible piece of human flesh and cartilage. Perhaps the other officer’s field of vision was obscured by Mineo’s buttocks? I’d go with the law enforcement officers and the emergency room doctors on this one. No rectal bleeding was reported, no fecal matter was found during evidence collection (of course it could have been wiped clean, but not all of the fecal matter would have been removed) and lastly, there would have been an L shaped tear in Mineo’s pants/boxers, not a round hole, which could have been caused by routine wear and tear.

Have you ever had a baton rammed up your butt? Maybe it felt like 7 inches to him! I am sure if it did it hurt like h— and perhaps he has no frame of reference for length of objects in his rectum. The other cop said he saw some of the baton disappear…into WHAT? I’d go with the wacky, weed head accuser.

I’m just as anti-establishment as the next 80′s baby-cum-hippie, but um, as I see it… This guy was smoking in public, which probably pissed the cops off enough to rough him up. But I’m just really not buying something about this story… Two things in particular in fact…
1) If the attack was as brutal as suggested, there SHOULD be more physical evidence. Period. Blood, ragged undies, fecal material on the baton, tearing/bruising, SOMETHING. But what we have here technically doesn’t pass the reasonable doubt sniff test.
2) He contacted Sharpton. RED. FUCKING. FLAG.

(Missed you guys…)
