The 15-year-old boy was taken into custody at a party that he had attended. The officer said that he wasn’t listening to him, and that he was hard to deal with.
They also claimed he was “verbally combative” with no visible injuries.
When he refused to answer questions the deputy called Morrow hit him and said to the ambulance personnel that they didn’t see anything, but they were shocked and saw that the teen was bleeding. Afterwards when the officer got caught he said he lost temper and that it’s never going to happen again.
Witnesses said later that they handcuffed him first and then started to beat him up at several places in the face and neck region, not only the jaw.
Deputy Morrow was facing criminal charges of child abuse, second-degree assault, tampering with a witness and official oppression, and he has been suspended without pay.
Nothing unusual here… will get swept under the carpet in no time.
I hope that cop gets hard prison time, so he can “belong” to the inmates, and get beat down every day for 10 or 15 years.
fucking pigs. i got punched in thde face by one for refusing an illegal search
He’ll get probation and a fine. Case closed. He’ll never have to pay damages. He won’t lose his job. He’ll victimize someone else. And this will keep happening for as long as we hire these thugs and have this role of state policing to put them in. We need to consider the hard work of facing our own problems, ourselves. Rather than relegating it to unqualified, unintelligent steakhead frat boys who fucking hate each and every one of us. It’s why they’re cops.
While I doubt it will actually be effective I have created a petition to the President regarding the police brutality that is continuing and getting worse in the country. Please check it out and sign. The link is http://wh.gov/PHX8. Sign it and pass the word around. Need 25000 signatures in 30 days to get a response from the White House. At the very least we will get to see where the President actually stands on the issue. Lets get their attention and see what happens
