VIDEO: Seattle Police Beat And Taser Man For 5 Minutes
From The Seattle Times
Seattle police have launched an internal investigation into the arrest in June of a suspect by three officers who used their fists, batons, a flashlight and a Taser to subdue the man at the department’s Georgetown evidence unit.
The arrest, which was captured on a police surveillance video, came a day after the man was mistakenly released from the King County Jail.
Daniel Macio Saunders, 46, had been arrested and jailed June 6 for investigation of burglary and vandalism after he allegedly broke into a Rainier Valley church, naked and covered with blood. Saunders has hepatitis C, a contagious and dangerous blood-borne illness, which resulted in the cleanup of the church being treated as a hazardous-materials situation.

What is going on with the cops today? It just gets worse and worse. Or, has the proliferation of cell phones with video capabilities just made it more evident? How do we stop this madness? When did police officers get permission to be bullies? Remember when they were known as peace officers? When I grew up cops were the good guys, now I am wary of anyone in uniform. Apparently there seems to be a sense of entitlement to bully that comes with a badge. It’s not just our police either, the entire “justice” system is out of control!!!
We as black people, along with other people of color need to put down the petty misgivings we have and unite against a corrupt and inherently evil system of organized profiling, incarceration, and oppression. I have experienced the cold unjust hand of “their” legal system and it is severely flawed. We the exploited and targeted people of color, of an immoral and anglo-centric legal system must stand against this and bring forth the wrath of what ever god you believe in by any means necessary. We have been victims for far too long of a unbalanced separatist society. If enough people show extreme reactions to these blatant affronts on our blackness, our right to self-preservation and survival, hell our right to exist, we will be triumphant against the white anarchy machine that is this corrupt legal system of these Divided States of Embarrassment. Wake up from this dream, we’re all half dead and don’t know it until the Po-lice get us.
