Indian Grandfather Paralyzed After Encounter With Alabama Police

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/indian-grandfather-paralyzed-after-encounter-alabama-police-n305081

One week after arriving in Madison, Alabama, from Pij, India, 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel was stopped by police while taking a walk around his son's neighborhood. That encounter ended with Patel bleeding and temporarily paralyzed in Huntsville Hospital.

Patel had come to the U.S. to help his son, Chirag Patel, and daughter-in-law care for their 17-month-old baby while the younger Patel works as an engineer and attends graduate school at the University of Alabama.

"He was trying to run away from us.." lol , you can clearly see that the man did nothing but stand still, and this is another case of power missuse by the allmight police.
And the 911 caller is obv. a typical american, scared of his own shadow (he was scared to leave for work and leave his wife home alone..)
The world has once again gone mad, or is it US only ?

I'm sure there'll be a civil suit filed at minimum. If the cops don't wrap the thin blue line around this officer, then he might be held criminally liable. I doubt that'll happen tho. Most likely is the family will get a settlement which the taxpayers have to foot the bill for. Ideally, the officer's pension should be at stake here because of his behavior.

Actually the police was completely at fault here. The video clearly shows he wasn't running and was indeed walking in the opposite direction , to point them to his home probably to show them the documents and ID. He also said he didn't speak english when the cops approached him, so thats exactly what a helpless person would do - take them to his home where others can help sort the matter out. There was also no need to assault here since he was an old man.

The cops also had nothing on him, and the assault was completely unnecessary.

First the black shooutout, then the muslim shoot out and now this. Sad world we are living in

The US police officer has been arrested.

My goodness. This poor gentlemen. Imagine, coming from a small village/town in India and being a farmer and suddenly, you're thrust into the midst of this strange country, strange land, probably strolling his son's neighborhood and seeing open garages and marveling at the riches and trapping of this land he's heard so much about. And then this.

With cops like these around, who needs muggers/thugs?  >:(
I hope the case is taken to its logical conclusion and the cop is made to pay for this.

And the cop is released on a $1000 bond?  ???

Awesome justice system of `murica, i bet he will walk home free in the end, because after all , he was protecting neighberhood against "mad terrorist"
This is why noone wants to move to USA anymore, now its canada,UK..etc.
Enjoy your freedom uncle sam, im not stepping one foot there anymore.

Ideally, he will spend some time with a few of the people he locked up.

This, and other things like this, are reasons why I am regularly suggesting learning the things that Karl Lentz is teaching. Why? Because Karl shows us, among many other things, how to properly litigate the man who wears the badge, uniform and gun, rather than his office as law enforcement officer. Such proper litigating scares law enforcement, because it attacks their bond. If the bond is attacked successfully, both the man (cop) loses his job or worse, and the bond pays out to those who have been harmed by law enforcement.

One man, Denny Patel - no relation - said Parker has shown impatience and mild aggression toward people in Patel's Madison businesses, including employees.

"It's not this one incident. It's lots of them," he said.

Its hard to know the truth, without being involved throughout.

It doesn't matter if he has shown impatience earlier.
He should be made to pay for this incident.

The governor of the US state of Alabama has apologised to the Indian government for the treatment of an Indian man left partially paralysed after being thrown to the ground by a policeman.

Robert Bentley said the policemen used "excessive force" on Sureshbhai Patel, 57, earlier this month.

The officer involved was charged with the assault but has pleaded not guilty.

It isn't, it is (fittingly) in the 'Politics & Society' section.

The officer should be punished severely. But at the same time, Sureshbhai Patel's son should also be charged, for not accompanying his father who is not proficient in English. 

Chirag Patel wanted a cheap nanny, and therefore asked his father to come to the US. He should have at least accompanied him around.

there is no official language in the United States... wrong?

His father was taking a walk around the neighbourhood. Chirag would have considered the neighbourhood to be safe.
We now know that it wasn't.

The officer is responsible for this man. I hope he gets fine but after getting paralyzed, nothing much can help. Can't imagine that for just taking a walk, the police can be so cruel and the man was punished for nothing.

Well, cops breaking a Grandfather's spine? Why not? Shooting children or tasering old women gets boring after awhile.

and sure enough, unconscious people get beaten too:

Being an incurable psychopath must be a primary requirement for becoming a (US) cop...

It was one policeman.
Charges have been filed against him

Recent entry on youtube

"The guy who hit the officer got 20 years.

The cops who beat the unconscious suspect were fired -- then hired back with full back pay and benefits 2 years later.

That's justice in America today."

Obama should stop homegrown terrorism like that, before hitting ISIS

Looks like the cop has finally been indicted.

We need body cameras that operate 24-7 on these guys all the livelong day.
They find it reduces violence something like 80%.

If a few guys are made an example of, it may cause a shift in attitude of the entire force.

If anybody is curious about how this case ended, here is the answer.

Police officer acquitted in 'assault' on Indian grandfather

It looks like they have no physic control during application for working in police..The advantages looks like: beat everybody, be violent,use weapons in all occasions..what did old men to deserve this? Walking with the baby?! Is that a crime?
