An Alabama police department today fired and arrested a cop who severely injured a man from India who was simply walking in the neighborhood and had committed no crime.
Sureshbhai Patel, 57, visiting his son in Alabama, was taking a walk last week when he was stopped and frisked by police investigating a “suspicious person” call from a neighbor. He explained to the cops “no English” and gave them his son’s house number. Then, the cops violently threw him to the ground, inflicting a spinal injury that has left Patel with partial paralysis in all four of his limbs. His family has hired an attorney and plans to sue.
In a speech yesterday, FBI Director James Comey praised America’s cops and refused to acknowledge there’s any problem or need for reforms.
