Lawsuit claims excessive force by Ignacio police

[damnedifIknow]

The lawsuit is based on an incident on March 16 or 17, 2013. It alleges that Mason and Phillips arrested Rubio and took him into Town Hall with his hands cuffed behind his back.

It alleges that Mason kicked Rubio’s right leg and broke it, sending him to the ground, then left him on the floor in severe pain for about 20 to 30 minutes before calling an ambulance, apparently waiting because the ambulance would have cost the town money.

The lawsuit alleges that Phillips did nothing to intervene or help Rubio, and that he and Mason then wrote a false incident report claiming that Rubio was already on the floor, tried to kick Mason and missed, and broke his leg when it hit the corner of a sink cabinet."

* Rubio suffered a spiral fracture of the large lower leg bone, the tibia. It was repaired with a rod running the full length of the bone, held by two pins at each end. "

1. K&R. This is what needs to happen,

each and every time, until the militarization and the transformation of this country into a goddamned police state is ended.

2. Shout it out, Shout it loud...proceed to an attorney...then bring in the Feds and the MSM.

This is what is going to break the cycle. Oh, and lots of cell phone cameras. We, the people outnumber them...put it on TV, and it goes around the world.
