Cop Beats Up Young Man with Down Syndrome for Packing…a Colostomy Bag

93. It is graduation time soon.

I live next to Ft. Campbell, Ky. and almost all of the cops here are extremely militarized. My Daughter graduated college 2 years ago. The H.S. and College use the gym to host these events. The security is very extreme, to the point of changing these celebrations into
military style, high threat situations. I left my Daughters graduation very annoyed because of the barking of orders to family and friends attending that event. I posted about it at the time.
I am not looking forward to my Sons H.S. graduation because I know it will be more of the same. The LEO's made their presence very obvious. Their numbers were excessive and their military tactics were not necessary, especially in an atmosphere of celebration.
There was approximately 1 officer for every 2 row section (maybe more as they were also walking the aisles). They shouted at and intimidated most in attendance. From the elderly to the very young. They barked instructions at the guests from the moment of entry.
They stood in front of each section and blocked the possibility of a clear view of the ceremony. When someone would attempt to move to an unobstructed area, like boot camp "inmates", they were loudly berated. Some who did not obey their orders were escorted out and a few were arrested. I have been invited to the college ceremony also this year and declined. It will be hard for me to enjoy the H.S. ceremony. I get so pissed hearing them loudly intimidate the helpless and those hoping to enjoy the ceremony that I have to bite my tongue and attempt to see past the "masters."
