What did you think he would look like when he was caught? George Clooney on his wedding day?

This OP is making an apparent inference that just doesn't ring true. There is only one reason for this post, and that's to stir up trouble. If you have actual proof that Mr. Frein was abused, then show it. Otherwise, you just look like you're showing misplaced sympathy for a murdering psychopath. If that's your gig, you must love Dick Cheney.

This thread should be taken down.

You are so right. newcriminal Oct 2014 #20

Please stop justifying police brutality. Live and Learn Oct 2014 #36

And you know this is police brutality how? GGJohn Oct 2014 #46

Why? GGJohn Oct 2014 #58

It only takes one to do serious damage. And by the way, Live and Learn Nov 2014 #62

Besides here on DU, is there any suggestion that the cops were too rough with him? GGJohn Nov 2014 #71

Yes. Now, even the police are saying the injuries happened Live and Learn Nov 2014 #72

Jumping the gun... Whiskeytide Oct 2014 #7

The scrape maybe but the gash to the nose? his nose is swollen like he was hit scarystuffyo Oct 2014 #8

Maybe. I suppose we'll hear more about it soon... Whiskeytide Oct 2014 #14

The nose could have happened justiceischeap Oct 2014 #28

Perhaps. And skepticism is healthy... Whiskeytide Oct 2014 #43

Or it happened when they took him to the ground. GGJohn Oct 2014 #47

Nope, per the news reports, he surrendered and laid down on the ground. nt Live and Learn Oct 2014 #53

And standard procedure is for police to approach and put their knee in the back GGJohn Oct 2014 #59

If standard procedure is to break someone's nose, Live and Learn Nov 2014 #61

I didn't say that, GGJohn Nov 2014 #68

"ended up with a broken nose" LiberalElite Oct 2014 #39

IMO, he looks too clean shaven after 7 weeks on the run in the woods. PADemD Oct 2014 #32
