| 2017-04-12 |
| [RT] A police officer in Columbus, Ohio, who was nearly indicted for a past fatal shooting has been placed on indefinite non-patrol duty after he was caught on video kicking a handcuffed man in the head as he lay on the ground. On Saturday, officers with the Columbus Police Department nabbed Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! Demarko Anderson for alleged drug and weapons crimes. Police said while officers were responding to a report of shots fired, Anderson attempted to get away from them, according to WSYX. Anderson was eventually apprehended and handcuffed. Laying on his stomach on a sidewalk, Anderson, a black man, was approached by Officer Zachary Rosen, a white man who forcefully stomped on the suspect's head. The action was caught on video by a nearby resident, who posted the footage to YouTube. |

| #5 and are geographically ignorant, too True, the real Death Valley is a few hundred miles north of Imperial County. But to be fair to our Writer-in-Residence, it's still pretty desolate. |

| #4 Easy enough to see the rookie having trouble securing the suspect and the second fellow attempting the difficult 'neck pirouette'. 3.5 stars |

| #2 Is it because I was raised in a desert community in Death Valley between Yuma and El Centro with only buzzards to play with? You also swam in the irrigation canals, Hemingway. In your underwear. So, you had that going for you. |

| #1 Why don't I feel sorry for the man who got his head stomped ? Is it lack of empathy on my part? Is it because I was raised in a desert community in Death Valley between Yuma and El Centro with only buzzards to play with? The Cop was just doing his job, and seemed like a good Cop to me. Besides who are we to judge? Selling drugs and attempting to escape...seems like he was encouraging a little "hard love" there, from Sergeant O'Flaherty. You should be a little more understanding about what a Cop's job really means on a day to day basis. Society pays them real money to do these things so decent citizens don't have to do it ourselves. How else is your mother going to get to work? |
