Nightmarish Hospital Visit Capped by Beating, Accident Victim Says
Edited on Wed Sep-01-10 01:11 AM by tblue37
This is what our society has become. Those who think they have "police" power, even if they are just private security guards, beat up people at the drop of a hat--even if they are injured patients in a hispital. Check out this story!
http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/08/25/29858.htm

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (CN) - A man who was hurt in a car crash but was misidentified as a cancer patient claims security guards at Prince George's Hospital beat him up when he tried to leave the hospital to avoid chest surgery he didn't need - "to have a potentially cancerous mass removed from his chest." He adds that one guard repeatedly called him "bitch" as he roughed him up.



Wheeler says his ID bracelet "contained a name that was different from Mr. Wheeler's, appeared to be that of a woman, and had a birth date that was 13 years prior to his own."

<snip>

"At this point the two officers put on black padded gloves in front of Mr. Wheeler and defendant Scott started to hit his fist against his own hand and moved closer in proximity to Wheeler's face. Defendant Scott appeared angry and agitated."

<snip>

"Defendant Scott continued, 'I don't care who you think you are, this is my camp, you listen to what I got to say!' The vocal officer then grabbed Mr. Wheeler and pulled him up off of the ground as Wheeler pleaded with the officer to stop hurting him. "At this point the defendant Reese said to the vocal officer, 'Man, ease up on him. He might really be hurt.' Defendant Scott replied, 'Hell no, he don't come up in here and be telling us what the fuck to do!'"

<snip>
I hope the guy gets the many millions he is suing the hospital, the security company, and the guards for.

Wanna bet that jerk security guard--and many of the actual cops we read about who assault citizens all the time--are hopped up on steroids?

1. Yea you are actually right.
But there is more then one types of steroid.


And to be honest, those that have noticed odd correlations. Guess what, many people in jail sent their by circumstantial evidence are innocent.

If you have noticed the facial similarities in videos, guess what, many people in jail sent their by eye witnesses are innocent also.


And most cops are more good then bad, if they can keep out the bad stuff that can get into them from being around some more difficult types, takes a certain type to not take that stuff in.

Some get power happy also.

2. You had me until the "steroids" accusation.
Because that's when it got stupid.

Look, if you don't understand steroids, that's fine. Don't broadcast it, though.
