So who performed battery on whom?
From this video it would seem that the detainee was on the receiving end of the battery. This is disgusting.
Wickedness, the Commissioner needs to control these rouges in police uniform. Now this man has to spend money, time and energy to defend himself against this foolish charge.
All he had to do was comply with the instructions of the police in the first instance.. not that I will ever agree with what happened to him that’s abuse in all form, but there’s a saying in the army… obey orders and complain afterwards. Now he is being charged
God don’t sleep, according to the public outcry and the video footage it seems as if the battery came from the police officer…, but who am I to speak?
Imagine he has a disability and brain problem and at his age like handling an child did you all find out how this policeman approach this man did he do it in a good manner, because he is a policeman you think he need to treat that man that can be his father shame shame on you all
Wickedness in the highest degree. Whether he complies or not. Why not ticket him. Anyway KARMA NEVER MISS ANY ONE.
You have the nerve to charge a man of that age who could be your father or grandfather. Just give the man a stern warning and let him go on his way
Under the leadership of the Police Commissioner who has allowed this type of abusive behavior by his officers.
In turn he has been allowed by the attorney general to run a police department primarily to serve he and his boss Gaston Browne needs and wishes.
Most of the population is at risk for this type of treatment.
The abuse is wrong, but why is he driving if he has these medical issues. Let’s suppose for arguments sake he was driving onbthe freeway and had some sort of attack and press gas instead of brakes and mash up somebody. We all need to be responsible. The police also needs to take responsibility for their actions.
GOD never Sleeps
1735 for his insolent self. He sat in the chair when being spoken to by the officer. The officer didn’t go by himself, he was called to remove this aging THUG. You never to old for lickle bread and hard cheese. You dunce boy didn’t see assault because you didn’t go station. Life goes beyond the video clip idiots
@Stone:
Nothing excuses the officers behavior, especially to a senior.
Know the story before commenting. The Police’s arrogance is to blame and his family must take legal action. Yes he was parked on the pavement. He was first approached agressively by a plain clothes officer who did not identify himself until the old man told him to get out of his face because his breath was stink. That angered the plain clothes officer who got angry and left, returning with the uniformed pig. They both must have seen the handicap sticker on the car if they were doing their job properly. Then the rest is on the video. A simple traffic offence escalated by police who have no manners and no upbringing and obviously no empathy. This was a frail old man who could have been their great grandfather. Under any circumstance this was unacceptable and wrong. I hope those cops are disciplined and dismissed and then sued for everything they have.
