’)Cop or criminal? Man beaten/tased by Police at baseball game (Video)
By: Patrick Bateman
A few weeks ago a fan was beaten and left badly injured by two thugs outside of a Dodgers game. Baseball fans were outraged and the story gained mainstream press spurring on an intensive search for the suspects. It is assumed that when these two thugs are found they will be brought to justice. Oddly enough a similar incident took place this past weekend at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game.
A fan by the name of Scott Ashley, 41, was the victim of a vicious unprovoked attack. Luckily the identity of Scotts attackers is known, unfortunately they will not face any justice and will be paid to continue attacking innocent American citizens. Yes, these latest two thugs were cops. Scott had been enjoying the game as well as some drinks, not unlike many of us.
During the game he was involved in a verbal confrontation with a staff member at the ball park and was asked to leave, and so he did. As he was exiting the stadium he was giving a fellow fan a high five when another staff member pushed his arm down. Reacting to this initial physical contact Scott gave the man a small shove back and continued walking. At this time two Police officers (thugs with badges) decided it was best to immediately taser Scott in the neck. Because Scott is a man and not a scared weakling like the Officers assaulting him, he remained on his feet. One of the officers then decided tovcontinue the assault with his club. Still Scott remained calm and does not go after the cops or anyone else; in fact you can hear Scott ask the officer not to hit him again. The cops then continue the beating of an unarmed man who did not once raise so much as a finger to them.
Of course these cowardly cops will keep their jobs. Why? Because not enough people will care enough to get them fired. I think of cops and other government employees as people who work FOR me, I and so do you pay their salaries with out taxes. That is why it is so upsetting when something like this happens. The people of Pittsburgh should demand these two fired, unless they want this to continue happening. Imagine if two guys without badges had senselessly beaten that man because he had too much to drink and mouthed off. They would be thrown in jail. I feel that because we entrust police to protect us they should be held to a higher standard and that these two in particular should have to face a judge and jury, and should have to be locked in a room with Scott. The video shows neither one would last two seconds with out weapons one on one against a real man. These guys are not hero’s, they're weak thugs who deserve to get a taste of their own medicine.
