Has Anyone Else's life Been Affected by Police Brutality?
Over the past couple months, there have been many instances of police brutality and police killings being reported that have garnered national attention – Mike Brown, Andrew Scott Gaynier, Ezell Ford, Dillon Taylor, Dante Parker, Omar Abrego, Jacinto Zavala, Diana Showman, Michelle Cusseaux, Joshua Paul, Joseph Jennings, Guillermo Canas, Chris Lollie, Bryce Masters, and many, many others



I thought I should share my personal experience about how my life has been affected by Police Brutality:


While a senior at PSU, where he majored in accounting, my Dad was a victim of police brutality. He was driving home to KC for the weekend, when an 18 wheeler veered into his lane causing a wreck. The Police arrived, and saw that he was Black, so they beat him - breaking over a dozen bones and leaving him with permanent brain damage. Eventually my Dad received a settlement from the Police Department, but the money didn't erase what they did, and it surely didn't make up for all the lives that were affected in the process.

My mother was pregnant with me at the time this occurred, so I never even got a chance to develop a relationship with my Dad before the incident occurred. I remember telling my Dad I would be going to college in a small town, just like he did, and I remember him breaking down in tears begging me not to... swearing that if I went to college in a small town, someone would kill me before I made it to graduation, just like they tried to do to him. I kept that thought in the back of my mind, every day for the entire fours years that I attended Lincoln University, and especially during my junior and senior years when I commuted twice per week between Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO and Kansas City, Missouri where I worked as a Supervisor at H&R Block.

I was fortunate that despite his injuries, my father lived to see my 30th birthday. That was long enough for him to see me graduate with my bachelor's degree in business, see the birth of both of his grandsons (my sons), and later saw me graduate with my master's degree in business. My father died at 52 years old, and while it was initially thought that his death was suspicious, it was later confirmed that his death was due to the brain damage caused by a stroke.

On the day my Dad died, I made this post on the planet - http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?p=5845168 - and I am still grateful for all the support that I received during that time.


If you have any comments or experiences with police brutality, please share them below


P.S. For those that are interested, you can follow along as I make updates about this topic on my blog - http://www.asknigeljohnson.com/stop-police-brutality/

Yep. Lost my badge for putting some punk's head through a window. He had it coming, that prick. I'd do it again. All worked out well in the end anyway. Can't get away with anything anymore, what with all the damn cameras/cell phone use.

Nope, never had any problem with cops either in my hometown or at Berkeley.

Hell, I was blackout out and belligerent one night with several cops around who were trying help some medics deal with a kid who had alcohol poisoning. Medics asked them to arrest me for impeding, apparently I kept "trying to help", and they said no and just let my friends take me away from the scene.

Yes one time. I am white and female. However, I've also been helped and assisted by cops more than that.

Sounds like he would be very proud of you.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

No brutality, just harassment.

My goodness, that's terrible.


After reading the OP, I admire how you pushed on. It takes a lot of character and strength to succeed after what happened to your family.

Damn sorry to hear about your Father. As far as cops, it was the other way around for me. I would have them show up at the gym where I taught martial arts and they would want to fight. Some of them were cool but the ones with an attitude were the ones I would "humble." I would always ask the question "do you want to go light, medium or full contact." I loved the clowns that would answer light and come with everything they had, I enjoyed those guys.

It was a long time ago. They were kind enough to provide a police escort to the ambulance. Apparently I had alcohol poisoning. That surprised me because I was only drinking what I normally did on a big night. I woke up restrained in a hospital bed with a catheter in me. I'm pretty sure I had slept off worse, so I was mildly annoyed. Found my shirt ripped up in the gutter the next day. That did piss me off, it was a sweet (and expensive) Punisher t-shirt.
