We called the Fairfax County police for help....the punks they sent threatened to arrest us. One cop tells my wife that if she keeps crying he'll arrest her and the other cop, La Forge or something, says to me "You call the police this what you get" I said that was wrong and he said "Go ahead, say more fuck'n thing prick" and I thought "Well if you insist".

Newly Acquired Audio Tapes may be Key in Police Brutality Case
Chicago - Newly-acquired audio tapes made during an arrest in North Chicago provide key evidence in a police brutality case there.
The incident happened in November and the recordings only recently became available. They were not part of the original police report, but the attorney for the victim says that these audio tapes prove that North Chicago police used excessive force against 35-year-old Darrin Hanna.
The family filed a federal lawsuit against the department saying that brutality is a pattern in the town, only this time, it resulted in someone's death.
Police were called to Hanna's home for a domestic disturbance. He was allegedly fighting with his girlfriend.
North Chicago Police say they used a taser but it malfunctioned. They admit to punching him in the face and striking his legs but insist they used reasonable, non-lethal force.
The audio tapes were recorded during the altercation over the arresting officers radios.
"And you hear Darrin Hanna pleading for his life saying, 'Put me down, put me down. They hit me when I'm down. They're going to kill me," said Kevin O'Connor, Hanna's attorney. "And then the tape goes off."
O'Connor provided photographs of a wounded Hanna that shows that he was struck 20 to 30 times.An independent autopsy revealed that Hanna's death was caused by trauma inflicted by the police taser weapon along with pre-existing health conditions.
O'Connor says the firm is handling 12 brutality complaints against the North Chicago Police Department that happened allegedly in the last two years.
The community is calling for the arresting officers to be removed and for the entire department to be retrained.
