Cop brutally beats special needs student for not having his shirt tucked in.

Oh, and the cop is also charged with rape and might have possibly murdered his ex's new husband, as well.

Quote :

For the offense of not having his shirt tucked in, 15-year-old
special needs student Marshawn Pitts was slammed into a wall of lockers
and pounded repeatedly in the face by a police officer who broke the
boy's nose and bloodied his mouth.

The Dolton, Illinois teen told a local CBS affiliate
that the officer was cursing at him as he complied with the order to
tuck in his shirt. Then, "it was just like, boom!" he said.

....

"The academy is a high school for special-needs students who are emotionally disturbed or struggle with behavioral disorders," noted Chicago Breaking News.
"Marshawn was a student there because he suffered brain injuries when
he was hit by a car years ago, [family attorney Edward] Manzke said."

This incident can't have helped.

Let's see what other felonies our charming assailant might also have committed, shall we?

Quote :

The officer who brutally beat special needs student Marshawn Pitts has been identified as 38-year-old Christopher Lloyd, according to Chicago Breaking News, which spoke to Lloyd's father.

The news agency reported that Lloyd is currently in jail after being
charged with the rape of a woman he knew and is facing a 20-year
sentence should he be convicted.

The Chicago Tribune-backed service adds: "A lawsuit filed by
his ex-wife, Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her
new husband Cornel McKinney in front of their children outside their
home on the 6100 block of South Langley Avenue on Feb. 17, 2008."

This is the worst sentence I've read all month.

Jesus fucking christ. Yet another dickhole who seem to join the police so they can get away with anything.

If I were Dolton's chief of police, I would have kicked this asshole off the force five minutes after the story broke.

I do wonder why we are seeing more and more of this in the news lately?

I think it's because if a cop* does something wrong nowadays, the ubiquitous security cams and cell phone cams record the event and the Internet lets the truth get out before authorities can suppress it. In the past, it was much easier to hide the truth.

*This also applies to non-cops, but regular citizens don't typically have people in authority who are willing to cover up their crimes.

This is awful. What a piece of work that officer is, to say the least.

....

Bad as this is, I'm really working hard here to suppress my laughter and not make a joke about imagining Doc Brown kicking the shit out of this kid.

Oops. Too late.

Seriously, what the fuck? I...I have no words.
