I witnessed 2 Highway Patrol Officers beating up a homeless man. I was noticed but an officer, so I fled...? |
It was broad daylight and I was bike riding with some friends and we pulled under a shady tree and rested a bit. We've been riding for 4 hours straight. As we began to catch our breaths, I looked over to the Left and noticed a Highway Patrol vehicle parked behind a big wall. On the other side of the wall near the road was this homeless man pushing a cart. There were 2 officers and they began questioning the man. One officer whipped out his baton and cracked the man across the back of his head and the other officer started kicking and punching this helpless man. There were no witnesses except my partner and I. After beating up this man, one of the officers looked toward our way and noticed us under this tree brushel. Before, we could say anything, we took off, but had to split up. The officers jumped into their car and tried apprehending us, but since we're on mountain bikes, we were able to jump off the road and down the hill. I haven't heard from my friend and I don't know what to do? your reaction is normal and expected-many of us would have done,ran.the authorities,as depicted in movies at times,can be cruel,unfair and at times manipulate their power so first thing's first,don't be worried of the way you acted as it is totally justified and you shouldn't feel bad at all.next step,you should probably tell someone,probably discreetly of what you saw and continue accordingly-it's good that you noticed this and decided to tell someone online,as i'm sure plenty of others would have simply ignored it and done absolutely nothing. Just let them do their job. Zzzzzzzzz. that's what cops do, they take out the garbage besides they beat up the homeless man because he sold them some bad weed I would report the incident anonymously from a payphone. You don't have to give your name. i would report them You need to report this. If you are afraid to call the police and ask for a shift supervisor then call the District Attornys office. I wish you would have had a camera phone as the police will deny it ever happened. |
