Similar situation happened to me last year that a mentally challenged guy was driving a car, blew through a police checkpoint, they followed him for a few miles. He then struck a police officer with his car and drove down the WRONG side of the highway. Police opened fire, the driver continued to drive and hit me in my vehicle with 2 passengers, at which time he had already been shot a few times.
The family of course sued, and he was "harmless" and mentally ill. It was a ****ty situation and things become controversial when mental issues arise.
I also agree with whoever said on hte first page 90% of cops are power trippy, from my own experience and from other peoples.
I have no problem with this... this was hardly a "beating"....
I dont care if you have a mental disorder or not. If you are mouthing off to a cop and they pop you one, that is just the way it goes
LOLOL! I love the tough guy attitude. God help you if you ever got in a bad situation you would be the type to cry. I can tell by your post that you are just trying to be a tough guy. The great thing about is talking like one doesnt make you one. Cops need to do their job not the courts. Stop acting hard because your not.
And yet he almost killed a few people. The only problem I see is that they didn't stop him long before he managed to get that far. NJ needs higher powered handguns.

How is that a similar situation?
"mouthing off" isn't quite in the same league as "refusing to stop a motor vehicle, running down a police officer, breaking numerous traffic laws, and crashing".
Of course the family sued - this is the USA - if they won then we have idiots for a judge/jury (assuming there aren't some other factors at play you don't know about - though I can't think of any that could possibly matter) but it's got nothing to do with a police beatdown on someone they didn't like.
There was no reason for the police to even stop unless there's a law in Passaic that you have to have your sweatshirt zipped up. If they were smart they would have just made the turn and drove on but for some reason they decided to pick on a helpless man and find a reason to beat him. Hope you're proud of yourself officer Rios.
all cops are worthless.
anyway, im sure they stopped for a reason. they were probably called because they guy was harrassing and/or threatening people.
