Connecticut Cops Brutally Beat Up a Suspect In Local Park

Three Connecticut police officers were put on administrative leave after an incriminating video of them beating up a suspect was released online by an anonymous user. Veterans of the Bridgeport Police Department – Elson Morales, Joseph Lawlor and Clive Higgins were caught on tape kicking and stomping on a man previously incapacitated with a stun gun.

A shaky video that goes in and out of focus captures the moment the suspect is shot with the stun gun and knocked to the ground paralyzed. One of the officers exclaims “Nice shot!” and walks over to the fallen man, kicking him as the other cop is standing by.

He quickly joins in and they go on kicking and stomping on the helpless suspect. Sirens can be heard in the background as another patrol car is arriving to the scene, and the third officer uses the chance to join his coworkers and land a couple of kicks himself just before the backup arrives.

There were a couple of witnesses observing the brutal beating, but that didn’t keep the cops from acting the way they did. President of the Greater Bridgeport branch of the NAACP, Carolyn Vermont, described the cops’ behavior as “totally unacceptable”.

“No person should be treated as an animal, no matter what they are charged with”, she said.

Police Chief Joseph Gaudett Jr. refused to reveal the name of the suspect or the charges against him, but it was confirmed that he is currently serving prison time.

The victim didn’t file a charge against the three cops but Chief Gaudett assures the public they’re currently on leave and under investigation.

    Dirty Secrets Police Hide From Public!

    Cops enjoy framing people for crimes cops themselves commit, cops enjoy using photo doubles to frame innocent people as pedophiles and cops enjoy using flyers to publicly destroy their targets reputation so no one will care that their a victim!
    Cops have a name for this type of crime they call it pedofying! they pedofy their target using rumors and flyers and then they sit back and allow neighbors to spread the rumors!
    Once the targets reputation is destroyed then the cops refer to that as pedofied! meaning they are done with destroying the targets reputation!
    Cops will contact schools in the targets neighborhood and will give the targets description and the school in turn prints out thousands of flyers to give to students and to mail out to parents!
    Police call this pedofying! they will pedofy people they know is innocent to destroy their targets reputation, thus isolating the target from any sort of help!
    Pedofying people gets them killed and cops know this they rely on it to get away with murder!
    Cops easily frame innocent people as pedophiles by using photo doubles and will photograph a double from the sides or from the back as the double follows children around!
    Cops will break into their targets home before executing a search warrant and will plant child porn on the targets computer!
    Cops usually destroy the targets reputation behind their back before they plant evidence and execute a search warrant!

    Another Dirty Secret Of The Police!

    When cops are accused of a crime no one in law enforcement and no one in news media will refer to a cop AS A SUSPECT!
    Cops are never labeled as suspect even when formally charged with a crime because police departments and news media don’t want people to associate the term suspect with cops!

    The only thing I see on these photo’s is a fat ass cop committing a felony battery on a victim that is already down on the ground!
    This is not police brutality, this is not excessive force, this is a illegal battery and the cop don’t care because he knows his bro’s with badges will not arrest him for it!

    We are seeing more of this kind of thing. Is it because I think we are moving toward a more brutal society? No. I think there has always been abuse of power. However, what this also shows is the power of social media and the power of individuals. We all carry cell phones so we are all potential reporters and recorders. The suspect was clearly compliant and not resisting. Therefore, there is no rationale for the first kick, let alone the second, third and fourth.

    The mere fact that people are labeling the VICTIM as a SUSPECT strongly imply s the man did something wrong yet no one wants to admit what that is!
    I have a serious problem with people labeling others as SUSPECTS when they refuse to charge them with a crime!
    False labeling of people is common with police they do this to people so no one will care that they are VICTIMS of cops!
    The ONLY SUSPECTS I see are the cops themselves BATTERING a man that is already down on the ground!
    To imply this is a lawful arrest is outrageous! beating a person that is already down on the ground is a flat out BATTERY WHICH IS A CRIME!
    The cops ARE the SUSPECTS and the person on the ground is clearly a VICTIM!
    Anyone that wants to label the VICTIM as a SUSPECT must be trying to cover the cops butts from prosecution!
    People use your eyes and figure out for yourself who the VICTIM is and who the SUSPECTS really are.

    “The victim didn’t file a charge against the three cops but Chief Gaudett assures the public they’re currently on leave and under investigation.”

    How can the victim file a charge when cops refuse to take his complaint!?
    The cops BATTERED the man and then locked him up! where and when is he afforded the opportunity to file a charge!
    Who is the person he is supposed to “File a charge “with I want to contact that person!?

    I can assure the public that Chief Gaudett is aware of the FELONY BATTERY committed by these officer’s and is doing everything in his/her power to cover the cops butts!

  6. terry wagar says:

    Why are you ignoring FELONY BATTERY being committed by two of your officers Chief Gaudett?
    Why is the video of the officer’s BATTERING a man when he is down not good enough for you Chief Gaudett?
    Why do you need to “investigate” your officer’s and not arrest them Chief Gaudett?
    Why do you admit your officers are under investigation yet refuse to label them as SUSPECTS Chief Gaudett?
    Even with video evidence your officers committed an illegal BATTERY you refuse to arrest your officers and refuse to admit their SUSPECTS Chief Gaudett!
    Your stonewalling tactics are clearly bias in favor of your officer’s/bro’s therefore the paid leave you gave your officers must be your way of rewarding them! Chief Gaudett!
    By the way why are your officer’s targeting the VICTIMS rib cage are they trying to permanently damage the Victims organs? Chief Gaudett?

  7. terry wagar says:

    What do I need to sign Chief Gaudett to get those officer’s arrested?
    What document can I sign that will guarantee that those officer’s are arrested and booked on felony charges Chief Gaudett?
    I will file charges on behalf of the Victim as long as it gets those officer’s arrested and booked!
    Please explain the procedure you have in your jurisdiction that gets a officer arrested.
