KNOW YOUR RIGHTS read http://policecrimes.com/police.html - To the Police: You Are NOT the Enemy (Unless You Choose to Be.) The Supreme Court recommends you DON'T talk to police officers, but you must say out loud "I'M GOING TO REMAIN SILENT." Newly-released video footage revealed the incident that led to the suspension of two Meriden, Connecticut police officers. Both WTNH-TV and the Meriden Record-Journal obtained the footage of John Slepski and John Slezak’s actions last September while detaining an unidentified man they found unconscious and intoxicated on a local road. Slezak was subsequently suspended for five days, while Slepski was suspended for 60 days. Both men began serving their suspensions this month, though Slezak has reportedly filed a grievance against his suspension. The footage shows Slepski immediately calling the man a “fucking asshole” upon arriving at the scene, adding, “I think we oughta just fucking pop him. I think we should just pop him.” Slezak, who can be seen approaching the man from another patrol car, says in response that the man was “fine” and “just wants a ride to the hospital.” “Yeah, I know,” Slepski responds. “Fucking douchebag.” The two then discuss using pepper spray on the man, but investigators determined that the footage revealed no use of it during the incident. Police Chief Jeffry Cossette lit into Slepski in a disciplinary letter, calling his conduct “disgraceful.” “Your dehumanizing and demoralizing treatment of this citizen in need of medical attention sickens me,” Cossette wrote. “Your actions did not perpetuate the mission of the Meriden Police Department.” Cossette also criticized Slezak, telling him, “If a fellow officer is behaving in a demeaning and demoralizing way toward a citizen, you have a Duty to Act.” However, Detective and police union president John Williams said that Slezak did nothing to merit even a brief suspension. “What behavior did he have?” Williams asked the Record-Journal. “He cannot control what comes out of Slepski’s mouth.” Disturbing Dashcam Video Catches Cop Plotting to Shoot an Unconscious Man in Need of Medical Help. Meriden, CT — Responding to reports of an intoxicated man asleep in the middle of the road, a Meriden, Connecticut police officer said, flatly, “I think we oughta just fucking pop him.” If by now you still have any lingering doubts about the widening disconnect between police and civilians — or the culture of violence and contempt rampant in police culture — this footage could tip your opinion. Though the incident was captured on video by dash camera and audio by body cam, it was only released on Thursday following a Freedom of Information Act request by the Record-Journal. Officer John Slepski arrived on the scene on September 19, 2015, and approached the sleeping man — whom he immediately referred to as a “fucking asshole.” Officer John Slezak, already standing over the clearly intoxicated individual, seems as if he’s attempting to mitigate the potential that Slepski might go overboard in the interaction. “He’s fine,” Slezak says to Slepski, “he just wants a ride to the hospital.” “I know … fucking douchebag,” Slepski responds, obviously annoyed he’s been summoned to help a citizen in need. “I think we ought to pepper spray this fucking douche.” “Alright. You gonna pepper spray him to get him up?” Slezak asks. Though the video appears to show Slepski following through on that plan with a brief burst of spray, and his statement, “Whoa. That’ll wake you up,” Lt. Sal Nesci somehow determined, after an investigation, no pepper spray had been deployed. In repeated attempts by the two officers to stir the man, Slepski continues to use vulgarities and is alarmingly disrespectful — particularly considering the man likely needed medical aid. Fortunately, this attitude and behavior didn’t escape his superiors’ attention. http://www.PoliceCrimes.com If you feel you've been abused by the police, you may learn how to file a police complaint here: http://policecrimes.com/police_complaint.html police brutality harassment abuse officer misconduct ethics video cop filming complaint Police Crimes corrupt police brutality, police harassment, police abuse, police officer, police misconduct, video, cops, police video, filming, police complaint, police corruption, taser, brutality, harassment, abuse, officer, corruption, police, crimes, police crimes VIDEO Meriden Police Plotting to Shoot an Unconscious Man in Need of Medical Help Police Officer Would Rather Shoot and Kill Man Needing Medical Help
