[SPEECHLESS] African-American Teen's Genitals Destroyed by Cop (Yes you read that right)

Bigtexxx check out this site about the story it maybe the answers that you need.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/23/darrin-manning-testicle-rupture_n_4651700.html

 

so the kid ran from police, and then fought with them?

more details are emerging, which shows the original piece was biased and was possibly only half-truths...

 

Question: When is it OK to rip someone's genitals completely away from their body?

(hint: unless your answer consists of the words "only when a perv touches my daughter or son", you're incorrect)

 

It appears you are rooting for the kid to be wrong.

"She patted me down and then she touched my butt and then my private parts," he said. "And then she grabbed and squeezed and pulled my private parts and I felt something pop."

He was reportedly in handcuffs when the pat down occurred. The alleged assault occurred before he was handcuffed.

How is a police officer rupturing a 16 year old kid's TESTICLE during a pat down ... while handcuffed ... not police brutality or sexual assault or even assault?

Even if he assaulted the officer does that make it acceptable for them to injure his genitals after he is handcuffed?

 

I'm not rooting for anybody. I prefer to have a discussion around the full set of facts, and it appears the original post didn't have the full story. Are you afraid of the full set of facts? It seems like you're the one "rooting" for someone...

If we learned anything from the Trayvon Martin incident, it's not to let an initial biased article cloud one's judgment.

 

I may be wrong about the rooting part, my apologies if I am.

I am not "afraid of the full set of facts". I am making judgements based on the facts I have been presented with. I have read many articles from many different sources regarding this story and they appear to have a similar set of facts.

You only responded to one sentence of my reply. I will ask again ... even if he assaulted the officer does that make it acceptable (presuming the assault occured before the patdown) for her to injure his genitals during an aggressive pat down after he is handcuffed?

 

What if someone abused your dog?

 

A severe beating with several swift kicks to the gonads. If they happen to detach at that point, so be it.

 

Stop dodging the question.

 

Woah, let's hold the pitchforks on texxx for a bit folks. I'm as liberal as the next guy, but come on, that original story sounds like absolute Bull$h!t. Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe that a cop would deliberately tear a dude's nuts off? This is ridiculous. Now let's hypothetically say the teenager had a bunch of drugs, was armed, and resisted arrest (completely hypothetical), do you still see a way in which the end results is the dude's nuts squeezed and pulled by the cop so hard that they ruptured?

Sensationalized pieces of crap like this story end up hurting the cause of a very legitimate issue in our society today which is police brutality and unfair treatment of minorities, especially the African American youth population.

 

Here are a few local and more neutral sources reporting the story.

If the kid was found with drugs or a firearm he would have been charged with those things.

It doesn't matter to me if he actually resisted arrest. The nut rupturing pat down occurred after he was arrested and in handcuffs.

I understand why you don't want to rush to judge the story but don't start throwing out hypothetical (totally unfair to the kid btw) situations. I don't understand why you are voicing your scrutiny on the kid instead of the cop.

 

African American you say?

 

Was the nut rupturing collateral damage during a fight or scrum? Was it intentional? Need to know more.

 

I wouldn't shrug off permanently injured genitals as "collateral damage"

The damage was done during a pat down after he was arrested and after the alleged assault on the cop.

I am pretty sure the cop did not intentionally damage the kid's nuts. My guess is that she was being way too over-aggressive and brutish when doing the pat-down. It doesn't matter though, the injury happened while he was in police custody.

 

Could it have been a more aggressive pat down to ensure there were no weapons being concealed? After an alleged assault with a cop, perhaps some aggression was needed to ensure weapons were not present? Need to know more.

 

1. Do you bring this level of skepticism to every news report you read? If so, it's hard to imagine how you've managed to form as many immutable opinions as you have.

2. If you don't find yourself as skeptical of other stories, what is it about this one that has you bending over backwards to find any possible shred of justification for this assault?

3. What would it take to convince you that this is likely a case of police brutality?

4.And pray tell, how does yanking someone's nuts help to reveal weapons?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

 

I respect the work that the police do to defend us all. It's a tough job and they deserve the full facts if they're going to be tried in the court of public opinion. I also am firmly convinced that the media uses its bias to convince the "light thinking crowd" of its agenda on a daily basis.

 

People assault police officers and resist arrest on occasion ... this is the first reported time genitals have been ruptured in a pat down that I know of.

Per the kid, the cop reached down his pants, squeezed his testicles and pulled. That does not sound like she was searching for a weapon. Even if she thought his balls were a switchblade or a 1911 why would she squeeze and pull?

""She patted me down again, and then I felt her reach, and she grabbed my butt. And then she grabbed and squeezed again and pulled down. And that's when I heard something pop, like I felt it pop."

Like I said, I am sure she wasn't trying to damage his testicles but she still abused her authority. Police should be held to a much higher level of responsibility and be subject to intense scrutiny by the public.

What kind of information are you waiting on? This happened 3 and a half weeks ago.

 

Education and family structures are sorely needed in the black community in order to start to chip away at the viscious circle that leads to crime and poverty. A massive cultural shift needs to take place that weans black youth off of sports, drugs, rap music, flaunting luxury, and "crime as being fashionable" and begins to instill values of work ethic, respect for authority, prioritizes education, and prioritizes families with both a mother and father.

 

Education and a concentrated effort to wean whites off of myths about black culture are sorely needed in this nation. Blacks as a group are not more likely to use drugs, though they are more likely to be convicted of it.

Some of the things you mention are certainly worthwhile, but when it's mixed with bogus stereotypes it doesn't help in any constructive way.
