Just Another Reason Why Cops Don't Want to Be Videoed

Just yesterday, I commented on why cops don’t want to be videoed, well unless there are advertising and network dollars to be made.

Currently, in Battle Creek, Michigan, another case of cops beating an individual is making the news.  The case involves an individual by the name of Dujuan Rose, and two Battle Creek cops by the names of Ryan Lapratt and Andrew Olsen.

Lapratt had been fired by the police department, after the incident, but somehow escaped actual justice in the case in a jury trial.  Video not-with-standing.  You can view the video and story of the beating by the Battle Creek cops at the link.

The incident took place in December 2006, and due to the Ryan Lapratt’s skating away, Dujuan Rose is suing the two cops for $10 million.

I wish him success.

Has this incident and ongoing doings shown up Radley Balko’s radar?
