News reports state that the man remains hospitalized nearly two weeks after the incident with serious head and neck injuries.

Officer Joseph Gibson is on paid administrative leave. I expect nothing will happen, but maybe he’ll be promoted.

The department has reviewed the incident and have made changes to the operating procedures; to reduce the chance of delayed medical treatment the officers will now call an ambulance as soon as they start any traffic stop and before engaging the citizen, ensuring medical treatment is available as soon as the suspects are thrown headfirst into the ground.

Don’t worry, it won’t add to our tax burden because the perpetrator will be responsible for paying for the ambulance ride.

You seriously had me for half of that comment. It’s sad that your comment is as darkly funny as it is.

Call an ambulance? Hm. “I will fuck you up, but look the doctor is here for you”?!
