Beating an innocent is so hilarious!
Police officers in Inkster, Michigan pulled Floyd Dent over for maybe, possibly not completely stopping at a stop sign and then brutally beat the 57-year-old man who had no prior arrests or convictions of any kind.
One of the officers, Bill "Robocop" Melendez has since been fired and charged with felony assault, mistreatment of a prisoner and misconduct in the brutal beating of Floyd Dent. Prosecutors dismissed the drug charges against Dent.
Now Inkster police have released an equally disturbing video, one they apparently didn't want to see the light of day:
“He is bleeding like a sieve, there is blood everywhere,” said Rohl. “The officers don’t seem at all disturbed by what happened at the scene. They appear happy, pleased, even celebratory over the arrest of Floyd Dent—a man who was just beaten kicked and tased.
As the officers continue wiping Dents blood off them, an officer decides to do a little acting. He lies down on a bench and imitates Dent being on the ground at the scene choked by Officer William Melendez. His acting seems to thrill rather than disgust his audience.
At the same time, Dent is suffering from a closed head injury, broken ribs, and a fractured orbital but had not been allowed to see a doctor for his injuries.
Watch the police laughing, fist-bumping and re-enacting the beating, all while Floyd Dent sits just off-frame, with several broken ribs and bleeding everywhere, pleading with them to call for medical attention.
