Washington: One of the two police officers who allegedly assaulted the 57-year-old Indian grandfather in Alabama has been arrested and FBI will be conducting a probe into the matter to find out if there were any federal violations in the incident.
Larry Muncey, the Madison City Chief of Police while apologising to the victim Sureshbhai Patel, who was wrongfully assaulted by two police officers, without any provocation just because he did not know English and was unable to answer to their questions, informed that Federal Bureau of Investigation will also be conducting a probe into the matter.
“I sincerely apologise to Mr Patel, Mr Patel’s family and our community. We strive to exceed expectations,” Muncey told reporters at a news conference.“Additionally FBI would be conducting a parallel inquiry to ascertain if there were any federal violations,”
Muncey said after he released audio and videos related to the incident.“As a result of the investigations, I found that Mr Parkers’s actions did not meet the high standard and expectations of the Madison City Police Department,” he said, adding, that he (Muncey) has proposed termination of officer Parker, who has now been arrested for third-degree assault.
Re: US Policeman who attacked Indian grandfather arrested.
But don't you think what Huntsville pd did was right?? Why does he need to be handed to India?? Wasn't justice served?
They did the right thing. I was just being rhetorical for asking the cop to be handed to india, no need for it. America has decent enough judiciary to handle it and indian community is strong enough to see through that the judgement is done.
Re: US Policeman who attacked Indian grandfather arrested.
What is up with the string of cop attacks on innocent minorities? Justice may ha e have been served, but it just feels like nobody who likes a Muslim is safe anymore....not even from those who have the duty to protect lives.
