Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, March 26, 2025

Three Arizona officers who were involved last year in the violent arrest of black man who is deaf and suffers from cerebral palsy have finally been disciplined. In Aug 2024, police bodycam video showed Tyron McAlpin being repeatedly tased and punched by Phoenix police after they responded to a call about a white man loitering at a convenience store. The video captured two officers jumping out of their patrol vehicle and immediately punching McAlpin at least ten times. The three officers were given "24-hour unpaid suspensions" and two of the officers were also required to attend "additional de-escalation training." Warning, you may find video disturbing: youtu.be

I'd bet that doesn't stay up much longer.

Hi Redial. Or the city elders may keep it up as a Potemkin Village. Either way, "something is rotten in the state of Arizona" to paraphrase the Immortal Bard.

Not if Lewzer's "Only Straight White Men Rule" initiatives find it.

Even the police union abuses the privileges afforded.

Phoenix sounds like a great place to end a career.

I sure hope the cops scolded the deaf man with a "because you don't listen" as they were assaulting him.

Let's face it, the cops are right about that. He didn't listen.

Arizona is just another state that my wife and I will never visit. At least the poor guy filed a lawsuit against these vicious Brownshirts: abcnews.go.com

I'm surprised PPD Officer Ben Harris didn't sue Tyron McAlpin for breaking his hand.

Die Warzau - Land Of The Free

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free

I'd like to own a mountain
It moves me like a hurricane
Why you see me as the enemy
While I'd like to be an angel

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free

I'd like to meet the President
He moves me like a hurricane
Why you see him as a murderer
Well, that depends on the color of your skin

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free

Got to have devotion
To meet the man in the Sasquatch suit
Pure white face, white, white skin
These are the keys to freedom

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free

I'd like to tell the children
Why they starve and why they die
Why the man in the mansion
Gives them the dirt and him the sky

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free

Ergo the people
When the hand the kills is the hand that guides
Why are we the chosen
When the one who speaks is the one who dies

Free in the land of the free
Free in the land of the free
