Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 03, 2025

A traffic stop because of alleged tinted windows led to a brief chase by Chester PD Officer Michael Brodzinski, who deployed his Taser three times on Wayne Vick (42) who then yelled out in pain from the shocks. Brodzinski then punches Vick in the face twice after being unable to secure his arm behind his back. Vick's supposed non-compliance could have been caused by the electrocution. But rather than use effective pressure points or ju-jitsu techniques taught at the police academies to ensure Vick's compliance, Brodzinski chose to pummel the helpless suspect's face. As a graduate of FLETC and the FBI Defensive Tactics (DT) program, I can attest that US law-enforcement personnel are not taught to punch a prostrate suspect in the face to ensure compliance.

Officer Michael Brodzinski ominously warns a female bystander: "Don't fight the police, Ma'am. It'll happen every time." Michael Brodzinski has been put on desk duty pending the outcome of an investigation and Wayne Vick remains in a county jail until his preliminary hearing on 10 June. A criminal complaint is just an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

American policing is simply gruesome, like the former Tonton Macoutes that used to terrorize the people of Haiti. Nothing has improved in years. Above, Chinedu Okobi lies on the ground in Millbrae, CA on 3 Oct 2018. Police officers used a stun gun, chemical spray, baton strikes, and physical force on the poor guy. San Mateo County deputies told the district attorney they were reacting to what they perceived as Okobi's "superhuman strength." Uh-huh. (Photo: San Mateo County Sheriff's Office via AP)
