Alex Landau Refuses to Re-enact His Police Beating
Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 6:19 am
Breakfast reading from the Village Voice Empire: Landau was clobbered after allegedly making an illegal turn. The city wound up paying him $795,000, but the cops haven't been punished. The re-enactment's part of the investigation, but will it happen? Westword has the story.

WTF? I can't believe they even ASKED him to re-live a vicious beating that almost killed him. It's like asking a rape victim to show with the accused rapist what positions they did. Don't re-enactments often happen with look-alikes, anyway? Why is it so imperative that this victim plays a part in this particular role-play and gets traumatized even further?
Its not uncommon for them to ask the victim to reconstruct the crime. Sad, but true. Happens all the time.
IMHO the cops belong in prison and he needs to find someone to open a criminal investigation. He filed a complaint which is civil and while it may lead to a financial gain to him, won't take these rogue cops off the streets.
Colorado is worse than Ohio, FL & TX together.
So it would seem about Colorado, I've been reading on that case of the cops killing that homeless guy Kelly Thomas case, that is a sad, sad situation, the video says it all to me.
I've read a little on that case too. Indeed sad. These assholes should be dealt with with and in a most harsh way. I abhor people in positions of authority who abuse their authority. No excuse for these bullies.
It is just a ploy to keep from having to do anything else to these buttwipes... now they can say he is being uncooperative...geesh
If I were him I would insist on playing one of the cops and that one of the actual cops plays the victim this time.
