http://eepurl.com/Mci4f Cops say man ‘hit his own head’; video shows otherwise

By Lexi Morgan

LAS CRUCES, NM (INTELLIHUB) — On Dec. 23 Russ Flynn, already jailed at the Las Cruces Police Department over a parking dispute with his neighbor, piped up by “talking back” to police from behind his cell gate which unfortunately garnered an unwarranted response from two LCPD officers who soon-after bum-rushed Flynn’s cell, quickly opening the gate to gain entry. Their intentions were clear.

Once inside Flynn’s cell the two cops, in true roid-rage like fashion, proceeded to viciously attack Flynn, roughing him up, just before smashing his head against concrete walls, kneeing him and slamming him to the ground which ultimately fractured the man’s skull.

You see at the time Flynn was of no threat to the officers as he was already locked in his cell securely. He was merely “talking back”. Police are trained to take a decent amount of verbal abuse from their detainees, it’s part of their job. And surely a few comments and a small display of frustration don’t warrant the savage ass-beating of a defenseless handcuffed man by any means.

Yet even more grotesque and disgraceful is the fact that a report filed by the officer’s says that Flynn hit his own “back and head against the wall” and that the heavy blows from the officer’s knees were “to distract him from grabbing the officer’s belt”. However, video evidence tells a different story one that’s not so favorable to the police.

Flynn spent “days” in the intensive care unit at a local hospital to recover from the severe battering two LCPD officers gave him and now intends to sue the “City of Las Cruces” over the matter, demanding “$12,500,000 as a full settlement”.

“There needs to be repercussions”, Flynn’s attorney said.
