I heard about this, I live near you..

Is the family going to try this civil since the criminal aspect seemed to be bs..

This kid got the piss beat out of him really bad by these guys.. and this kid was a decent kid.. its messed up the cops didnt get charged they should have..

If we beat someone like that we would see at least 10 yrs in prison.

Here are some images

and Here

This is what the police had to say..


According to the police criminal complaint, three officers on undercover patrol on Tioga STreet saw Mr. Miles at 11 p.m. Jan. 11. Seeing a heavy object in his coat and indentifying themselves as police, they ordered him to stop.

Mr. Miles ran and the three officers, suspecting he might have a gun and be under the influence of drugs, shot him with a Taser and struck him with their knees and fists. The complaint said the heavy object in his coat turned out to be a bottle of Mountain Dew.


Here is a bio on the kid

Teenager Jordan Miles, a violinist and senior Honor student at Pittsburgh's Creative and Performing Arts high school (CAPA), said he was walking that evening from his mother's house to his grandmother's house.

This is about par for the course. The "officers" involved we given awards and recognition. I love Pittsburgh, but I hate Pittsburgh for these types of things.

I wonder if they'll throw a party for those dirtbag cops like the FOP did here in Philly.

Cops geting away with abusing the public is reaching epidemic proportions, at least here in Pa.
