This may get buried, but it is rather important to me and I feel this thread shines light on brutality that occurs at the hands of local sheriff departments. My father was a victim of this and it has ruined his life. He has an Ivy League degree that he can no longer use because he is a convicted felon due to the city's sheriffs department trying to cover up their acts of brutality.
The story is that after an episode in family court (my dad has a history of mental illness), he was taken into custody and put in a holding cell where the two sheriffs took him and beat him while he was handcuffed. Now I know my father very well and he would never hurt a fly even if he was having one of his episodes. During this beating he was kneed in his ribs which caused him to fracture several ribs and gave him a large gash on his side. After this they left him knocked out in a pool of blood on the ground for an unknown amount of time.
For this incident my dad was convicted of aggregated assault against an officer of the law and is now a convicted felon. Now he is struggling to get by and trying to get his life back together 9 years after the incident.
TL;DR my dad is a victim of brutality by correctional officers and it has ruined his life.
