Police Still Investigating Alleged Beating of Disabled Man

What kind of monster would beat a crippled man and then laugh about it? This officer if you want to call him that gives all youngstown policemen and women a bad name. He is void of any trace of being a human being. How can you live with yourself? What raised this thing that has a gun and badge and time after time abuses and gets away with it? Who gave him the morals he has? He passed out, yea right give us all a break. He wants to now go home and live off the tax payers and cheat workmens comp. Funny he didn't faint after beating a poor man who could not walk or defend himself against his animal like attack. If you can not do the job, if you don't want to do your job,it's too hard, I get no respect yadda yadda yadda, then go find something else, but why force your mental illness on all of us. Who wants to hear your cries about how hard it is and blah blah blah, go find another occupation, or maybe this criminal is incapable of doing anything else but beat up defenseless cripples and women. He should be in jail right now instead of hiding at home and collecting benefits. They knew about his history of abuse and did nothing. Many people should be held accountable for this thug. Jimmy ( I need speech lessons) Hughes should be fired. Good officers are out there, but when they don't report the bad ones we all lose. We need better educated and trained men and women to wear that badge with honer. Let's stop scraping the bottom and hiring the worst and the dullest and start attracting some of the best and the brightest.

If you read today's paper, you come away the clear impression that the Internal Affairs Division of the Youngstown Police Department is no more adept at conducting an internal investigation of her officers than my three year old son might be. Chief Hughes sounded like a lackey, or someone so woefully misinformed about what his officers are doing that he actually sounded stupid. Isn't it time that we citizens of Youngstown got fed up with the haughty attitudes of YPD's finest and start asking the Department of Justice to investigate civil rights violations occurring in Youngstown?!
