A father and son, together with their realtor, recently discovered one of the many difficulties associated with living in a “see something, say something” culture. Roy Thorne and his son were held at gunpoint, arrested, and imprisoned despite the fact that they committed no crime, all because a neighbor informed police they were breaking into the house. Last Sunday, while showing Thorne a property in Wyoming, cops came on the site with pistols drawn and ordered them out. PBWW website has previously reported on many cases similar to this one in which innocent individuals engaged in lawful activities were assaulted, shot, and even murdered in similar circumstances. Fortunately, Thorne and his son were not murdered; but, as seen in the video below, a single incorrect move might have swiftly gone sour. As the video demonstrates, cops arrived in a tactical manner, brandishing weapons and screaming at the residents to leave the house. Despite full cooperation, the police maintained firearms

Clarence Gailyard, 58, a handicapped man, discovered this the hard way this week when he was assaulted by police for just strolling down the street. On July 26, Gailyard and a buddy were walking through his neighborhood when Orangeburg police officer David Dukes approached them, claiming to be responding to a report about a guy with a pistol. Without informing them of his reason for stopping them, Dukes drew his pistol and ordered the two guys to the ground at gunpoint. Despite the fact that they had committed no wrong, neither guy objected, and they both quickly obeyed. Gailyard has several pins and rods in his leg as a result of the surgery he had after a vehicle accident. As a consequence of his injuries, he often uses a cane and is sluggish. While he was following the jackboot's commands, his injuries made it impossible for him to swiftly fall to the ground. Officer Dukes was enraged by Gailyard's sluggish motions and began to accelerate his activities by pounding his head

Families calling 911 for medical assistance with their loved ones frequently get police assistance instead. Over the years, the consequences of dispatching police to medical crises have been absolutely disastrous, with innocent individuals in need of a doctor being met with fists, batons, pepper spray, and even gunshots. Travis Moya is the latest victim of this heinous ineptitude, having been mauled in his front yard by a K-9 for requiring medical assistance. Moya's attorneys are now requesting that the policemen involved face criminal charges for their conduct that day. According to a statement released Thursday, “at this time, no complaint has been filed regarding this matter; however, in accordance with our policies, a use of force investigation is being conducted in this matter, as is done in any instance of a use of force incident involving one of our Officers.” According to Moya's lawyer, L.
