i am writing this because i have a boyfriend who was brutally beaten up in 2007 by the springfield police department. they broke his jaw in 2 places and beat him down so much that i could not recognize him. the reason i know this is because i was also there at the scene and also got beaten up by the springfield police department. after his arrest the police refused to get him any medical attention at the scene. they waited until he got to the police station and was looked up and i was tossed around to allow the medics to take him to the hospital. the police laughed at my boyfriend as the blood poured out of his mouth. to top it of he and i were charged with 14 different charges steming from resisting arrest to disturbing the peace. he is currently in jail and has had 2 mistrials. with all of this the cops basically have gotten away with beating him up. he has 2 metal plates in his face. he may also need futher surgery on his jaw.
i am writing this to let peaple know that the Springfield Police Department has gotten away with a lot of things in the past few years. its not fair that our young men and woman of this city have to not worry about someone else doing something to them but also they have to worry about the people that are suppose to help them don’t.
