22 Year Old With Down Syndrome Beaten By The Police For "Bulge In Pants" That Was Only A Colostomy Bag!

"A man with special needs is speaking out after he was left badly bruised by police. Twenty-two-year-old Gilberto Powell, who has Down Syndrome, is left with horrible bruises and scars on his face after he had an encounter with police outside his home. "That's my son. That's my baby. I really love this little boy. He's my love," said Powell's mother, Josephine. According to the family, they were inside their Southwest Miami-Dade home last Saturday when Powell, who is also called Liko, called his parents on his cell phone to let them know he was walking a block from his friend's house. On his way home, Liko said, "The police followed me." Liko said, the officer smacked him in the face with an open hand and knocked him to the ground. "His whole hand," he said. According to the police report, a Miami-Dade Police officer noticed a bulge in Liko's waistband. The officer attempted to conduct a pat down, and Powell tried to run away. "I said, 'Didn't you know he was a Down Syndrome kid?' And he said, 'No, I'm not a doctor. I don't know.' And I said, 'Well, you can see it in his face that he is a Down Syndrome kid,'" said Josephine"

Do you think he should sue the police for that beating?

These POS never learn. Karma is a bitch and they'll all get what they deserve eventually.

It's cops like that who give all officers a bad rep. I'll never forget the time when I was stopped by an undercover cop. SMH!

^ What happened if I can ask?

But yeah this case is just sad but I thought I should expose these crazy ass cops to the members here!

Bastards need to get their own treatment to themselves..

(I think I mentioned this before)

I had just come out of a store buying fare card (MetroCard here in NY). An undercover cop approaches me and asks what I'd put in my pocket. I showed him what I had after I realized he was a cop, and went on with my business.

But, hey, stupid is as stupid does. Don't be stupid, and there won't be any problems. That's my philosophy of staying trouble free.

^ That is crappy..

What did he think you had [a weapon or something?]..

Sounded like racial profiling..

wow, whats weird is that I have a Colostomy bag xD and this one time walking out of Target The lady asked me what I had tucked under my shirt and THANKFULLY she knew what a colostomy was and believed me.

and to be honest, I feel for this guy, if someone ripped my bag off of my irritated skin, Id punch him in the face, IDC if it is a cop,

Drugs or something bc the card comes in a plastic wrap.

Such a crappy position to be in.

Because if you don't let him see what you have then he'll probably arrest you on some bullshit charge..

Sometimes I really hate cops..
