Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 21, 2010

Denver resident James Moore, a disabled Army veteran, was standing in the street when he was approached by Denver Police Officer Shawn Miller and his partner. Moore wasn?t aware that a neighbor had called 911 to complain about noise coming from his apartment.

Before Moore knew what was happening, he was tackled by the officers, hog-tied with handcuffs, and beaten so severely ? with both fists and a blackjack -- that he flat-lined on the street while being treated by paramedics. Moore now walks with the help of a cane. Yet he was charged with felonious assault on an officer, and spent two years preparing for trial before the charge was dropped.

Officer Miller has been involved in at least two other documented instances of criminal assault; for example, he and another partner severely beat Jason Graber after the Denver resident gestured for the officer to slow down while driving through a crowded intersection.

Why should we fear gangbangers when officers of this kind are permitted to patrol the streets?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
