Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 4, 2012

Denver Police Officer Eric Sellers once choked an innocent pedestrian into unconsciousness while two other officers refused to intervene. A few weeks later, Sellers attacked a young man named John Crespin because the officer thought the kid acted ?nosy.?

Sellers put Crespin in a chokehold while spitting obscenities in his face. After handcuffing the victim, Sellers used his police baton to lift the young man a couple of feet from the ground, then dropped him face-first into the driveway. He then brutally beat him into a bloody, lumpy mess before charging him with ?felony menacing.?

Sellers was not fired, let alone prosecuted, for his crimes. John Copeland wasn?t as fortunate.

Two weeks ago, the elderly man ? who is hard of hearing ? used his cane to defend himself from what he thought was an attack in a parking lot. The assailant was a volunteer police officer. Several police later materialized and dragged Copeland out of bed in the middle of the night. He has been jailed on a charge of felony assault ? not because of the severity of his supposed offense, but because of the identity of the supposed victim.

By any rational measure, the Denver Police Department is that city?s most notorious street gang.

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