According to Officers John Baird, Ron Previte, Steven Brown, James Ryan, Thomas DeGovanni, Edward Spangler, and hundreds of other cops convicted of felonies since the 1970's, every officer the Philadelphia Police Department routinely robs, defrauds, extorts, assaults, tortures, frames, lies, perjures, conspires, and/or otherwise feloniously victimizes the taxpaying citizens who pay their salaries, or at least covers up for cops who do. Cops are rarely held accountable for their crimes.

As Askia's beating video graphically evidences, Philadelphia cops deliberately provoke, enrage, and antagonize law-abiding civilians in order to have an excuse to arrest, assault, and otherwise dominate them and employ torture toys (such as tasers and batons) against them. Judging by cops' aforementioned behavior and their ridiculously exaggerated physiques, cops seem to be more concerned about flexing their metaphorical, imagined, and literal muscles of power than about upholding any law.

[PhillyCopsAreCorrupt]

Philadelphia police officers are sanctimonious frauds who hide behind a facade of law and order. They are lying cowards who never admit to their own crimes, yet frequently try to frame innocent people for crimes which they did not commit. Cops are not interested in upholding laws, only in massaging their unwarranted god complexes, faux blue-collar hero vanities, and unjustifiably inflated egos. Cops are willing to ruin lives just to feed their petty tyrannies.

Askia's injuries from the PPD's assault on him last year are still affecting him. Every day has become a struggle for our brother, Askia Sabur. He struggles to carry his 1-year old son so much that he can only hold him for a few minutes. Walking anywhere for him is even a challenge. POLICE BRUTALITY affects not only the victim, but the victim's family and the lives that they've touched.
