Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US ~ LOGANVILLE — A Gwinnett man plans to sue the Loganville Police Department after he says they brutally beat him in the wake of his stepson's suicide.

Kenneth Dixon said he came back to his Fiddler's Bend home Wednesday afternoon to find his 24-year-old stepson, Ronnie Norman, dead in the garage after taking his own life.

Shouts for help as he performed CPR elicited the quick response of emergency personnel. With EMTs trying to resuscitate Norman, Dixon said he tried to run inside for a towel.

That, he said, is when one of the darkest days of his life turned bleaker.

"One (police officer) grabbed me by the back of the arm, pretty forcibly," an emotional Dixon told the Daily Post on Monday. "All I did was jerk my arm out of his hand and say, 'Don't touch me.' The man took it personally.

"That man's rage just built, like, 'I'm a cop, you can't tell me what to do.' That one started it, and three more jumped in. Two were holding me down and two were punching me."

Dixon was taken to Gwinnett County Jail and charged with obstruction before posting $1,300 bond. His mug shot clearly shows the effects of the altercation.

"I'm scuffed up, scraped up everywhere on the face from them dragging my face on the pavement. I have two black eyes," Dixon said.

"All that on top of finding my son dead. I mean, good Lord, people. What happened to the compassion? What happened to protect and serve?"

Dixon insists that he did nothing to provoke the police officers. Loganville's Chief Michael McHugh has called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into the incident, saying he doesn't expect the bureau to find "anything out of sorts."

"I really can't comment until the completion of the investigation," McHugh said Monday, "but the GBI is actively conducting interviews at this time."

"There'll come a time when this will all come out though," he added.

McHugh said the four officers in question remain on active duty. Dixon wants the resignation of the men he estimates beat him for "five minutes, maybe seven."

Norman leaves behind a wife and child. Away on vacation last week, Norman's widow was hospitalized when she got news of his passing — during her stay she found out she was two weeks pregnant with the couple's second child, Dixon said.

Now, Dixon and his wife will attempt to sue Loganville police for $10 million to "send a message." If successful, they'll use the money to start a suicide prevention hotline in Norman's name, Dixon said.

McHugh was confident that the GBI's investigation will find no wrongdoing on behalf of his officers. Dixon, though, said there's no gray area to examine — he was wronged on what was already the worst day of his life.

"I'm telling you there is no other side," he said. "I did nothing wrong to these people."

  • US police force is full of scums! Fuck them! Kill them! Sterilize them! ALL! u mother fucker lousy Cops!!

  • These cops are filthy cunts. Most of the time, when people complain I watch the video and the people are shitasses and deserved what happened. This man DID NOTHING. And they didn't even suspend these fuckers? NO WAY this man is beaten to shit. If he had gone nuts with grief they should have bear hugged him down and just held him down until he stopped. He FOUND the dead body; that is TRAUMATIC. Keeping a situation calm during a tragedy does not include beating the fuck out of the family.

  • you want more cop killers.. you fucking pigs are raising an army that will bring you to the slaughter house.

  • Fuck Da police!

  • I hope that cop gets castrated with a fork and killed. Fuck cops.

  • @buddie623 Ha no, I'm not related to a cop, nor am I saying he is a suspect. I'm saying all you hear in this video is one side of the story. Who knows if this guy is telling the entire truth? I'm not justifying what the police did, but I don't think people should be so quick to judge when they only know one part of the story. I'm keeping my mind open to possibilities instead of Immediately labeling the police as bad people, so of course, I"M the asshole here. ;)

  • Todays has been a day where ive seen some of the sadest videos on youtube... :(

  • @Tuesdays86 His kid hung himself are saying he is a suspect, you must be a cop or related to one. Either way your an asshole.

  • Some very good cops out there, but way to many dirt bags and the good seem to be the minority these days. Death to you four pig assholes !!!!

  • @nanofriz12 If you were dreadfully upset that your son had hung himself you would not be in a normal rational state of mind. Those officers were cowards who need the singapore solution.

  • Bad "cops" give the good ones a bad name. SUcks.

  • just another peice of evidence of how outta control the police are. its us verse them people, wake up, this could happen to anyone. u think ur safe cause u havn't done "anything" wrong, think again, a cop could beat u down, and shoot u in the back of the head, and claim self defense, and would be at work the next day, while ur family is puttin u in a hole six feet under. wake up!
