Many of my viewers from around the country sent me this viral Facebook post by the wife of an elderly, disabled military veteran (with severe type 2 diabetes) about three police officers abusing him in front of their home in St. Mary’s West Virginia. After she reached out to me, yesterday I drove 3 and a half hours up to the location of the incident to investigate the scene myself. Frankly, I’m shocked by what’s happening up there, and they can’t be allowed to get away with it.

Handcuff and take too jail 3 men couldn’t do that wow
Did you get the plate number of the PI?
Time to bankrupt this small town……
Taxpayers get ready to pay
And the chief was one of three cops
involved
LE is out of control and we will not accomplish anything in the courts because they "back the blue" and "thin blue line" no matter what the courts are as bad or worse than LE. It's time we fight back.
Another corrupt tyranical police department exposed. AND the Prosecutor AND the Judge. It's revolting. Good luck CRL, and thank you for helping these elderly folks.
Thank you! You are doing the good we all need!
These cops were just tyrannical sacks of you know what and behave like crazed lunatics. This is policing today. These three cops should be prosecuted to the fullest extentof the aw and fired for what they did to this old man and a veteran at that. Disgusting police work if you can call it that. I hope he sues them for millions of $$$$$$$$$$
Wow unreal
I am sick to my core of the inept police and judicial system. This shit has got to stop. I hate to say it, but before much longer we are going to have to water the liberty tree some more.
In all my experience living in small towns, cops in many small towns like this from small PDs are basically hired thugs. They rarely actually enforce any laws they get paid to harass and terrorize.
Sounds like the ENTIRE audit community to visit this little town

Put them in jail!
There are so many policy enforcement offices around the globe just like this one. Time to stand up people.
God bless you John, we need more Attorneys like you in America
The two other cops assisted in taking him into custody by which they mean they assisted in beating the shit out of this disabled senior citizen
Remember this guy is a 69-year-old on medication type 2 diabetes. This area is known for shady cops? Sounds like maybe there should be a federal investigation on civil rights violations.
Wow!!!
What grade schooler wrote the sentence on the bottom of that report?
IMO in rural area's, police chiefs see themselves as kind-a "kings of the city" and accept no critic at all. Good job, go get them. USA policing is insane.
Send your story yo the whitehouse
So much going on here. St. Mary's better have good insurance on their PD or this will bankrupt the city. If a PD issues weapons, they should also be issuing bodycams. If I am a juror and there's no body cam footage available to corroborate a cop's testimony, I'm not believing them. There are too many examples where it shows them acting illegally. I also hope you have the license plate/ID of the "Private investigator" and can depose him.
What is the Turner Fair do in sitting on the ass and not doing nothing with a bad cops
FROM UVALDE TEXAS TO WEST VIRGINIA, THEY EITHER LET CHILDREN GET MURDERED FOR AN HOUR AND 17 MINUTES OR THEY BEAT THE HECK OUT OF OLD MEN
SEEMS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE YOURSELF A NEW CLIENT PRO BONO
Trump needs to end qualified immunity !
GENTLEMEN IN THE RED, YOU ARE A HERO. THE BALLS ON YOU ARE SO BIG, WE NEED TO GET A DUMP TRUCK JUST TO HELP YOU GET AROUND TOWN
I hope they retain your service and you accept the case. Be prepared for them to solicit a disorderly conduct with some mysterious witness who was offended.
