hey i'm so smaat it seems to me pretty close to 90% of what you wrote was about spelling and the other 10% was about grammar so don't tell me to say something about the story at hand. The cops were doing their job although alittle to rough. Now the poor guy is paralizes and the city of coquille didn't want to pay so decided to justify everything. since you are so smaat. let me see if you can go and not criticize eveybody and their grammar or spelling and talk about the story. that goes to all you south coast high school grads if you made it that far.

this paritcular situation gives me fear of the people who are protecting me. You are not supposed to fear your protectors. You should feel safe and protected, not fearful, am i right?
when i open the paper and read that my protectors...those who should make me feel safe...have caused a 58 year old man to become a quadrapalgeic because they could not safely place him under arrest, to read that they have caused so much pain and suffering for one man and one family gives me great fear of these "So called" protectors.
i feel that in this particular situation the police officers who have placed him in such a horrible position feel no remorse. I feel that they are proud that they arrested a man who committed a crime so horrible. if they were to feel so horrible about what they had done, wouldnt you see...maybe a public apology from the police officers at hand? maybe an apology to the family...? but no. we did not see or hear any of that. we see them defending themselves, trying to make it sound reasonable that they have caused this man to become a quadrapalegic.
well im sorry, but you say that they were doing what they were trained to do...taking down someone who resists arrest. well even if he was resisting arrest, HES 58 YEARS OLD!! that is definitley not young! my grandpa is that old and he would definitley not be able to give two in shape and well built young men a struggle when being arrested. they were two young police officers, trained to safely take down criminals. and he was one 58 year old man with back problems.
if he already had back problems, such as the doctor claims, then wouldnt it be even easier for them to take him down? open your eyes and look at the situation...two young strong police officers, and one old man with back problems. their story doesnt even make sense!

we are all innocent until proven guilty. The least amount of force should be used.
So that the police will have the respect from the people that they are risking their lives for.. taking the worst person by the hand. the police have no one else to call. they have to deal with the worst people in town. and most try to resist to some degree. even an innocent person will if he feels he is wrongly accused. It is foolish to resist, we can't fight the law. People do it as a way to communicate their grief, anger. The police, God bless their noble hearts. I love them. It's the hardest job in town, besides being a parent. It takes a brave decent policeman who does not abuse his power and act as judge, jury, & executioner and use more force than necessary to keep the peace and safety of all involved. There have been some who have been falsely arrested, and tortured by being roughly treated . The lack of sleep in some jails is a form of torture.I have known three friends shot in the back by policemen. My friend's husband was an Oakland policeman, who was manufacturing Meth and went to prison. Meth makes everyone, even policemen, violent. Violence ruins the earth, Just ask Noah. that's why he made the ark.

I know if someone forced my hands behind my back and pushed me forward to where I fell down on my face, my automatic reaction would be to resist.my hands are behind my back!
although I have resisted arrest once as a teenager, I was not pushed on my face with with my hands behind my back. They just handcuffed me and carried me away. I had resisted badly.
Then I also remember the arrest at 7-11 when I first saw the strange thing call police brutality. A man handcuffed, leaning face down on the trunk of a car, and the police grabbed hold of his hair and banged his face several times. smashing his nose several times. It was all bloody. And I was thinking why is this policeman doing this when this man clearly was not resisting.

I am often amazed at the closed mindedness of people throughout our community. This was a very unfortunate tragedy. It affects the lives of the police officers involved as well as the injured party. The testimony provided indicates that Mr. Foster was known to be combative to law enforcement - there was a standing order to have two officers present anytime they made contact with him. There was no way for them to know of his condition and therefore reacted as they were trained. I don't believe their actions to be "macho". In their line of work they never know how people will react or what kind of influences are affecting their physical and mental faculties. Unfortunately, each contact needs to be approached by law enforcement in such a way as to protect themselves and the public. My prayers are with all parties involved.

Well M. SMITH, there is no indication in the reportage of these officers ever saying anything to Mr Foster about being under arrest, and the incredibly short time-frame in which the pertinent events transpired seems to preclude much being said of any nature before they assaulted him, after which point any words would be moot since they were forcing Foster's limited possible response.
I find it impossible to believe that small Mr Foster would actually resist 2 big officers after being informed that he was under arrest within eyesight of the jail.

A jury can only deliberate on the evidence. If the DA uses only information that is favorable to the police and none that is favorable to the Mr. Foster then it is biased. It has nothing to do with whether the jury has made up their mind or not. That doesn't mean the grand jury was wrong..I didn't say that.
It is not a trial, that is why I said procedure...you don't need to call people ignorant. I don't quite see how you have related this to the Leah Freeman case...entirely different situation.

If it were so biased, we would have seen someone long ago go to trial over Leah Freeman's death. Everyone has their opinion who they think did it, some crazier than others...yet obviously there is not enough supporting evidence to indict anyone.

The grand jury are everyday citizens that live here. They were presented with the facts of the case, I am sure alot more than have been released publicly, and they have heard expert testimony as to what the medical history was of Mr. Foster, and how his injuries could have been, and not have been sustained. They made the ruling not to indict. Meaning, they obviously found the police officers to not be at fault. People of this community found the police not at fault, when they were presented with the facts. Not rumors...not unsubstantiated emotional opinions...and they found them to not be at fault. That should tell you that maybe, just maybe, you don't have all the facts, maybe you are just going off of your own misplaced feelings about the police, or maybe you are just ignorant. Whichever the case, it has already been taken to the courts, (yes boobers....we do have 'real' courts and judges) and there just was not supporting evidence to say the police were in the wrong.
It is sad what happened to all involved, but people make stupid decisions every day and they have to live with the consequences of those decisions. Mr. Foster's consequences of resisting arrest were pretty rough, but so are alot of others who make stupid decisions. Those who choose to drink and then drive, and wind up killing someone. They may have not meant to kill someone...but those were the consequences of their actions. Stupid decision they made, but they have to live with that....and unfortunately so do the ones that were also hurt around them.

And no you do not have to answer any police questions and can leave unless you are being placed under arrest. Even after being arrested you do not have to talk to them. Does any one know if the police went there with a warrant? If not, Foster did have the right to turn and walk away and not talk to them.

A curious comment given that there is no mention in this of the officers ever saying anything to Foster that would indicate they were attempting to arrest him. A citizen is not required to answer any officers questions, and has a right "to turn away and leave" if not under arrest. If assaulting someone is considered to be an example of proper police behavior, then we do have a problem.

Imagine if your vertebres were in the appearance of swiss cheese. You think that is stable enough? This is the stuff the people making money off of drugs don't tell anyone.

From what I have observed over a lifetime is that police officers always use more force than is needed and are never careful about the people they are "handling" whether it is male or female, armed or unarmed. they seem to like to show their macho strength whether they have it or not. When it takes two or more officers to put down a 90 lb. person, they don't need to be so "tough acting". Being "macho" with a gun around your waist isn't very manly or macho in my mind, and especially when there is two or more of them. Who trains these guys anyway.??

What should be watched now is the growing anti-law anti-police group in Coquille. Who at every turn deem any action by any government agency to be in the wrong. Ludicrous.
