City to pay $525,000 after cops beat autistic teen at family’s restaurant
A brutal beating of an autistic teenage boy causes a law suit to erupt ending in the paying of $525,000 to the teens family. The article shows the results of cops who jump to conclusions. This autistic boy, Oscar, was beaten for a simple movement that made him look like he was carrying a weapon, he ran because he is a special needs child who got scared. Special needs children do not always realize that things they do that seem harmless to them, may seem as a threat to others. This is no excuse, though, for the police men who allegedly beat him while the parents of the child continuosly yelled that he was a special needs child. After the beating had ceased, the police refused to listen to the parents and threatened to arrest Oscars sister. If Police continue to cause havoc like this, more of the tax payers dollars are going to be paying for the damage.
