I spent four weeks in a coma, and months–even years–in neuro rehab, and yet I still see the results of my trauma to this day, even twenty years later.

Attention is the key, and while there is another horrific aspect at play here, I cannot stress the importance of neuro rehab for Chad as soon as possible.

My prayers are with Chad and his family.

The fact that the police department’s statement mentions nothing of a severe head injury really speaks its credibility.

In fact, the statement reads as if there were half a dozen men patiently waiting in line to grab the officers’ crotches one-by-one.

It does mention that one of these “crotch grabbers” was handed over to paramedics, but only because he was severely intoxicated and vomiting everywhere.

Give me a break. The whole thing is just literally incredible.

Why are police hurting people. The police are here to protect us. They are good people. They risk their lives daily to protect us all.

I want to hear the police chief on this board!

NOW!

A uniform should not invalidate the rights of citizens to live unsubjected to assault. And in many places it does not.

If it can be shown (as it witnesses are reporting) that there was no provocation, will this officer be brought up on charges? Will there even be the slightest slap-on-the-wrist for this uniform-wearing thug?

Sadly, I doubt it.

Nor will Gov. Rick Perry even suggest that anything unnecessary occured.

We need for this story to generate national outrage – not localized protest – for anything to be done. Perry needs to feel embarrassed among his peers for conducting his “state police” as a Stonewall-era anti-gay “vice” squad.
