Just For Pot?!?

BROOKLYN-Michael Mineo took the stand yesterday in the State Supreme Court to tell in detail about the horrible event in a Brooklyn subway station in 2008, where he was held down by three New York City police officers and sodomized with a foreign object.

WHY?!? He was smoking pot.

Cops chased Michael into the subway station after they noticed him smoking marijuana. Michael said the cops tackled him and that one of the officers sodomized him with a baton. The cops then gave him a summons, and stated that they would go to his house and serve him with a felony charge if he went to the hospital for treatment or the police station to report what happened.

Michael’s claims are confirmed by eyewitnesses, one of whom is a transit police officer. The three officers charged in the attack are now on trial in a case that recalls that of Abner Louima, who was brutally sodomized by police in 1997.

The NYPD’s obsession with marijuana possession has led to tens of thousands of New Yorkers every year being caught up in the criminal justice system. Most spend a few days in jail. Some, like Michael, suffer greatly.
