Fire Policemen Who Clubbed Autistic Boy!
Oscar Guzman was watching the pigeons outside his parents' 26th Street restaurant. It was just another day in Chicago for this autistic 16-year old. Until the police chased him inside the restaurant, clubbed him, and sent him to the hospital.
Guzman's family tried to protect Oscar, yelling to the police that he was a "special needs child" but the police responded by handcuffing Oscar's sister, according to a recent article in the Chicago Sun-Times. Oscar went to the hospital for a four-centimeter laceration to his head.
Chicago's city council has agreed that the city should pay over a million dollars in damages to Oscar Guzman's family. But the city's press indicates no definite action has been take to prevent further police brutality of this kind.
Tell the Chicago Police Department to fire the officers responsible for beating Oscar Guzman.
We the undersigned are outraged that your officers clubbed an autistic teenager so badly that he needed staples for his head injury. All he was doing was watching pigeons. It's clear that there is an anger management problem on your force. You need to send a clear message to all your officers that needless force is unacceptable. Fire those officers involved in beating Oscar Guzman.
