Loganville Man Alleges Police Brutality

LOGANVILLE, Ga. - A man says he called Loganville police to his home for help and ended up being beaten by officers. Kenny Dixon said Friday that he arrived home Wednesday to find that his son had committed suicide.

Crews responded to the emergency, but Dixon said police made one of his family's darkest days even worse by attacking, then arresting him.

Dixon had black eyes and scrapes on his face Friday, injuries he said he received in addition to his broken heart.

The Loganville man said found his stepson Wednesday, dead inside his garage. The 24-year-old had committed suicide.

"I tried to do CPR on him and couldn't bring him back. I yelled for people in the neighborhood to call 911," said Dixon.

When police and emergency crews arrived, Dixon said paramedics took over the rescue effort.

"I left the garage, walked to the front door. One of the police officers came up behind me, grabbed my arm, and said, 'You need to sit down.' I jerked my arm away from him and said, 'Don't touch me.' That's all I said to the man, and he tackled me," Dixon said.

Dixon said other officers then joined in and two allegedly held him down, while two others punched him in the face.

"I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on over there," said neighbor, Lisa Neighbors.

Neighbors said she woke up to screaming and looked outside.

"They were just waling on him, punching him and punching him. It was awful," Neighbors said.

"I never once resisted them, I didn't swing at them, I didn't cuss them, I didn't do anything to deserve what they did to me!" exclaimed Dixon.

Dixon said officers put him in a police car and took him to jail. The Loganville man was charged with felony obstruction.

Loganville police leaders called the incident a "regrettable situation." The chief of police said he called in the GBI to investigate and that his agency had nothing to hide.

Dixon filed a complaint and he and his neighbors said they were disgusted and want some answers.

"How could Loganville do that? How could they beat up on somebody that just came home and found their son hung?" said Neighbors.

Loganville police leaders said the four officers involved were still working. It's not clear how long the GBI investigation will take.

Why do we keep hearing about this kinda of shit every other day, we seem to be fast approaching police state status here. I mean seriously why is it that most cops seem to think they are GOD and can do anything they want because some one that is well with in their rights to does not comply with their every whim?????

Fuck yes it is and there isnt much of an alternative. Everyone is worse than us anymore. Thanks to "terrorism" you cant even take a photograph of a landmark without being hassled by a pig.

And this is coming from a while collar, white man. They really need to put cops in check, fuck this "we put our lives at risk" bullshit. You signed up for the job, now do it properly. Protect and serve.

I hope he takes them to court and gets a good chunk of change from the police dept.

just for shits and giggles what would they have done to the poor guy if he happened to have a gun on his person (you can do that on you own property with out a permit) would they have shot the poor bastard???????

There is a story going on over on another board I am on, where some dude got pulled over on his bike last Saturday, went to pull it a bit further off the shoulder to get further outta the line of traffic. Got yanked off his bike, tackled, bike flops on its side breaking shit, one cop shoots his tazer (the kind with the cords) and gets the guy in the testicles. Guy yanks them outta his thigh and sack, while getting tazed by another cop and beaten. Cops say he was trying to flee while moving into the fucking grass using foot power on a fucking HiPo street Bike DUUURRRRRRRRR OK.

This shit has to stop, I will be the 1st to stand up for the cops when they are in the right, but all too often, they are not. Sure the bad shit is what we hear about thanks to the media and what sells, BUT THIS MUCH BAD SHIT SHOULD NOT BE GOING ON AT ALL. and +1 on the pictars of monuments and shit. I take lots of pics when I am at work, have gotten shit for it too.

[joshh]

Frankly cops are under trained. It seems like many situations are exacerbated by cops. Not mitigated as cops should do.

[5spoke]

Cops are too full of themselves and enjoy beating the shit out of people with there power.
