^the whole article^^ pretty fucked up shit...
Yesterday in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, Michael Mineo took the stand to describe in detail his harrowing experience on a Brooklyn subway station in 2008: being held down by three New York City police officers and sodomized with a foreign object.
Mr. Mineos crime? Smoking marijuana.
The Brooklyn cops chased Mr. Mineo into the station after they spotted him smoking marijuana. Mr. Mineo claims that the cops tackled him and that one of the officers sodomized him with a baton. The cops then gave him a summons, and threatened 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.
Mr. Mineos story is corroborated by eyewitnessesincluding 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.
