Police Torture In Nashville?

Quote:

When Tennessee law enforcement officials showed up at the home of Lester Siler, who they suspected of drug use, they asked Lester's wife and son to leave. They didn't know that Lester's wife had turned on a tape recorder in the kitchen.

When Lester exercised his constitutional right not to sign a consent to search his house, these officers spent the next two hours torturing him. They beat him with bats and guns, held loaded guns to his head, threatened to shoot him, dunked his head in the toilet, burned him with lighters, attached his testicles to a battery charger, threatened to cut off his fingers, and threatened to "go get" his wife and take his child away from him. Then they arrested him for "evading arrest"."

You can here nearly 40 minutes of the tape recording HERE





This can't be true can it? Cops would never do something like this would they?

There is a link to the tape recording at the above link. The first 4-5 minutes is not too clear but the rest of the tape is.

it's too bad the victim was white, otherwise the mainstream media would have probably picked up on it.

i was able to find that webber, the ringleader, got 57 months, and franklin and green got 54 months. monday, the one who threatened siler with his service pistol got 72 months. carrol got 51 months.

it's hush hush, but these guys also had a lot to say to investigators about other crooked shit that (surprise) was going on in the county. that's one excuse for the lenient sentences.

they lose their jobs and pensions as well, and i think webber's wife divorced him. i think their sentences should all be about twice as long... but after they serve a few years in jail, lose their job, pension, professional qualifications, and probably everything they own to the civil suit... i guess their lives are pretty much fucked from here on out. serves them right. hopefully they'll be given proper treatment in prison.

Thanks for that info about that. I didn't know if this story was old or not, I havn't been able to find any other coverage of that story. I wasn't even totaly convinced if it was true story or not.

Wow, I am suprised that no one brought up the brillient idea of Mr. silers wife to turn on a tape recorder. That is awesome and probably would have helped the handful of members that have posted there injustice in the past. everyone who is at risk of encoutering the police should have such a device.

It is bad either way but it would be good if cnn or a source like that would have coverage on this for a couple days every half hour. heh...
