Cop assaults special ed student

When it rains, it pours.

In Dolton, Illinois, a 15-year-old student who attends special ed because of a learning disability was assaulted by a police officer roaming the school. The cop grabbed him, cussed him out, threw him to the ground, beat him, and almost suffocated him.

The teen's "crime"? His shirttail wasn't tucked in. (A capital offense for sure!)

The police assault that resulted from the student's minor breach of school etiquette was caught on videotape.

The boy's nose was broken in the incident.

Now it turns out that the police officer involved in this attack had previously gunned down his former wife's new husband in front of their children. He shot the man 24 times, killing him.

Why was this menace still a cop after he needlessly shot and killed a man?

The story thickens: Now, in yet another incident, the officer is charged with the brutal rape of an Indiana woman.

Meanwhile, a lawsuit may be filed over the school attack.
