Man on life support after Minneapolis cop punches him for ‘talking loud’
By David Edwards
Monday, June 18, 2012 10:17 EDT


Sgt. David Clifford, a member of the Minneapolis SWAT team, turned himself in to authorities on Sunday after a father of four who he reportedly “sucker punched” for talking too loud spent Father’s Day in intensive care.

“He did a Superman punch,” Archambault recalled. “Brian went back, feet up in the air, and the guy landed on top of him and his head bounced off the concrete.”

Witnesses identified the assailant as Sgt. David Clifford but police did not find the officer at his home. Commander Paul Sommer said that Clifford finally turned himself in at about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday after retaining a lawyer. He is expected to be charged with third-degree assault.

An online biography indicated that Clifford had served with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division as team leader of Personal Security Detachments in Kosovo and Iraq.

After two brain surgeries, Vander Lee was still on life support Sunday. Doctors are hopeful that he will recover.

“I think he realized now, I don’t think he realized how serious it was last night,” Archambault explained. “And now that word got out — that Brian is in the condition he’s in —that he better do what’s right.”


A agree and urge him to hang himself.

The victim and his wife should sue for the guy's pension. That would not only punish the aggressor but would scare his fellow gang members as well.

I think the cop's pension is safe -- I know if he were on duty at the time he'd have "qualified immunity" -- since he was off-duty he should be open for a personal lawsuit against him, but probably not.

He was not in uniform.

Not on duty.

And acted stupidly.

He's in a pile of hurt.

I thought the exact same thing...

There must chart somewhere where you run your finger down the y column from Bankster, past POTUS, past DHS or TSA employee, then across the x row passing innocent, innocent, paid vacation, oh yes, Assault 3*..there it is ...

* If illegally caught on video by domestic terrorist then Assault 2**
** If victim is "person of color" then Assault 1.

"Urine sample please."

The NJ cop who barricaded himself and shot at police yesterday blamed his problems on steroid use (among other things). It's very likely that this cop was using steroids also, many cops do. However, the police unions will not allow for testing them.

Video surveillance at the bar shows Clifford approaching Brian Vander Lee and then punching him in the head, said Cmdr. Paul Sommer, spokesman for the Anoka County sheriff's office. Sommer added that Vander Lee was reportedly on a cellphone at the time of the incident.

FFS.

And some you TARDS here are convinced former current and former .mil will "stand up" when the time is right are refuse to follow illegal orders.

Wake up. They ALL want a chance to crack skulls under the blue umbrella. Hell, this latest JBT ******* prolly figured the blue umbrella was covering him as he pummelled the poor guy in the restaurant.

When, pray tell, will the real .mil men and gals (and pigs) "stand up" and fix things? If not now, when? Times about up.

LE has been given to much leash. One could argue they have been let loose.

I get the sometimes you need to bust heads concept. The wise thing may be to swing first. But its the judgement that counts. Integrity is out the window more and more these days. Judge others as you would judge your own.
