DETAILS: thecivilrightslawyer.com/2024/11/17/bully-cop-assaults-special-olympics-medalist-and-his-supervisor-helps-cover-it-up/ In Clearfield, Utah, Officer Fratto of the Clearfield Police Department violently arrested (and injured) a local long-time Special Olympics medalist. Shawn was just trying to walk home from his favorite karaoke bar, but Officer Fratto thought Shawn looked suspicious, so he began to follow him (and scare him) as he was walking home. Shawn had committed no crime. No crime had been observed or reported. Fratto eventually jumped out of his police cruiser and detained Shawn, claiming he saw him illegally jaywalk. He demanded Shawn provide his “ID.” However, Shawn answered all questions asked by Fratto, who never asked Shawn his name or date of birth. Shawn knew that he was being harassed and did not want to provide his ID to Fratto, who continue to bully him and escalate the situation. Fratto chose violence and took Shawn to the ground, injuring him. Fratto’s supervisor showed up and helped coverup the misconduct. Luckily, Shawn had a friend from the bar who helped him get the bodycam footage and communicate to the prosecutor and judge in court, resulting in the bogus charge being dismissed. But unfortunately, the incident has had a lasting negative effect on Shawn.

It should be easy for the police department to provide all of their officers with your brother’s name , photo, and area where he lives and places that he typically frequents. No excuses. This cop should also be fired. He’s an 1diot. He made a huge deal out of nothing, lied and exaggerated when recounting what happened, and couldn’t figure out that this man had a disability. And to top it off he doesn’t even know the law for his area. Then when he and his supervisor realized that they were wrong about the law, they didn’t have the decency or integrity to admit it. They still felt the egotistical need to feed their fragile egos by citing a different infraction than they had ever accused Sean of in the first place.

Once I got arrested when I called for a domestic violence my boyfriend was fried off meth and they took me in cuz they said their captain told them to and it ruined my career for a year I lost my job and my ex punched me in my head strangled me busted my lip and gave me a black eye. I wish I would have sued the police. He also searched me and was talking dirty to me until I told him stop and finally a female came to finish the search he kept asking if I’m wearing panties. Super disgusting. They accused me of being on drugs and I did a test and was clean for everything while my ex got released cuz I was crying and acting “crazy “. I just got beat up and arrested and sexually harassed and falsely accused of using drugs ! wtf. Whole time my ex was beating on me on and off for years and I finally snapped and called for help I was tired of being his punching bag. I regret calling the police and will never call them again I would rather take another beating from my ex than lose my job again. Seriously nothings worse than being broke and losing my home
