<p>I am sure we all remember that night and how people thought the kids were hooligans. Today it was announced that 3 PG police officers were suspended for beating a UMD student.</p>
<p>I am glad that they did because it really did seem that the kids were not rioting and that the police took it too far. I haven't looked on the web for articles, but according to MSNBC, the officers suspended were on horseback.</p>
<p>There are pictures on facebook of more than one student who was beaten by cops.</p>
<p>It’s sad that these cops who violently assaulted students are only going to get suspended and no real punishment. If it was any normal person who assaulted helpless students with a gang of 4 with nightsticks, they would go to jail for at least 10 years with a felony on their record. PG county cops are power-hungry, egotistical jerks who think they are above the law.</p>
<p>Ten will get you twenty with the lawsuits now from the students and the FBI involvement the Chief will lose his job and the cops who did this have more problems than just suspension. I am sure they will be personally sued for pain and suffering. Their lives are financially ruined.</p>
