Bully Cop Assaults Special Olympics Medalist (and his supervisor helps cover it up)

What useless people they have as cops! I think they find the most useless human beings in the world and give him a badge and a gun.

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.
