Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes a special grand jury will look at the claims of a Brooklyn man who says five police officers beat and sodomized him with a police radio antennae at a subway station. Hynes said, "On the basis of preliminary conclusions of the early stages of my investigation and a review of the medical evidence concerning the allegations that Michael Mineo was brutally assaulted by four police officers I have ordered a special investigative grand jury to be empaneled."
The NYPD has maintained that there was no wrong doing by its officers (however Internal Affairs is investigating). The similarities--and differences--to the 1997 police brutality incident where Abner Louima was sodomized by police officers, at a stationhouse, using a broken broomstick are examined by the NY Times today. One former federal prosecutor from the Louima case said, "As bizarre as the Louima assault was, this is even more bizarre. What cop in their right mind would sodomize a person in the middle of the day, in front of everyone?”
But Louima's lawyer Sanford Rubenstein said the excessive police force is, "along with racial profiling, it is the civil rights issue of this era." And Louima himself told the Daily News, "All I have to tell him is to hang in there; he's not alone. It does surprise me that this is happening 11 years after. We knew this was not something that's going to go away in one day. Something needs to be done. Major changes need to be done."

When will they be flying Louima in to town so he can sniff the antenna?
This guy's story doesn't seem to add up. I'm interested to see what the investigation reveals.
Well hes crying like a little girl. No man would make something like that up and expose himself to such media coverage.
I believe him.
I've seen better acting in car insurance commercials. This guy definitely looks like he's had more than just an antennae up his poopshoot before.
Oh BTW: that Sharpton guy is such a whore ..
said it before and saying it again:
who is going to put their walkie up someones ass?
how many times would you have to wash it to put it up to your head or mouth again?
maybe it was a flashlight and just couldn't tell
crying pretty hard for such a badass 24 year old that beat a teenager so bad he needed dentures
Also kind nice for testimony how he specified what he was being probed with...witnesses remember specifics.
"Hey officer: I bet you get pretty crappy reception that way huh?"
Bada-Bing!
"Sodomy, in the park...I think it was the Fourth of July..."
I know cops aren't angels, but I think this guy is just trying to get out of trouble for smoking a joint, as he is already in trouble with the law.
He sodomized himself with a pen in the back of the cruiser, now he wants millions. I can't believe this degenerate piece of garbage has me wasting my time on him. Grrr.
#3 Tawana Brawley made up something as terrible. Remember her?
She claimed she was raped by a gang of white guys, including the local D.A., then stuffed in a garbage bag, and that the I.R.A. came along and smeared shite on her for the hell of it.
It catapulted that former street hustler, Fat Al, to infamy.
Can you hear me NOW?
I've been riding the subway for ten years. What am I, chopped liver?
Such a weird case.
So this dumbfuck tattoo parlor habitue draws the line at anal piercing? Maybe next time the cops should glove up and blare Metallica first.
I still believe there's more to the story. The truth will come out.
I have no doubt that this guy had something inserted up his ass at some point, perhaps on many occasions, I just don't think it was the cop's walkie talkie.
I'm not buying his story
This guy's lying.
There are actually people who believe this self-piercer?
Truly, there are none so blind as those who will not see.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Emily. This story just doesn't gel.
