Alleged Subway Sodomy Victim Explains $220 Million Suit

What's with the "blame the victim"? If this really happened to him it is shocking and he should sue. More power to him (if it really happened).

Nyctini11: I'm glad I read your reply. I think you're right on.

"The lawsuit is consistent with my feeling that this was always about money, not a search for the truth."

Truth??!! Were the cops looking for truth at the bottom of this dude's rectum. The only truth down there is some corn and a fucked up snickers bar.

Well, it's about a search for the truth, but the $$$ helps me get over the fact that those bastards shoved a baton in my ass.

I don't even know what to say. The majority of cops here have their heads so far up their own asses, i guess their looking for more space in other bodies now. Month or so ago, the 2 asses going back numerous times and raping a drunk girl IN HER APARTMENT, shooting each other, this - which is painfully similar to Amadu Dialo(sp?), AND the links take you to an article that they already paid out $50k in settlements cause of 2 priors against this cop??... it all teaches me 1 thing, you see cops, PANIC.

Regardless of the price tag he's put on this, no one should be making fun of this situation or him, it's disgusting and if this was a girl, everyone would be empathizing with her.

I'm well versed with the bitterness and the "fuck the victim" sentiments frequently expressed here but in this case I'm really puzzled.

Do you some of you really believe the this guy somehow earned having something shoved up his ass by a roomful of cops? Really? Where the fuck are you from? How could it possibly be deserved under any circumstances?

Fucking retards.

Also, why are cops so obsessed with shoving things in peoples' asses? Scary.

No bitterness but nice canard. Actually, in this case, it's because this guy is a thug who had previously beat the shit out of some kid in his own tattoo parlor. Maybe your "laziness" in failing to look up the "victim" is more at issue here, ya think?

If you believe anyone *ever* deserves to be raped, for *any* reason, you have serious problems.

I'm disgusted by the comments here, making fun of this guy for being raped.

"it's because this guy is a thug who had previously beat the shit out of some kid in his own tattoo parlor."

And what do we know about that incident? Who was this "kid?" Was he a thug himself? What were his priors? Maybe he deserved what he got for exactly the same kinds of reasons that some people believe this guy did.

Whatever happened, he was arrested for it and paid his due.

This time, he committed a minor violation, smoking a joint. Nothing violent, it could have been handled with a C summons. Cops then (knowing nothing about his past record, so that old assault charge was irrelevant) held him down, assaulted him anally, didn't get him immediate medical attention, and lied about in a coverup.

Guaranteed, if that happened to anyone here you'd sue for as much as you could get too. Wouldn't you? If not, I'd have to wonder why.

I too have been wondering about the NYPD's apparent fascination with the male anus and their desire to push something in it. I'm buying me a buckle-on assplate.

The cops ought to countersue him and his butthole for ruining their radio reception.

Oh, come on. The PBA knows that asking for a huge amount is meant as a big "Screw You" to the people responsible. No one actually thinks he's going to get that kind of cash in the end. (No pun intended.)

This turd is planning to procreate!?

am I going crazy? when this was first reported, wasn't the alleged sodomy weapon a walkie antenna?

ie ""This is a bad one. It looks like one of the cops inserted his radio antenna in the victim's rectum.""

Yeah, there was initial confusion about whether it was a baton or an antenna; here's the explanation.

Ah, thank you sir.

(PS: No Baton Rouge jokes yet people?)

I was thinking that too

where did your trust fund come from?

oh, my grandpa was raped by a police flashlight back in 2008.

cool.

I laughed.

I laughed.

You know what I want? Some accountability. I want to know everything about the culture and the training of the NYPD, which enables grotesque abuse to happen on a regular basis, and I want retraining and I want this to stop NOW.

And I have a right to this accountability and inside knowledge of the NYPD. Because if the cops did in fact sodomize Mr. Mineo, I believe he has a total right to at least a portion of the punitive damages he's asking for.

But the brunt of the penalty won't be on the NYPD. It won't be on the city. It will ultimately be on us, the taxpayers of New York City, because that's where this payment money comes from. I demand to know why incidents like this, which are in fact rather similar to the methods used at Abu Ghraib, appear to be part of NYPD culture.

I demand this as a taxpayer of New York City.

Mineo added, "My ex-wives are going know about this too, when I get married multiple times over and inevitably divorced, leaving me penniless and suicidal."

they should give him an apology, 15 bucks and a bottle of ointment.

'How am I supposed to feel?'

Sore?

"My kids are going to know about this when I have a kid."

If you don't tell him perhaps he'll never find out?? Perhaps. Change your name and move out of the city after you get your Millions.

what's to explain?

"the NYPD stuck it up my ass and now i'm gonna stick it up theirs."

easy.

hahaha!
