Police Officer Breaks Man’s Arm (Video); City Officials Take Second Look at Charges

Wang said in his police report that Rice had refused orders to step away from the seal and kept walking when told he was under arrest.

The incident reportedly left Rice with broken bones in his hand, but he refused medical attention and signed a waiver of prosecution for injuries suffered during his arrest.

But Hawaii News Now reported Tuesday that an attorney for Rice said he plans to sue the city of Honolulu for police brutality.

“This guy was a threat to no one other than the seal,”Attorney Michael Green told HNN. “And the seal and he had parted ways long before that. This is shameful.”

Naturally, Wang has been back on the force – probably attacking other defenseless people – since the prosecutor decided to not charge him. Which in itself, since Wang is a police officer, is nothing new but he has a violent history pattern. In 2009 Wang was charged with misdemeanor domestic abuse and later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and petty misdemeanor harassment. That little plea deal, knocking the charge down to a petty crime, is what allowed Wang to keep his job.

Even without the past history of aggression, what Wang did to a man with an illness is simply disturbing. HE basically stalked the man, annoyed him and then beat him before taking him to a cage. This also goes to show just how broken the system is. Not only did ‘authorities’ allow Rice to refuse medical attention, they also duped him (IMO) into signing a waiver of legal ramifications for the abuse from their employee.

If the system (police, jailers, judges, and attorneys) is so broken that no one stands up for a man who was attacked, caged, and tricked, then who the hell does it stand up, or work, for?

Hopefully this is the last straw for Wang and he’ll lose his job. Yet, I wouldn’t be running off to Las Vegas to bet on it. Even if charged he’ll probably be given a plea that ensures he can keep up his aggressive nature while sporting a costume and badge.
