Tasered and pepper sprayed in his bedroom by Arizona police, Kyle Cardenas, a US Army combat veteran with the 82nd Airborne Division, who served two tours of duty in Iraq and was honorably discharged in 2006, suffers from “intense signs of PTSD”. He has filed a notice of claim against the Gilbert Police department for using excessive force.
The VA crisis hotline was called by Kyle’s family on his behalf, seeking a crisis team to come to their home. They specifically asked that the police not be called, unfortunately the VA ignored the request.
Police arrived at the house and Kyle tried to have his dog attack them, while also slamming the door in their face. The police told him that he was being detained.
Things went from bad to hell very quickly. View the video and the list of abuses that Kyle endured at the hands of the police on the next page.
Bull$#%&!@*–just stupid–stick your white guilt up your$#%&!@*–
This entire story leaves out what the VA was told, what the VA told the Police and the Police side of what happened ? Were they going there on a mental health commitment ? Did he threaten / attack the officers ? Were any of them injured ? Is he facing any charges ?
Just down right stupid. Hopehe Sue’s the hell out of police department. And get them fired.
I HOPE NOT ! THERE MUST BE A REASON !
with the mess the va is I pray the cops were not listening to them!!!
Prayers going up for the Veteran, this is truly tragic.
This is what happens when you hire a cop for 14.00 to 16.00 an hour. You get what you pay for, unfortunality this is personal experience.
Damn, two military police would’ve had this kid restrained without OC spray or a tazer. You got to stop being pussies.
THEY COULD HAVE HANDLED IT BETTER THAN THAT!!! HOW ABOUT VET LIVES MATTER!!!
Why?
