Allegations of Brutality Rock CSU Police Department

Abstract:
Charges of brutality involving a CSU police officer surfaced this summer following a May incident in which two students were told to vacate a campus building, resulting in the arrest and hospitalization of one of them.

I can believe that this incident happened. The CSU police are very aggressive and disrepectful. In a recent run-in I had with CSU police, I found the officer who issued me a ticket was very intimidating and trying to use his "power" to pressure me. I was issued a ticket for not making a complete stop at a stop sign, when the car right in front of me didn't stop at all. To make a long story short the officer was very rude and aggressive with his tone of voice with me and I feel that it's only natural to respond to this the same way.

I've had run-ins with these jokers as well. I've found the female cops to be a very aggressive for some reason, especially the short female cop with the mole on her face. She is off the chain.

The C.S.U. police are aggressive at times but I feel that they have to be. As a former police officer and correctional officer I can see both sides of the coin. Lets face it the South Side of Chicago has its share of crime and some of these characters like to take a short cut through the campus to and from the liquor store on Cottage Grove. These bums will take advantage of any opportunity to make money and feed their addictions. Thus resulting in building break-ins and stolen property. On top of all that the police still have to deal with students who have that criminal mindset within them. And finally lets be real most of the C.S.U. police are people who wanted to join a "real" police department but couldn't make the mark for whatever reason. So when they get hired here at C.S.U., after a year they realize all they are is high paid babysitters so it makes sense that when some real crime fighting comes their way 9 times out of 10 they are going to overreact. And from personal experience the C.S.U. Police have their priorities backwards sometimes. For example they will go above and beyond the call of duty to catch someone smoking "pot" on campus however real crimes like rape,theft, and assualt are looked upon as a paperwork ordeal that they would rather not mess with unless they have to.

That looks like lots of fun. When I was in college we didn't had so many fun activities.

i think that its sad when a police officers have to fight and hospitalize the students in which they are suppose to be protecting.
