I’ve been very quiet since March 30 about a beating I took from cop Brayton Long. He told me to go to my apartment. After a talk, next thing I know I’m taken down, handcuffed, then worked over by him. I suffered a big bruise on the left side of my head, right side’s sore as ever, my right knee was all black and blue for two weeks. My left hand still hurts from the cuffs. And at jail, I got flung around by two officers. And then I’m accused of assaulting an officer and going to trial. For what? What next for Mr. Long? My belief is this: He doesn’t deserve a badge or a gun. He should be locked up. He isn’t honest at all. Many have seen the beating I took, including a doctor.
