Family's outrage at cops who violently arrested a father of two for 'appearing intoxicated while taking care of his kids'... but actually has a TERMINAL ILLNESS that makes him look that way
Bane's family says he is a father of two who suffers from Huntington's disease, a terminal illness that causes him to lose some of his motor functions and appear to be intoxicated
Police officers in West Virginia brutally arrested a 39-year-old father of two who they say appeared intoxicated and was handling his kids roughly while walking them to the park.But his outraged family denies that 39-year-old Jeffrey Bane was under the influence on Sept. 6, when he was left choking in his own blood and pleading for help while he was pinned to the ground by four Granville PD cops during the Sept. 6 arrest in Morgantown.
The whole arrest takes some 10 minutes and was recorded in a shocking video uploaded to YouTube.
The family says Bane suffers from Huntington's disease, a genetic and terminal illness that causes sufferers to increasingly lose their motor functions, at times appearing to be under the influence.
'Assuming because of his appearance he was high on narcotics with out reason they began to subdue him, macing and beating him in the head as he fell to his face were he was — then held with a great amount of force by two officers double his size as a third one landed on his torso,' nephew Josh Bane told The Free Thought Project.
Granville PD says officers responded to a report of child abuse when they approached Bane, who appeared intoxicated and was handling his kids roughly, according to the Morgantown Dominion Post.
'The children appeared to be overheated, and when asked about provisions that he had with him for the children, Bane struck the stroller violently with his hand, pushing it forward abruptly while his infant son was still seated inside,' police claim in a report, according to the Post.
The officers also said Bane kicked and tried to spit on the officers. He was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer and battery of a police officer, the Post reported.
