Chicago police officers accused of forcing man to pose for photo during Pittsburgh G-20 summit | StarTribune.com — This never ends.
The Chicago Police Department is investigating several of its officers accused of forcing a college student they arrested during last month’s G-20 summit in Pittsburgh to pose for a group photo with them.
The department, which has been dogged by embarrassing allegations of misconduct in recent years, began investigating the Pittsburgh claims after video of the alleged incident was posted on YouTube.
The video apparently shows about 15 police officers in riot gear posing for a photo with a man they detained kneeling in front of them.
Kyle Kramer, the 21-year-old University of Pittsburgh student forced to pose with police, was returning to campus from a pizza parlor when he was detained by police who were rounding up protesters, his attorney Cristopher Hoel told The Associated Press on Friday.
“He was a college student arrested for walking on campus. That seems to me to make him a victim,” Hoel said.

Well, there go his chances of employment after college.
A victim…of a picture…right…If you want picture victims, go ask an Englishman…
Cry, America. Cry.
Oh, Chicago – no problem…
Police apologists in 3-2-1 …
Real big game hunting. At least he is white, that’s progress isn’t it?
Yes pedro, the guy was returning back to his dorm after eating a pizza. No pedro, he isn’t a protester.
What, Pittsburgh doesn’t have enough goons of their own, they have to import them from Chicago now?
From the full article:
“Some, though, wondered whether Kramer may have willingly posed for the photo with the officers.”
Oh, right! I got arrested for “failing to disperse” as I was walking home from a pizza parlor, so, Heck Yeah, Can I be in some Cop photos as the Trophy? Can I? Huh? Can I?
Evidently the Obama administration still has not toned down the police state mentality created by the Cheney administration.
Imagine if they’d gotten the Olympics!
