Now this is a story that might be hard to believe.....after all, this is all that is being claimed for action by the cop. Consider this...in the world we live in and the stories we see and comment on every day.
Sounds like someone got a butt beating. Perhaps it was overkill...perhaps not. I have no idea, but that isn't what makes this story interesting. We've watched the gymnastics required to bring accountability to Police when people DIE at their hands, unarmed, and unable to fight back. I don't mean people like the robber in Ferguson. I mean people like the homeless guy literally kicked to a bloody pulp, and eventually to death, at the hands of patrol officers in Fullerton, Ca...apparently sick of his crap. No speedy outcomes came in that, or MANY other cases.
Then again, those victims didn't have a Government the US considers important to make friends with, crying foul and demanding action.

This is a bit of a tough one, actually. On one hand, who wants to say that someone who got a beating to give them temporary paralysis shouldn't see justice? On the other hand...how many American citizens who suffer far worse in situations more egregious...do not see their abuser or attacker fired from a Police force over it?
So...I am apt to cry foul, more than a little here..because it most definitely DOES look like preferential treatment to keep a (recently) critical ally both friendly and cooperative.
Must be nice when the US Government is behind you for a routine police brutality complaint. (Bad or not to say? Routine is precisely how this sounds within America today.)
Let all have this level of action....or kindly explain to other nations, we don't have the manpower, money, interest or resources....or whatever Americans get told when they so often get no satisfaction.
Madison police officer Eric Parker was arrested and is being fired after Patel was slammed to the ground and injured while visiting relatives in the town, located near Huntsville. An attorney for Patel said the man suffered partial paralysis in the incident but hopes for a full recovery.
The officer has not commented publicly and court records are not yet available to show whether he has a lawyer.

Syed Akbaruddin, a spokesman for India's External Affairs Ministry, said the government took the incident "very seriously" and was in contact with the U.S. mission in New Dehli.
The government also will contact officials in Washington and Alabama, Akbaruddin said in response to reporters' questions in New Dehli about the treatment of Sureshbhai (pronounced suh-RESH'-beye pah-TEL') Patel in the Tennessee Valley city of Madison.
