"I saw him lift his head and spit blood and teeth onto the kitchen floor."

EXTON, PA — Police followed an innocent man into his home, believing that he was a fleeing suspect. When the man protested being handcuffed on his own floor with strangers searched his home, an officer cussed at him and stomped on his head, causing multiple facial fractures and shattered teeth. The scene was so gruesome that a cop testified against a fellow cop. Yet instead of being fired, that stomping officer was later promoted, and now has been officially cleared of violating the victim’s civil rights.

The incident dates back to August 19th, 2009, when a multi-agency drug task force performed a raid on a home on East Swedesford Road in Exton, Pennsylvania. Officers from the West Whiteland Police Department joined forces with the Pennsylvania State Police “Clandestine Drug Lab Team.” The group dressed in black masks and carried long guns into the targeted residence about 9:30 p.m. to stop the inhabitants from getting high.

Things did not go smoothly for the cops, as two of the suspects were able to escape through the back door. Officers resorted to combing the neighborhood for individuals matching the suspects’ description. A few blocks a way, officers came upon a young male wearing shorts and no shirt, entering a residence on nearby Heather Lane.
That man was actually 20-year-old Zachary W. Bare, who had just returned home from swimming in Brandywine Creek. The residence he entered was his own home, where he lived with his disabled mother.

Officers suspected Mr. Bare of being involved with a plot to get high without government permission. They entered his home without permission and confronted him in his kitchen. Bare was ordered him to the floor and cuffed, so that officers could then perform a warrantless search on his house.

A Boot to the Skull Mr. Bare was compliant but understandably upset, as armed paramilitary men had accosted him and invaded his domicile. Another officer entered the home and approached Bare wearing a mask and carrying a shotgun.

That officer was a veteran drug enforcer, later identified as Pennsylvania State Trooper Kelly Cruz. Cruz had been imprisoning people for getting high as long as Zachary Bare had been alive. The trooper, who lives in Oxford, is a “prolific and productive narcotics agent,” according to his own attorney (http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/zachary-bare/an%20unknown%20Pennsylvania%20state%20trooper%20wi th%20a%20black%20mask%20over%20his%20face), with multiple tours of combat experience in the Middle East.

Mr. Bare remained prone on his kitchen floor, face-down and handcuffed. When he had the audacity to talk back to Trooper Cruz in his own home, the veteran officer told him to “shut the f*** up.” Cruz then raised his jackboot above Bare’s head and stomped on his skull.

After being essentially curb-stomped, Bare’s head had been fractured in 2 places; his nose was broken; his upper teeth were driven upward into his gums and jaw. He spit a mess of blood and teeth onto the floor.

Bare was determined to have not been involved with the supposed “meth lab” a few streets away and was never charged with any crime.

After a six-day trial, the jury sided with the stomping trooper. Dozens of like-minded fellow officers cheered for joy.

Yup, some SWLODs and a healthy dose of "working within the system" will fix this right up.

Certainly do not resist, like this man did...


Mr. Bare was compliant

Oh, right, well, damn it, he was not compliant enough...if he could still speak through his smashed face, he should have thanked the brave officer for his service.

Not intentionally malevolent.

There just aren't words to describe the anger and frustration I feel after reading stories like these. The fact that these filthy excuses for human beings feel vindicated in their treatment of the innocent and that the grand jury and prosecutors would turn them loose again on others, well there just are no words to my frustration. This will only get worse as one generation builds off of the excesses of the previous one.

Not intentionally malevolent.

And if the term like-minded officers doesn't send chills up your spine...

You must be one of those violence prone conspiracy theorists.

Chills?

Because of these guys?

They keep me safe and defend my values. (When they are not getting fluffy kitties out of trees or helping grandma cross the street)

Antifed promotes acquiescence to the abuses and fear of them.

Antifed puts down lawful and peaceful ways to end the abuses.

We need to exercise our first constitutional right, to "alter or abolish". First action, clean up states.

"...a boot stomping on a human face, forever."

But certainly not intentionally malevolent.

Amirite?

Not intentionally malevolent is correct.

I will laugh loudly when someone shoots this bastard.

[CCTelander]

So, this was a non- malevolent face stomping? That would make it a benevolent face stomping done purely for the victim's own good?

My head is starting to hurt.

[Root]

Bare did this to himself.

hey, the cop didn't know his own strength...it happens....give em a break...

Peeing gets you jail time, but fucking someone's face just cause gets you an applause.

[LibForestPaul]

This is why all those who want to 'correct the system', 'fix America', 'Constitutionalists' can go to hell, along with this country and its fucking citizens. Nothing here worth fixing or saving. Quicker this country dies, quicker liberty may have a chance to be reborn.

[Danke]

Actually, YOU can go to hell. It's people who talk like you who gives the rest of us a bad name. And you are naive as all hell if you think that liberty can just spring up like magic if this country dies. Killing this country is what they are after and then, we will be rushed into world government. Wake up and smell the coffee and start hating the bad guys, NOT your country.

And then try watching this video. Here's a man who LOVES his country and actually has balls who traveled thousands of miles to stand against what the federal government is trying to do to the Bundy's. He hates the oppressive government, but LOVES his country. They are two entirely different things.

Of course he did, because government is not intentionally malevolent.

Guys in Congress advised our country was in its death agonies in 1933, so maybe its been dead and ain't coming back.

All cops know is violence. All the State knows is violence.

[thoughtomator]

Honestly, these guys that don't respond in kind to these kinds of abuses are cowards. If anything of the like happened to me, you can bet your life I'd leave a trail of pain behind that would not be soon forgotten.

[tod evans]

Until folks like you and I start making these goons lives public we can expect this BS to continue...

Anyone and everyone should be able to simply do a google search and find any government employees name and home address.

Hatfield and McCoy type of feuds are the only thing that'll put an end to this behavior, no amount of protesting or voting, no letter writing or internet bitching will ever be effective....

When a "human" makes the decision to don paramilitary gear and assault his neighbors he must not be secure in his own home!

OK so WTF is poor Boobus to do ?

Man up and fight back is the only option....

That or lie down and roll over...

Folks of my generation who are getting long in the tooth need to step up and stand up for our younger friends and family members who are assaulted.

If "they" choose to wage war "we" are pussy's if we don't fight back.....

Bare did this to himself.

Dang it. You beat me to it.


Yes he did this to himself. And the jury agreed. He deserved getting his face shattered and teeth strewn about his own kitchen floor. If only he would talk nicely to the officer as they illegally raid his home, and place him in handcuffs and push him into the ground.

He has nothing to hide...so why does he need to protest? Amirite?




Oh ya...and what you guys are failing to see...The officer feared for his safety...You know...they were in a strangers home who committed no crime and was laying face first on the ground handcuffed...But the officer feared when the guy started barking back. you know an officer can lose hearing when you shout too loud...He needs to quiet that guy in order to protect his ears...Because the officer needs to make it home safe without hearing impairment...

[Mani]

Sometimes I wouldn't mind if the "nothing to hide crowd" which wouldn't mind seeing the 4th amendment scratched off the constitution, were one of the guys having their face shattered in their own home as they yell, "BUT I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!"

But then I realize I actually wouldn't even want an enemy to have their face and teeth shattered in such a sickening and torturous way, let alone ignorant boobus, so I just sigh in disgust. :(

[jclay2]

Is it just me, or are these police militarized uniforms getting more and more cartoonish? The picture in the op represent something out of Halo more than anything else.

[thoughtomator]

Yeah, I dunno. Karma demands at least a couple of them be condemned for having the audacity to let their jagged pieces of shattered skull scuff heroic officers' boots.

[Suzanimal]

Stomps an innocent man in the face and the brave officer gets a promotion....



Trooper Cruz was never fired, and actually received a promotion to the rank of Corporal in October 2012.

I am naive. Yes, because I do not listen to what cops have to say, or licensed professionals, or retired peoples, or teachers, or welfare mothers, or government workers... If you think these people want 'saving', knock yourself out.
