It was just before 1 a.m. in Mansfield, Ohio. A 67-year-old man set out on a simple errand: to grab a 50-cent soda from a vending machine at the Car Wash & Mini Mart, just a block from his home. But he would never get that soda, because the Mansfield Police Department rolled up on him and immediately detained him for allegedly jaywalking across this empty street. Knowing that he did nothing wrong, the man complained. But he was then forcefully grabbed and then slammed to the parking lot asphalt, severely injuring him. An army of officers then surrounded him, mocked him and belittled him. All the while ignoring his obvious physical injuries.
