EVIDENCE REVEALS ROGER SHULER WAS VICTIM OF GROSS POLICE BRUTALITY, BUT NO EVIDENCE OF ARREST WARRANT

This is Carol, Roger's wife...An Alabama deputy shoved Legal Schnauzer publisher Roger Shuler to a concrete floor three times and maced him before ever stating that he was inside the Shuler home to make an arrest.

That was one of several stunning revelations during Shuler's resisting arrest trial in Shelby County Tuesday
Much of the evidence was produced from a stream from a video that was generated by a camera in the vehicle of Deputy Chris Blevins.

"In the audio you can hear Deputy Blevins assaulting me three times and spraying me with mace before he ever said that he was on the premises to conduct an arrest," Shuler said.
"The evidence showed that I was defending myself with the only physical act that I did according to Blevins' own words was raising my arms in a defensive posture, and I was defending myself against a grotesque example of police brutality and excessive force."
Evidence showed that Blevins probably had no warrant given that the prosecution could produce no warrant at the trial.
"The notion that a journalist or any other citizen could be arrested and beaten up in their own home without a warrant should be a cause of great concern for all citizens."

Assistant District Attorney Tonya Willingham prosecuted the case and when forced to turn over copies of any warrants, she said she did not have one.
How can a resisting arrest case be prosecuted when there are no warrants in evidence?
That's one of many disturbing questions raised by Tuesday's trial.
