POLICE DEPUTIES Apparently TORTURE Man in Tennessee
Looks like the good ole' boys in Campbell County, TN know how to rough up people when they serve them with a search warrant....... Read complete story at this link....http://www.volunteertv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2071922&nav=4QcHP2uw

The attorney of the man who's accusing five Campbell County deputies of abusing him has held a news conference and released at statement.

If you'll remember Tuesday, Sheriff Ron McClellan fired Will Carroll, David Webber, Shayne Green, Samuel Franklin, and Joshua Monday in the midst of the abuse probe.

The statement, which was given at a press conference Wednesday evening by Siler's attorney, Michael Farley, states that Siler was beaten for "almost 2 hours with the officers striking Mr. Siler numerous times about the face and body." The report also alleges that Siler endured "other forms of torture," but refused to detail these claims.

The statement continues, "the fact that Mr. Siler has had prior drug convictions and the fact that Campbell County Sheriff's Department alleges that he may have been involved in other drug activity does not give any officer the right to torture and abuse someone and blatantly violate the rights of a person afforded by the Constitution of the United States."

2. They are just following orders
from the White House. The news on tv also said the abused man was afraid to live back at his trailer. He fears for his life... His attorney had put him up in an undisclosed location...

3. MORE INFO ON TELEVISION news at 11PM
also stated that the man.s family members has a RECORDING of the actual incident. The attorney would not elaborate on what kind of a recording it was, but only said that Tennesseans would be shocked to see how Campbell county treats it's suspects when they serve search warrants...
