Victim of Salinas police beating indicted for assaulting officer
The only charges against Velasco were those generated by the attack on him by the police. They claim he attacked them with a deadly weapon, assaulted them, and resisted arrest. "My Poor Brother. He is mentally ill and the cops had no right to keep hitting him he was already on the floor. The cops have done this too many times. I see the cops in the ER walking around like they got hurt. Bull shit. He didn't hurt any of them cops. And to do that in front of my mom is so harsh. Praying for everyone in Salinas. The cops are out of control. And they can be: who's going to stop them?" A claim for damages has been ignored by the City of Salinas (attached at end)
