9-Year-Old Boy Watches As His Mom Is Beaten To A Pulp By Police (Video)

(N.Morgan) In this growing Police State violence against the citizens by police is now becoming common place. A confrontation with certain police officers could mean the end of your life. Whether through death or disability, a bad dealing with police can be a life changer. What happened to a Winnipeg woman in one such incident, left her beaten to a bloody pulp and her son with mental scars that may never go away. On Halloween night, Lara Sinclair has filed a formal complaint with the Law Enforcement Review Agency, stating that a Winnipeg police officer assaulted her on Halloween night.
