North Carolina Man gets his leg broken by cops, then goes to jail because he wouldn't stand in c

He was "in serious and intense pain because of his shattered leg, was confused as to why he had been arrested, was extremely frustrated by the heckling, that no one believed he was seriously hurt, and that he was not getting urgently needed medical attention." It took Magistrate Bostrom 4 minutes to find Artis in contempt of court and sentence him to 30 days in jail, with no bond. He was to lie on the ground with no way of moving.

At least he has court records to show what happen, even when the cop lies about not recalling the incedent. How foolish of that stupid cop. If the judge says there are no court records, then someone that was working along with the court to dictate the proceedings should come forward. Get rid of the cop and the stupid judge.
