Last week, a video of Philadelphia Police Inspector Joseph Bologna beating the absolute shit out of 21-year-old Temple University student Evan Gorski went viral. Gorski went to the emergency room with severe bodily injury, including a head wound that required 10 staples and 10 sutures. If you haven’t seen it, let me warn you that it is absolutely sickening. The kid is on the ground and he takes his billy club and bashes him in the head. If Gorski comes out of this without brain damage of any kind, it will be a miracle.
That same day, Bologna also assaulted 20-year-old Cayley Cohan, for accidentally touching his bike tire while she was walking past him, an incident which can be seen on an equally jarring video.
The “highly decorated and well-respected” officer also has a pretty sketchy history that included telling a Narcotics Field Unit to disable the security cameras in a raid of a bodega — which led to those officers being accused not only of planting evidence, but also stealing from said bodega. Bologna was suspended as a result.
After his suspension, he was moved to a different command, where in just a year and a half “his officers were the subject of a combined 25 civilian complaints and 37 departmental offenses — including claims of physical abuse, thinly supported car stops and home searches, vandalism, threats, and theft.”
Now, one would think that people would see videos of a cop brutally beating protesters who did absolutely nothing to him, perhaps read about the shady things he’s done, and that they would be repulsed. It would be a normal human reaction to what ought to be objectively horrifying behavior.
