Cariol Horne discussing her lost pension with WKBW.

there should have been a flag raised when they turn on their own.
In 2006, Cariol Horne was a 19-year Buffalo police department veteran. She rushed to assist another officer on a domestic violence call. When she arrived, she was shocked to see another officer abusing the suspect and what happened next changed her life forever. The suspect was already cuffed, but that didn't stop the arresting officer from attacking:
"He was handcuffed in the front and he was sideways and being punched in the face by Gregory Kwiatkowski," explained Horne.
That was just the beginning:
"Gregory Kwiatkowski turned Neal Mack around and started choking him. So then I'm like, 'Greg! You're choking him,' because I thought whatever happened in the house he was still upset about so when he didn't stop choking him I just grabbed his arm from around Neal Mack's neck," said Horne.
From there, Officer Kwiatkowkski turned his attention to Cariol Horne:
"He comes up and punches me in the face and I had to have my bridge replaced," said Horne.
Cariol Horne was fired and denied her pension after a 19-year career. She's lost every appeal and her case is now being reviewed by the City of Buffalo Common Council.
As for Officer Kwiatkowkski?
Officer Kwiatkowski was forced to retire from the police department after he was suspended for choking another officer on the job, and in a separate incident, punching another officer when he was off the clock.
In May 2014, Kwiatowkski and two other officers were indicted on federal civil rights violations against black teen suspects. 
Kwiatowkski is accused of holding down one of the teens and shooting him with a BB gun.
these guys would be first round picks for Ferguson and other "hire a homicidal cop, and your race relations will quickly erode in your city, cc Ferguson city council.  the protest around the country are more about the criminal intent to harm and kill citizens the killings are ends to those means. as long as those who oppose are political figures elected in those states that don't mind assistance by KKK and refuse to look and repair truths we will have post that speak of dead Black Americans at the hands of murderous White police, denial is not a powerful weapon of opposition it is the switch which adjust the brightness of the light shinning on those who are the subject of that denial.
