Posted: Wednesday, 10 June 2009 7:12PM PASSAIC, N.J. (AP) -- A northern New Jersey police officer suspended after being caught on a videotape beating an unarmed man said Wednesday he did nothing wrong. ``I did what was proper,'' Passaic Officer Joseph Rios III said at a news conference at the office of his attorney, Anthony Iacullo. ``I did what I was trained to do under the circumstances that existed at that time. I stand by my actions.'' In the video, parts of which have been shown on television and on the Internet, Rios is seen throwing 49-year-old Ronnie Holloway against the hood of his police car and then to the ground, and appears to punch him and hit him with his baton. Holloway appears to be offering little resistance. According to Iacullo, the video doesn't show what happened earlier. He declined to be specific other than to say that Holloway's words, actions and demeanor justified Rios' actions. The video, taken from a nearby surveillance camera, has no sound. ``There are things that exist before the encounter that is shown on the video that went into Officer Rios' decision to take the action that he did,'' Iacullo said. ``Segments of the video that have been shown are not the total and complete picture of what transpired on that particular day.'' There was no telephone listing for Holloway in Passaic. Holloway's mother, Betty Holloway, told The Record of Bergen County that her son suffers from schizophrenia and was taking a walk at the time of the incident and didn't provoke Rios. Mayor Alex Blanco suspended Rios and fellow officer Erica Rivera Monday, three days after the video from the May 29 incident came to light. Rivera was suspended without pay, allegedly for filing a false report about the incident. Rios was initially suspended with pay, but that was changed to a suspension without pay after Blanco heard from about 200 city residents who came to a regularly scheduled city council meeting Tuesday night. ``The vast majority of our police department are good, hardworking officers,'' Blanco said Wednesday. ``Given the circumstances, the actions taken to suspend both officers were appropriate and warranted. `` The Passaic County Prosecutor's Office is investigating the incident and did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday.

suuuuuure. liar.
It's BS, but even if true, that isn't the way to make an arrest. Welcome to Diversity and Affirmative Action.
Thanks for the link. The tape only showed some victim trying to cross the street.
Hispanic cop, black schizo. Tough call. The cop looks vaguely Kissingerish though. Verdict: black schizo.
Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life. The black guy has a egg shaped head. Is that related to the beating?
It also appears he has a hand growing on the side of his face.
Not to mention complete baldness.
I do believe that's exaggerated. Pic looks squished.

If one doesn't fit neatly into some government category, they're different and must be fixed.-jethro tull
Police state now in effect, coast to coast, and everywhere in between.
You will pay for it if you don't "yes sir".
You will pay for it if you don't "yes sir". Reviewing the video, imo, the cops did initiate the contact with their victim. (And then lied about it in their written report.)
I'm shocked I tell ya, shocked!
A sociopathic above the law pig, with a malignant personality can't differentiate the truth from a lie.
Whatta prick. Fat, salaried public servant 'roid rage taken out on some poor dumb putz a couple short of a six-pack. Don't these guys get any training on how to handle the disturbed? And that aside don't these a$$holes have any common sense? I can't watch these kinds of videos any longer. They just make me sick.
Most pigs are sick, and are beyond any help. There is no treatment for a malignant sociopatic personality disorder, they hide behind a facade their entire lives. The malignant sociopathic personality disorder is a serious mental illness which was once called "moral insanity".
Are they so stupid to not know that we have cameras all over this country that, except for the Pentagon, are running 24/7?
A malignant sociopath ain't stupid, a sociopathic pig, with a malignant personality disorder is seriously and incurably mentally ill.
Yes.
Yes. You're rite, they're stupid too.
You are also correct but I really think they are compensating for an inferiority complex. Classic putting other down to make yourself feel bigger and better. They do it with a badge. "I am better than you because I have a badge."
which probably has its roots in abuse and humiliation somewhere in that person's past & these thugs are too weak to come to terms with it in any other way they displace this stuff on those too physically weak to defend themselves obviously, PD's are recruiting these types in numbers
Uncle Ernie fiddled about in his bedclothes, eh?
Obama's health care plan shall be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who smokes and has no birth certificate, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is overweight and financed by a country that is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong? - buckeroo I'd let the punk have his fun and then even up the score one dark night...

Some guys internalize this stuff and take it out on the weaker ones. Somehow I never had the desire to displace aggression that way.

Holloway's words, actions and demeanor justified Rios' actions.
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791
