Really? Really. It took action from the Department of Justice to make this happen.
It’s stories like this that show us why respect for police is as low as it is.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland police will stop hitting people on the head with their guns and document any time they unholster them, according to a consent decree between the U.S. Justice Department and Cleveland police released today.
The Justice Department found in a 21-month investigation that began in 2013 that Cleveland police routinely bash people on the head with their guns, sometimes accidentally firing them, according to a 58-page report released in December.”

so, what i take away from about this is,, they will stop pistol wiping ( which btw is aggravated assault with intent to do great bodily harm short of murder with a weapon) so now they will beat you with something else other then their duty weapon.. so next is the 6 cell mag light , the aluminum billy club, or the solid one , the butt of their door breaching shot gun , or what ever solid item they can get their hands on
in other words , none of the beatings will stop for the right reasons , just the tool used to complete the beatings
“Cleveland police will stop hitting people on the head with their guns. They will be issued Louisville Sluggers for that particular job requirement.”
