Yes I know this is an old story before someone says this....But to me nothing is too old to witness Cops up to their old tricks...
For anyone who is familiar with the 103 Precinct in the Jamaica area....I would GUARANTEE that "Detective Butler" was one of the officers who did the beating...

Those of you who do not know Detective "Butler" works Tuesday nights(don't know what other days) in the night shift usually starting after 6pm....
He rides around in a Black car around the South Jamaica area jumping out of the car with his fellow officer randomly and harrasses any Black male that he sees walking with a hood on at night. He did it to me before..
He does not seem like he is liked by his own fellow cops and they stay out of his way(from what i notice) ....
Brolic as hell and loves puffing his chest out to intimidate people...

The Queens district attorney’s office is investigating a former Marine’s claim that he was punched and kicked in the face by cops as they ejected him from the 103rd Precinct stationhouse, where he had gone to retrieve a friend’s personal property.
Dwight Edwards, 35 — who served in combat in Afghanistan, where he was severely injured by an improvised explosive device — suffered a fractured eye socket in the alleged attack.
“He walked into the precinct unscathed and came out beaten,” lawyer Joel Berger said Thursday after filing a lawsuit in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Edwards was not arrested or even given a summons.
Already diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of a brain injury he suffered in the bombing, Edwards has been severely depressed since the Jan. 2 incident at the police station and checked himself into a hospital for treatment this week, according to his girlfriend, Alicia Branford.
A spokesman for District Attorney Richard Brown said the allegations are under “active investigation” by prosecutors and the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau. A police spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

Queens County District Attorney Richard A. Brown's office is looking into the claims Dwight Edwards was beaten since 103rd Precinct station.
Edwards was interviewed by authorities last month and picked out one cop from a photo array, Berger said.
After a friend was arrested for urinating in public, Edwards went to the police stationhouse in Jamaica to pick up his pal’s cell phone and wallet. An unidentified officer near the front desk told Edwards, “Get the f--- out of my precinct,” the suit states.
Edwards replied, “There’s no law in here,” which prompted the cop to shout, “What did you say?” and tackle him. Another officer allegedly kicked Edwards in the face three times, the suit states. “Who the f--- do you think you are?” the kicker allegedly said.

The Marine veteran’s girlfriend was waiting for Edwards outside the stationhouse.
“He was yelling, ‘You kicked me in the face!’ ” Branford told the Daily News. “He said, ‘I served in the Marine Corps and this is how you treat people?’ ”
Edwards, who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant but now lives in Florida, immediately went to the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Brooklyn for treatment and reported the beatdown.
He has no criminal record, and he served in the Marine Reserves from 2003 to 2006.
