Philadelphia teen suffers testicle injury by police and told possibly never be able to father kids.

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

The 16-year-old student at Mathematics, Civics & Sciences Charter School said one of his teammates may have smarted off to an officer staring them down, and he said the boys ran when the police officer approached them.

Manning admits that he ran at first out of fear, but then he stopped.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.

Police records show that Manning, who is black, fought with Officer Thomas Purcell, who is white, after he stopped running, striking the officer three times and ripping off his police radio.


A lawyer for the family told KYW-TV that the family would speak to police only after the misdemeanor charges are dropped.

Police video shows only portions of the incident because the camera had been set to pan back and forth, but the station reported that it appeared to show a routine patdown and struggle between the boy and two officers.

Run away from, resist and fight the police, brehs

Grand jury exonerates Phila. police officer

An investigating grand jury has found no evidence that a female police officer seriously injured a teenager's genitals during a stop-and-frisk search earlier this year, District Attorney Seth Williams said Thursday.

Um, this detail from that article appears important:

"The grand jury, in reviewing medical records, found that there was no medical evidence that Manning's testicle had been ruptured or undergone trauma.

Manning went to Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania the day after his arrest. The attending urologist there that day, Gregory Tasian, testified that he saw no signs of trauma during an exploratory operation to check for a testicular rupture."



Here's more detail from another article:

"But subsequent medical records indicated there was no rupture, and a small blood clot or a varicocele was found and removed. A varicocele forms when valves inside the testicle veins prevent blood from flowing properly. The blood backs up causing swelling and widening of the veins. The condition is common in males between the ages of 15 to 25 and occurs on the left testicle. Varicoceles usually develop slowly and don’t cause sterility."

The boy's own lawyer admitted in a press conference that the varicocele in his testicle was a pre-existing condition and unrelated to the patdown. So it appears that regardless of what happened, the claims of the ruptured testicle were false. Whether or not the officer touched his testicles remains disputed. Everyone here knows I'm hard on cops, and I'm guessing the boys were probably racially profiled, but there were major details here that were misreported.

“I blame myself,” Coney said. “I taught my son to respect cops, not to fear them. Maybe if he was afraid, he would have run like the other boys and he would have been OK.”

Lemme just say that as a black person in this country I can tell she didn't teach this boy a damn thing. We can't afford to send our kids into the world naive like this. Whole story had red flags everywhere.




I recall being 16 and my father pulling me aside to give me " the rules are different for you" speech. He covered everything from not running, not talking, not fighting, not doing the face covering thing, etc.

This might sound harsh, but if i came home and told this story of how I got my balls ruptured to my parents, both of them would continue beating me for being stupid risking my life in that police interaction. I'm certain they'd do a family intervention and bring in uncle's, grandparents,etc to further tell me how stupid I was being during the interaction.

Agree on the general point, but a doctor isn't too likely to fabricate a claim this big while under oath. If he really had repaired a ruptured testicle, there'd be multiple people in the emergency room who could testify against him as well as probably some sort of internal scarring/sutures that would prove he was lying. Not to mention that they have the original medical reports from the examination which I doubt the doctor could edit in retrospect.

Obviously someone is lying so we can't know everything, but this seems to be the sequence we can pin down:

1) Police started mad-dogging a group of teenagers, decent chance it was racial profiling.

2) One of the teenagers mouthed off to an officer, and when that officer approached them, the kids ran.

3) One of the kids got caught and fought back/struggled with officers to some degree.

4) That kid got arrested and patted down by a female officer. The kid claims she grabbed his junk, she claims she never even touched his junk. Video is inconclusive. One of them is lying or at least exaggerating.

5) The kid is charged with assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and reckless endangerment. While in custody he makes no mention of any problem with his testicles.

6) The next day, his mom takes him to the doctor saying that an officer pulled on his junk and he has serious testicular pain. The doctor does an exploratory surgery and finds no rupture of the testicle. However, he does find a small pre-existing blood clot. In testimony before a grand jury, the doctor says there was no sign of trauma.

7) The boy and his mother push a story to the media claiming that his testicle was ruptured by the police and he may be unable to have children.

8) Later after the medical records come out, the boy's lawyer admits there was no rupture and admits the blood clot was preexisting, but says there was trauma.


I'm happy to be corrected but so far that seems to be the sequence of events. Unless there's any missing evidence, it seems pretty predictable that the grand jury isn't going to approve an indictment in this case and I'm someone who feels police need to be indicted about 200x more often than they currently are. There is zero chance that he was gonna win a conviction in court considering the lack of evidence.

Quickly, please.

XSCAPE and SVW have some type of reality show dispute over who should be the group to headline on a tour. Which group should be the closing act?

Quickly, please.

XSCAPE and SVW have some type of reality show dispute over who should be the group to headline on a tour. Which group should be the closing act?

You mean which one should close out of XSCAPE and SVW, or which 3rd group should close after the two of them?

Spoiler

The answer either way is fukk if I know, I don't know anything about either.
