Euclid Police Department (Ohio) faces yet another excessive force lawsuit.

A Eugene cop threw down & punched a handcuffed DUII suspect. He was fired, but still can be a cop. Cops in Oregon can stay eligible to carry a gun & badge even after being fired for chronically inept police work. This is Not OK. https://t.co/5QneVjAUWe @rwoolington @carlibrosseau
