Octogenarians arrested and brutalized by thug police!
PHOENIX, Arizona - November 4, 2009 - Ray Moore was wrestled to the ground by a cop, a knee in his back while he was cuffed, apparently bleeding. Both he and his friend George Morrell were arrested and spent the bulk of the day in jail.
"There were five cop cars there,'' said Donna Morell, George's wife. "Five. My husband and Ray were in different cells all day, in solitary. They're in their 80s, you know,'' she said.
Morell is 85 and Moore is 82. They were playing tennis at their club in the Sun City West, Arizona retirement community, where they have been members for many years. Apparently, Morell didn't show his membership card before taking the court.
When asked for it, he produced a photocopy, not the original.
That was the offense. From there, an argument is understandable, but somehow it got all the way to the club calling police and the officers throwing them in jail after a ruckus.
When asked why George had a photocopy of his card, his wife said, "He loses his card all the time. So he made a copy and put it in his tennis bag. He has been using that copy for two years. He was arrested for trespassing at a club where he's a member.''
Morrell, a World War II veteran, is going to court on Thursday for trespass and hindering the officer.
