Getting back to Altoona. Then I took Amtrak to Pittsburgh. There was only one guy working at the train station. He was really nice and didn't charge me for storing my luggage there while I biked around. Not carrying luggage definitely helped a lot. Unfortunately because my schedule was very constrained, I could not visit when the Railroaders Memorial Museum would be open. That justifies another trip to Altoona. #pennsylvania #altoona #streetphotography #church #cathedral #architecture #appalachia #photography #darktable
Next up Altoona. The city itself is not bike friendly, but the surrounding area has many very quiet roads that I enjoyed. It's very hilly. It was September and this part of PA already got fall colors. #pennsylvania #altoona #fall #fallfoliage #ontheroad #photography #darktable

Much like that older Altoona case, this most recent one parallels Luigi's case on the issues of when a person must ID themselves to cops.

In this case the cops were called bc of neighbors arguing(their neighbors karened out and called the cops).

The cops say they showed up "to hear both sides" and some how ended up illegally entering an apartment and beating+arresting a man who was not even involved in the initial report.

Altoona PD responds to 'viral' video of alleged use of force; internal review underway

The Altoona Police Department is responding to a "viral" video of a recent arrest after officers were called to a local apartment complex on the Fourth of July,

Now if this weren't all bad enough and dear readers I could understand a few sweet summer children thinking:

"maybe it was JUST one bad apple, its been a few years maybe they got better"

And if that's you, might wanna sit down for this one but here's a story hot off the Altoona presses showing that NO. These local cops have no fucking clue what the constitution is at all.

Detwiler is alleged to have been present, I can't confirm due to cop secrecy.

Cop Beats Man For ID Refusal - UPDATE

YouTube

In that similar PA case Detwiler eventually chased and subdued a random bystander and recovered a firearm and drugs.

The problem is that Detective Detwiler was called for a noise complaint, had NO description of the person at all and had no reason to be suspicious of this person other than the fact they were existing in a "high crime area"

All of this evidence was thrown out and Pennsylvania courts had to explain to Detwiler exactly where he fucked up.

In that previous case, useless cop Detective Detwiler, got called to a noise complaint inside of a building.

Some how he took it upon himself to select a random person outside near the building to investigate and instigated a foot chase for no known reason at all.

Even his police report from the day recounts that he selected this person NOT bc of the noise at all.

He never even made contact with the building he was initially called to for the noise complaint.
