Tampa, Florida: Police torture, kill Ohio man with pepper spray

Doug Smith
FOX 13 Investigative reporter

TAMPA - No doubt you've heard the adage: a picture is worth a thousand words. A picture of 62-year-old Nick Christie could be worth thousands of dollars when a jury sees it.

The photo shows the Ohio man restrained inside the Lee County Jail with his body covered in pepper spray.

"This photo is a picture of a man who is strapped to a chair naked inside a jail for hours with a hood over his face. That evokes thoughts of being tortured," says Cleveland-based lawyer Nick DiCello who represents the Christie family.

Now that is a freakin' outrage!

If this was for being drunk in public, or something like that, then even more of an outrage.

This revolution is bigger than Ron Paul. We the People are awake.

We will be the only ones who remind the police and Mayor's/Sheriff's that their job is to protect us from others and serve us when we need their help. Nothing more, nothing less, or simply voted into oblivion.

This just ain't right

Seems to be getting a lot worse. Do any of these guys know what the Constitution is?

The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman.

I'm not much of an alarmist...

...but I'm starting to think it's RP2012 or doom for th US.

Glad to see you're coming around...

I have been warning about this since 2007, catching lots of flack for "advocating violence" at this site. Now you realize, I was trying to avoid violence by making certain the other side knew "the cost of doing business" before it is too late.

We WILL prevail

The spring has been breached. And the water is flowing out so fast, nothing can stop it.

New convert here. But just as confident.

Ron Paul 2012!

Peace and joy this season!

This really PISSES me off!

Welcome to the Police People's Republic of the USA.

What a devastatingly sick and revolting story. Unfortunately part and parcel indicative of the current statist regime.

F YOU you stupid cop statists. You F-ing work for US and not VICE VERSA. WE pay your F-ing salary so drop the F-ing pepper spray.

You work for US. You are employed by US. WE give you authority. Anything beyond that is not YOURS to give or enforce.

G-dammit. Merry Christmas to all to the peace lovers out there...

But F YOU to the cops that caused this man's death.

That lady was courageous to come forward.

Well that's it. I think with

Well that's it. I think with all this and police slamming doors down in the middle of the night and killing family pets, and strip searching old ladies and children, it is HIGH time that the UN sends troops to bomb us due to horrible human rights violations.
