    A UPMC police officer assaulted a Uniontown man during a medical transport and then lied about the incident to file criminal charges and have him involuntarily committed, a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday claims.

    Huh. Cops lied again. Just another day.

      I live like 20 mins from Uniontown. Sounds especially right for this area. Haven’t met a single cop in my whole life that wasn’t abusing their power constantly and being a total POS all day every day.

    Why don’t cops take desensitization training so they can control their anger whenever someone insults them? How do you not laugh off being called a dork and a virgin?

      Because they were called that when they were kids, leading to them becoming cops. They never got over it and here we are now. If life couldn’t teach them, there’s no way they’re getting anything from a workplace training.
