A Colorado man filed complaints against three Aurora police officers alleging they beat him, leaving him bruised and with a sprained neck, after they responded to complaints about a particularly loud session of gaming.

Sean Duffy says the officers grabbed him by the hair and bounced his head "like a basketball" against the apartment's metal front door so hard it left a dent. He says they then threw him face down and handcuffed into the back of a police car and called him names as they drove him to the police station, Westword reports.

Police deny the allegations, saying they used appropriate force against a suspect who was resisting arrest

Doesn't surprise me, especially after that san francisco officer shooting that unarmed man laying on his stomache and killing him with a shot to the back of the head. Or that guy who was killed when he came out of his bachelor party unarmed in New York. Or the thousands of other complaints that are filed every year alleging police brutality. The majority of these complaints never see the light of day unless they are caught on tape or the media gets involved. Pretty sad that American citizens can't trust law enforcement anymore.

Yes cops need to use force, but they are increasingly severely abusing their powers.
