Phoenix police again. Hold man, not charged with crime, against hot pavement.. skin bubbled, 30 days in burn unit

WARNING: This report contains graphic images. Viewer discretion is advised. As Phoenix police deal with the fallout of the violent beating of a deaf man and face the threat of federal oversight, the department is now set to face a lawsuit after a man suffered third-degree burns across much of his body during a detainment. Michael Kenyon, who has not been charged with a crime for the incident, spent more than a month hospitalized with burns on his face, arms, chest, and legs.

How do I know?

I lived in Phoenix as a young man during the eighties. I was arrested twice for unpaid parking tickets. I witnessed multiple incidents of brutality during those short stays.

I left, and I will never return. I moved to California, met my wife, ran a small business and retired. I raised a lawyer and a math teacher.

Phoenix was Hell for me. Glad I escaped.
