Khaled Said was a 28 year-old Alexandrian that did not see his 29th birthday. He was a victim of Hosni Mubarak’s security police who seized the young man while he was at an Internet cafe this past June, and beat him severely before crashing his skull against the sidewalk. His crime: he was computer savvy and was exposing police corruption on line. His death occurred in broad daylight.
Women’s Lens ran the story on June 14th, 2010 together with a photo of Said, post beating. Said’s last post was a video to the Internet of Egyptian police sharing profits from a drug deal. The original article which ran in Arabic-language paper Al-Shorouk related the incident which has since been shared on Facebook by over 7,000 people.
In Egypt, massive demonstrations followed the death of Khaled Said. As reported by trueslant.com, in less than 48 hours, 100,000+ Egyptians joined his Facebook memorial page.

Of course he was handcuffed!
In a groundbreaking response, the Little Rock police broke the tradition of denial and downplay, took ownership, and even initiated corrective action against the offending officer.
(jaw drops - speechless)
Of course he is still a cop!
That being said, the "groundbreaking response" barely scratches the surface...

CIEGO DE ÁVILA, Cuba, December 23 (Tico Morales, APLA / www.cubanet.org) - Madrigal, a man with mental problems and well known in the community, took his clothes off during one of his usual crisises and walked around town in his birthday suit, without no one, not even the popular social workers coming to his aid.
Madrigal was beaten with baton by several policemen, and while they were handcuffing him, the most famous insane person in town was strangled by these men in uniform.
People were so infuriated with the police, that the Secretary of the Communist Party, from Ciego de Ávila, “compañero Tapia”, traveled to the area to calm things and ordered that the Florencia Chief of Police be demoted.
During the victims funeral, new fights broke out when family members began attacking the police in attendance at the holy ground, throuing anything they could get their hands on at them.CIEGO DE ÁVILA, Cuba, December 23 (Tico Morales, APLA / www.cubanet.org) -... more
