The West Allis Police say that Michael Stanke was drunk and belligerent when he was arrested last Saturday evening. Police video shows him sitting in the squad car and beating his head against the window.
Stanke, on the other hand, says that he was dragged out of the squad car, kicked and slammed into the concrete sidewalk. He has hired an attorney.
Later today we'll discuss whether you think this was a "police riot" or instead a reasonable reaction by the cops to an aggressive drunk who was resisting arrest ?
