Cossack Methods
Surely officers do not carry
guns merely as ornaments.
Certainly, also, police who are
equipped with black-jacks and
billies are not supposed to
use them merely as swagger-
sticks. These weapons are the ;once. It is incumbent of those!
teeth in the law; the men who lin authority, the chief of po-
carry them should know howjjjce. the constable, the sheriff,
to use them effectively, and, ,and over the rnthc county com-
if need lie. fatally. The stories mission and the city contmi.-s-

occasions the officers must be j .

However, officers are sup-
posed to use judgement. It parks. - < ai 31 French veterans
should hardly be necessary to | who e lanes wen; mutilated during
shoot to kill in making an ar-
rest for a traffic law offense:
neither should it be required
that an officer pistol whip a
drunk man. Pistol whipping
consists of striking persons
with the barrel of the gun,
sometimes so turned that the ;
sight of the gun tears the skin :
and the flesh. It is a very
brutal practise, which, ac-
cording to physicians who op-
erated here in the early days
of Borger. was much in vogue
then, both with officers and
any others who carried guns.
One doctor tells The Herald
that daily, in the hectic early
times, he was called on to
treat men who were pistol
whipped, and that usually
their wounds consisted of two
cuts, one over each eye, ap-
parently made by sweeping
glancing blows on the fore-
head wth the gun-barrel, the
sight so turned as to operate j
like a plow across the vic-
tim's face.
The Herald thinks that any
man who is qualified to be an
officer is also qualified to
handle all except the most ex-
traordinary and dangerous!
cases without making use of
such brutality.
in an emergency, where an
officer's life is threatened, it
would be justifiable for an of-;
fleer to strike a man with the
barrel of a pistol, or with any-
thing else which was avail-
able, to subdue him.
It is much easier to beat a
man up and throw his sense-1
less body into an automobile
and then dump it in jail for
Hie night, than it is to take
him, struggling and resisting.
to jail. But the latter method
is the one wheh is approved
in civilized communities. The
former method is one of bar
barium, and should not be
countenanced.
The Herald believes it is L
voicing the sentiment of the |
entire body of law-abiding ci-
tizens when it demands that, ;
where any case of pistol
whipping or similar brutality
on the part of officers devel-
opes, those in authority over
the officers involved institute
a thorough investigation, and,
if they find the officers guilty
of such practises, that they;
discharge them. Extreme eases I
of self-defense should of course :
be except ions.
