WATCH: Arizona cops assault unarmed man for pulling out his phone during profiling stop

https://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/watch-arizona-cops-assault-unarmed-man-for-pulling-out-his-phone-during-profiling-stop/

As Arthur Velazquez was riding his bike down the street, police claimed that he ‘fit the description’ because he was wearing a hoodie and on a bike, so they stopped him.

While he was detained, he simply pulled out his phone and called his sister out of concern that something bad was about to happen.

Police claim that they feared for their lives when Velazquez told them that he was calling his sister, so they had no other choice but the escalate the situation to violence and beat an innocent man.

“You have additional people coming to the scene, and you are in fear,” Detective Steve Berry, with the Mesa Police Department said in regards to this innocent man using the phone. “Who might be armed, and showing up to assist.”

Overlooking police misconduct doesn’t start with Lt. Joe Gliniewicz, life-long Wash. cop is now a murder suspect

Now, after a lifetime in law enforcement, Aguirre who was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman in his home, could actually be a serial killer. When Aguirre was forced to submit his DNA in the 2014 rape case, it immediately became a match for a 1986 cold case murder of a sex worker in nearby Spokane.

This is kind of a beside the point post. The term "serial killer" would not be appropriate in this case unless they find that he has killed more than this one woman he is accused of murdering.

Ya, I thought that was a bit odd to use that term. But then I clicked on the link "could actually be a serial killer" in the article and read how "Investigators also revealed they were looking back at similar unsolved homicides in Spokane to see if there is a connection to Aguirre. They plan to test evidence collected from the scenes to see if it implicates him.

Police have investigated whether a series of murders between 1986 and 1987 are connected...
The cases of Mary Ann Turner, 30, and Kathleen D. DeHart, 37, remain unsolved, according to a story from the Spokesman-Review newspaper. Turner, a prostitute, was found strangled next to a garage in 1986. DeHart, a topless dancer, was strangled in the basement of an apartment in 1987.

Spokane Detective Kip Hollenbeck determined Aguirre was stationed at the base from January 1984 to early 1988, court documents said."

Still the article could have simply said he was being investigated for other homicides.

Oh okay, thanks Miss Tick. That makes much more sense.
