Sharing among brothers is a great thing. The close-knit Armstrong family even share run-ins with the Denver Police. Pops Armstrong was shot to death by the po-po in 1980, and Earl, the elder brother, the community activist, police critic and wife beater, is convinced that his younger brother, Thomas Charles, wound up seriously injured and in a coma due to a vendetta harbored by the Denver Police due to his having filed a complaint against an officer 2 years before the incident which left T.C. hospitalized. Yes that's right. For 2 years, the Denver Police were itching for a chance of get-back and finally hit pay dirt the day they found Earl's younger brother drugged up and going bonkers in the middle of the street. "Oh look! It's that Armstrong guy! Kick his ass!"
Now that a Denver jury found little brother T.C. guilty of resisting arrest, this will undoubtedly be used as proof of persecution and the excuse for future run-ins with the law. The civil right$ lawsuit goes ahead.
Marxist rag Worker's Weekly World has seized on this story to push its leftist agenda and made some rather entertaining claims, none of which are sourced, needless to say. Among the highlights are that the Armstrong family are "under constant police surveillance," that Earl is followed "every time he leaves his home," was *gasp* "stopped and cited," and that T.C. had suffered "bite marks."
