I received this in my inbox a few moments ago.
https://www.change.org/p/children-s-hospital-of-philadelphia-hire-najee-rivera?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=261516&alert_id=CzgGVpzWyg_DJ6ClmN3xTOdWhtdtxIWAc54dhDKm97SXIKF%2FbZa495FNhhUM88%2FNfCtgT2V33XG
When the police started to beat me I didn’t know why. It felt like an eternity as their fists and batons hit my face and body. I remember thinking I was going to die just as my life was coming together. When they were done I had orbital skull fractures, an eye swollen shut, and a face in need of stitches and staples. The police would say I attacked them. Luckily, a video surfaced showing I was the victim and now the 2 police officers are charged with aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, and filing false reports. That didn’t stop Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia from firing me. With the swing of a police baton, I lost my dignity and my dream job.
There is a link to a Philadelphia news report about this incident.
Apparently, there was a sizeable monetary settlement, which makes me wonder why he would want to return to the hospital (assuming he is an orderly or similar), but it is likely that the attorneys and the treating hospital got most of that.
Just thought I would pass this along to see if anyone here wants to lend their signature. Poor guy. The video is quite disturbing but not surprising. Arhons in action.
