Vancouver Police beat down DJ Qualls
"Road Trip" star DJ Qualls posted dozens of messages to his Twitter page early this morning, detailing what he says was an unwarranted beat down he took from a Vancouver police officer.
Qualls says he witness a fight in the street and tried to ID one of the attackers to a police officer, but that officer immediately turned on him and threatened to arrest him. He claims the officer tackled him to the ground, busted his face, handcuffed him and "Taunted me for 1/2hr b4 the ambulance came. I was held, no calls, no attorney. AND I had to pay an $800 ER bill. Free healthcare, Canada?"

You mean DJ Qualls: professional anarchist and part time rioter?

First of all, what?
Second of all, the cop probably paid $10 bucks to see the New guy.

He deserved it simply for being DJ Qualls.

Is this DJ a Canucks fan? If so, I approve of the officer's actions.

Vancouver Police probably just wanted to make him look better - I don't think a beating could make this dude look any worse.

The back-lash on Twitter, from Canadians, has been hilarious. I guess he's never heard of travel insurance, and that our health care system covers CANADIANS.
I look forward to seeing how this turns out.
So far today a lot of his tweets are consisting of "apologizing" and stuff to Canadians.
Apparently there is a video of the "beating." Probably being blown way out of proportion, as usual.

I am willing to bet there is more to this story. B-list celebrities tend to be the ones who always pull the "don't you know who I am?" card. Not that the police don't sometimes abuse their power, but I'm sure there are 2 sides to this one.
And what does he think? We pay health care for Americans here too?

Oh sure, now the Vancouver police decide to beat people down indiscriminately.

If he was rioting the cops probably would have waited atleast 3 months before taking any action against him.
