Madison, AL– An online fundraiser for Madison police officer Eric Parker, who is facing charges of third-degree assault after brutally attacking 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel, who does not speak English, has raised over $3,000 in only three days. The campaign- that has currently been shared nearly 600 times on Facebook, has a goal of $10,000 and 28 days left to reach it.
Sureshbhai Patel is an Indian citizen who had come to the United States to help his son and his wife with their new baby as his son went back to school for his master’s degree. The innocent grandfather was taking a morning walk on February 6, when a bigoted neighbor called the police. The neighbor described the gentleman as, “a skinny black guy, he’s got a toboggan on, he’s really skinny.”
When police arrived to unjustly harass him, he could not understand their commands or what the situation was. This resulted in the barbaric Officer Parker throwing him face first into the ground while holding his hands behind his back.
Patel was left temporarily paralyzed and hospitalized with fused vertebrae, all because he could not understand what the officers were saying to him. The man had simply been out for a walk and had committed absolutely no crime to warrant being approached, let alone assaulted.
The department has publicly apologized to the family and arrested the officer. He was freed the same day on a $1,000 bond.
Who in their right mind can watch the dashcam video of this incident, and somehow think that officer Parker is the victim? Are people so blinded by the blue line that they cannot see a criminal act when it is explicitly captured on video and shown to them?
Patel remains hospitalized and partially paralyzed, but is showing signs of improvement. He is currently in the process of being transferred to a rehabilitation center.
“His grip strength is improving, though he can’t yet handle small objects (like a spoon). His legs are improving, too, particularly his right leg. The doctors attribute the improvement to Mr. Patel’s hard work and motivation.” Hank Sherrod, the family lawyer, has stated.
Patel is expected to incur over $250,000 in medical bills and does not have any form of health insurance. Thankfully, humanity is winning out, and a fundraiser launched for Patel has already raised over $167,000 from nearly 4,000 people in only four days. Patel’s lawyer has issued a statement to the Hindu American Foundation verifying that all proceeds from the Go Fund Me will be used solely for medical expenses and related issues and not for any legal fees.
The fundraiser has received donations and well wishes from donors around the world, with many American’s expressing their shame and embarrassment that this could happen to a guest here.
“The treatment received is without excuse. So sorry for your bad experience in America. As you can see, we have a problem with ‘out of control’ police. Maybe, just maybe, this will open some eyes to that problem. Hoping you have a complete recovery.” one donor named Howard Mciay wrote.
“I am shocked by this poor example of true American hospitality. We (the masses) are caring, kind, loving human beings who are all praying for you and your family.” another donor named Jonathan Hart wrote.

Let the morons donate to the rogue cop. All the more money the family of the poor guy will get in a lawsuit!
I am beyond appalled by what I saw in that video! These gestapo bastards had no damned f***ing right to stop, question, and most importantly ASSAULT than man! When are we going to stop tolerating this bullshit?!? I’m honestly more concerned about being harmed by “police officers” than I am of any “terrorists”.
Why hasent the cop stepped up to pay this mans medical needs ?
Who gives a crap about the cops go fund me site?
Ridiculous that he was let out on 1,000$ bond , sick F’ers
I can’t wait for the reset to come , our rule of law is going to clean house
Nope, there’s nothing wrong with “cop mentality”. They maim or kill an innocent bystander and, rather than offer assistance to the victim, they throw money at the perpetrator. 6 months paid vacation and a slap on the wrist later, back to business as usual.
help please…. what is a “toboggan?”
Much of the money will come from his fellow officers and different police departments. They do stick together. Most unions do send money on request to other unions when they ask for help. Or a member. So follow the money and it will in most go back to there own helping there own.
What is bad about this case for the American police is it is a international incedent. They needed to inform India of this and what the police in America pulled on one of there citizens. I am sure there is some small protest. On this one the cop is far more trouble than if he had just beat a American 2 year old for his fun for the day time.
They are so untrained they do not even know basic first aid. And not to move there victom as that causes more damage. Only the American police. No skills at all needed to be a American cop at all! Just the standard well my mentor got me this job as a cop. And I passed the oral exam but faild all the rest cop.
