"Two Manteca police officers used reasonable force when they threw a handcuffed Ripon man onto his bed, unholstered his gun and threatened to kill him, an expert in police practices told a grand jury Tuesday."

Huh? This and the claptrap which follows it read like pure coverup that it is. Who calls a witness like this to a "public" grand jury unless he is trying to make excuses to the public for not prosecuting the officers?

Manteca Officers Steve Harris and Sam Gallego . . . burst into a Ripon residence without a warrant, handcuffed resident James Walton and, after he made a sarcastic comment, threw him on his bed and threatened: "We could kill you right here."
