He was not Arrested, he was the victim of a FELONY KIDNAPPING. The Gestapo Agent belongs in PRISON FOR LIFE.

A candidate for Governor could get lots of support by campaigning on reigning in the jack booted thuggery.

That promotion is the nail in the coffin. The KSP are liable for this corrupt cop’s conduct, and I would give the victim a huge amount in punitive damages. I’d also like to see the cop personally pay for his abuse of power. I am disgusted by most civil lawsuits, but this one has merit.

THIS is why white, middle-class support for Ferguson cops was so tepid:

Cop behavior can often be as oppressive as The Jungle, even if there are fewer explitives.

“Instead of sanctioning Lieutenant Burnett for his conduct, Kentucky State Police promoted him to captain in 2012 and put him in command of all troopers in Bell, Harlan and Knox counties last year.”

And yet they assure us that abusive cops are just rogue officers acting on their own.

If I were writing this story, I would want to dig a little and figure out why this cop is harassing this guy. The cop obviously has it in for him, but why?

I think it was kind of funny that he thought the windows were tinted...only because he was wearing sunglasses. Not very bright, that one.

Gee, Rush was saying just today that there are no bad cops. Maybe not, if you’re a zillionaire.

consider yourself lucky if you’ve never been threatened to be taken to jail by a thug state trooper.

Here's a picture of the cop, Lieutenant Phillip Burnett (I guess he's a captain now what with his promotion and all).
