I have seen with my own eyes deputies lying in paperwork after brutalizing a friend.
They basically took a ‘drunk in public’ offence and beat the h*ll out of a little drunk guy(5’6”, 130Lbs) and then claimed ‘assault on an officer’ and DUI when that person was 400 yards from his vehicle.
He had to have his nose and ear sewed up and spent 10 days in jail. Now he has a record.
The police have a tough job to do *but* ‘I’ put them in the ‘unleashed pit bull category.
Remember: “There is no situation so bad it cannot be made worse by the presence of a policeman”.
As I said clearly. Judges need to address this in individual cases. If they don’t, they are part of the problem.
Sorry, but when a federal judge (which may be the kind that keeps striking down Trump’s immigration restrictions, or overturning the will of the public on many issues) starts looking into things like this, they can be very destructive.
I’m not here to defend things officers have done that were wrong. What I am here to defend against is a federal judge inflicting a death kill on law enforcement.
