I always am delighted when courts rule correctly and recognize with cops are acting unlawfully. Even when investigating a crime, cops have to adhere to the Constitution and recognize the rights of the people.
Woods is suing the city of Cheyenne, the Cheyenne Police Department and the three arresting officers in federal court.He is accusing all the civil defendants of negligence for the actions surrounding and leading to his arrest. He also is accusing them of retaliating against him, alleging that the officers entered his home, fought and arrested him because he asked them what they were doing at his house.
I'm surprised he's not suing for civil rights violations. The defendants should also be prosecuted for unlawful entry, assault, battery, and kidnapping.
Wow, both extremes. In this case the coppers entered and tried to bully everyone in sight. In Uvalde many coppers were outright cowards and ran off.
Coppers can be bad, really bad. This is why you need to arm yourself since you cannot count on them to protect your life.
Its rare. Needs to be less rare.
And it only takes years and thousands in legal fees to reach that verdict.
I've recently seen a lot of videos like this recently. The main problem seems to be that once the cops think someone is guilty, they want to make an arrest, no matter if there is a complete lack of evidence, and they care little about the law at that point.
In this ruling, the Wyoming SCOTUS seems to be warning Wyoming law enforcement that if they act unlawfully, they may be resisted.
It may be I just mis-read the article but did they go to his home the night he was acquitted on the domestic violence charge? If so, why?
The dude’s girlfriend said he grabbed her neck. And his wife answered the door when the cops came.
SMH.
