Now... this is when you criticize the police.
The officers involved, their immediate supervisor, the Police Chief, the judge that granted the warrant, the physicians that carried out the illegal activity, and the administration of the medical facility.
I wouldn’t want to be any of these entities. Every single one of them should have put an end to this immediately.
Just because two officers don’t have a lick of sense, it’s no cause for all of these people to join in lock step.
Good luck Mr. Eckert. What you took may wind up saving all the rest of us a similar outcome.
This whole thing started when the plaintif asked “Am I being detained”. So Officer friendly decided he needed an attitude adjustment.
Possibly, but given the nature of the police and judicial systems I have a feeling that only the taxpayers and the doctors are going to pay for this. The city will pay up big but the officers will at best be taken of the street for a week or two (with pay) and the superiors might get a stern talking to from the cheif. The judge will see no repercussions at all. The only way Eckert will see real justice is if he uses his upcoming millions to destroy the lives of these "public servants."
When the warrant is granted upon probable cause, what was that cause? Clenching buttocks? That’s it? How could the warrant have even been granted in the first place? Is there more to the story?
If I was Mr. Eckert, every one of those people would be BEGGING for me to file a lawsuit for $500 million instead of taking my preferred course of action.
