Wait -- this story CAN'T be true. Everyone knows this sort of thing only happens to blacks. This can't happen to white people. White privilege.

He was told that he does not have a case to sue the county for wrongdoing.

... Says no lawyer ever.

There should be a way to have the county reimburse the legal fees.

Or just have all court costs reimbursed and the lawyers write it off as pro bono work.

He has no case. This only happens to black people.

“But McCay, who described himself as a “blue collar, 9-to-5” worker, is now in debt thanks to eight months of legal fees. He was told that he does not have a case to sue the county for wrongdoing.”

Now that is just wrong right there! This guy needs to get appearances on any TV news channel he can get on in order to tell his story. Let the public decide on the above.

#1: " Everyone knows this sort of thing only happens to blacks. This can't happen to white people."

Well, not exactly.

The difference is that when it happens to blacks, there is a multimillion dollar eight-figure payout, and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are involved, and legions of snowflakes at Evergreen, Goddard, and Oberlin will "march" and have "sit-ins" and demand "Justice for McCay!". "McCay's Life Matters!". "McCay the Gentle Giant!".

Why are there so many moron cops? Not to mention just out and out asshole cops... Too bad. Can’t stand these terrible cops anymore. Maybe we need to bust their stupid union and kick out all the lousy and criminal ones.

Then the police wonder why some people just snap. That whole unit would have to enter witness protection if this happened to some people I’ve known in my life.

I went for a driver’s license a few years back in another State. A big ol’ black lady (race is part of the story) leans back in her chair and asks me, a wonder bread white guy, “Have you ever been black? Now, take your time and think about it.”

It turns out, a black guy with my exact name, born 2 days after me, and with 1 digit difference in our social security numbers, was wanted for murder.

So the lazy cops, found an even lazier Judge to sign the arrest warrant? You would think this Judge would personally stand up for his mistake and personally pay the innocent mans legal fees. The problem here is moronic Judges who rubber stamp every thing put in front of them. There should be public accountability for every warrant requested. This should include the name of the cop requesting the warrant. This is all part of the process of a public trial, where one has the right to face ones accusers. If the cop doesn’t have the confidence to be held publicly accountable, then perhaps he should not expect the public to fund his paycheck. The Judge and the cop should be eager to show the public their actions.

In too many jurisdictions, civil service selection and hiring procedures favor affirmative action for protected classes, and psych evals in the hiring process tend to select against independent thinkers in favor of “follows orders”...
