Waiting for the law enforcement apologists to show up and tell us there must be more to this story and that we don’t have all the facts that allow us to pass judgment.
In Wichita Falls, TX we recently had a cop going (according to DPS investigation) at least 80 mph in a 45 mph zone.
He broadsided and killed two teenage girls. One was 8 months pregnant.
The DA was elected in large part because of the local police support.
He was evidently taking two prescription drugs at the time of the crash.
Depending on blood results he may be charged with up to three counts of intoxication manslaughter.
People around here are pissed at this cop.
Also, in a small town around here (I’m not going to mention the name), local cops have been routinely arresting people (that they don’t like of course) for refusing to consent to a search. The charge? Resisting search/arrest.
They are going to get sued when it happens to one of my clients.
