Two police officers are being accused of hitting Robert Jackson‘s car and then arresting him to cover it up. Surveillance footage shows police cars driving the wrong way down a street and sideswiping the SUV. Officers then exited their vehicles and appeared to search for cameras before arresting Jackson for destruction of city property. . . .
The charges were eventually dropped against Jackson but he had to spend the night in a “filthy, overpopulated, rat- and rodent-infested cell,” his suit says. “The officer who arrested me said if I took care of the expense on my vehicle, they would take care of their vehicle and I wouldn’t have gotten arrested,” Jackson remembered. “He knew he was wrong.” The lawsuit is seeking unspecified monetary damages.

Felony assault with a firearm, battery, and kidnapping.
Amazing how LEO's think they are above the law-- because they are-- notice there are no criminal charges. You have to file a civil case.

In addition to the abuse of power, what about the incompetence they showed in hitting the guy’s car?

It's bad enough they threw him in jail. It's unconscionable that they threw him in a cell filled with democrats. That's just too much.

No need for google glass which is a liberal obama ass kissing outfit. I have a pen in my car which not only records video but record the conversation, plus a couple of spy cameras too.
