Lawsuit: Cops Hit Man’s Car, Check To Make Sure They Aren’t On Camera, Arrest Him To Cover It Up

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.

Reckless driving
Driving the wrong way down a one way street
Official Oppression
Unlawful Detention
Unlawful Arrest

Probably others if you really broke it down

This incident took place in New York City. That place is filled with people who have begged their own government to impose a police state for their own protection. It should come as no surprise that it comes down to this.

[I want the USA back]

There should be jail time for this.

LOL! (Yes, I actually did). Rats on both sides of the bars, apparently.

[Balding_Eagle]

I pray the cops went home safe and sound that evening.

Nothing else matters.

Nothing.

Nah, you have to have lawyers. After all, who else can tell you that the the evidence of your own lying eyes is just wrong, Wrong, WRONG.

Maybe he watched them drive off, I can’t ask him since he died in the 90’s.

Obama’s future “Brown Shirts”?

At least he avoided California...

I.A. needs to be in the cell next door since they cleared them.

Yes there is a very distinct difference between a rat and a rodent.

A rodent is a mouse and his cousins in the animal kingdom.

A rat is a polite term for a jack booted thug.

Both can be very destructive in our society.

"A rat is a polite term for a jack booted thug."

It serves as a descriptive term for a once honorable (perhaps) but now vile and vicious political party.

[Carriage Hill]

Heh, I’ve been watching ‘JR’ clips for the past 30mins, and that looks like a good movie. Not a TC fan, either, but plenty of action.

[Secret Agent Man]

arrange to have a special “friend” come by and visit those two officers sometime.

[LouAvul]

Ok. More crooked pigs. Where’s the news?

“Who needs lawyers?”

Lawyers do.
