"In this case the police lied and the DA was a snake. It's something to be expected. Mind your manners and if you have have a case that proves you are innocent, justice should prevail."
Pardon me for saying, that is just moronic. It should not be "expected" that the police will lie under oath. You are extremely lucky that you had a witness, otherwise you could have been wrongly convicted.
It really doesn't bother me that the officer "mistakenly" testified against me. In general I cut the police a lot of slack....enforcing stupid laws, getting involved with domestic disputes, etc..In general cops are stand up people.
Honestly, If I were cop in NY I would have loved to pummel some of the stupid liberals! So call me sympathetic.
