Yeah, right, don’t hold your breath. Bob never met a government employee he didn’t trust or a law he thought was Constitutionally null and void.
So, with all of that evidence, was Mrs. Scott able to sue? What was the outcome in this case?
Why? No one on FR would bat an eye at the call for a garden variety criminal who killed someone to be executed or, failing a death sentence, to opine that it might be best if they died in prison, and this is a far more egregious offense. So what's your problem?
Pretty cold comfort for a murdered husband if you ask me.

It is things like this that give cops a bad name.
Which is quite alarming. We don't need a corrupt police state. People will trust the police more if they admit to the problems within their ranks and deal harshly with it.
As long as they defend this, they lose credibility.
It is, but enough losses and the municipalities will decide this is not a money making endeavor, or their insurers will help them figure it out. What pisses me off about when the government steps on the serfs bad enough that they are actually, finally, found civilly liable is that it's those very serfs that have to pick up the bill! How sweet a deal is that?
The cops were in the wrong.
Wow. Thanks, RP.
They shot a blast grenade into the room he was in, broke in, saw his hand move in his sleep and machine gunned (yes, SQUAT Teams have M-16's) him to death, “for his own safety.”
Nah, nothing wrong there.
Nothing wrong at all...
There may be hope for you yet Bobby. ;-)
A newb authoritarian squealing about archy!

(((((crickets)))))
I'd be ashamed too.
I've been very busy lately and haven't had the time to closely follow the news. I 'm aware you want my attention. I gather the media are now reporting a different story, but I'm not sure how complete it is. It could still unfold in unpredictable ways as liars are involved. My original response was to the story as reported. What I don't get is how annal retentive in crying foul cops or protesting the war on drugs that you take the time to look me up months later to say, "see I told you so."
I going to get some sleep now. Good night.
Ok, splain this (((((crickets))))) since it’s the only thing that generated a response from loneranger. Although a pathetic one.
(not pinging loneranger since LR doesn’t want to be bothered with responding to me.)
Seems the war on drugs has lost it's way. This is just unbelievable law enforcement corruption
What's surprising about that? They knew they screwed to pooch and were focused on saving their asses, not that poor woman.
I'm not one to automatically bash cops, but I don't put them on a pedestal either. There are good, bad, and mostly in between in any profession (albeit these young cops who all pumped up, shave their heads and act like Robo-officer should be fired on the spot -- or at least tested for steroids and then fired.)
And always remember the under the best of circumstances, Bill of Rights is only in effect when you are in court with a lawyer at you side. You have no rights that are bound to be respected on the street.

Good point.
The thing is...he'll be back in full force the next time this happens
