Police unions have done to policing what teachers' unions did to teaching. The thugs with badges know they're untouchable. The system is rotten, top to bottom.

You are so right, and the number of incidents like this seem to be rising.

In the sixties this was very common.

In a city like Houston a man would be taken out of the holding cell for “questioning” and come back in god-awful shape, sometimes unconscious.

The beatings were even done in front of female office personnel.

Well, at least he didn’t drag her out into a field and put 2 rounds of 12 gauge into her like the cop in an earlier post today did to a ferocious, 6 pound, de-clawed, sick, 18 year old housecat. But hey, never judge a thug until you walk a mile in his jackboots.

All that beating and no taser? What’s wrong with this pig? He should know better than to get his hands dirty while handling the chattel.

Protect. Serve. Beat Down. Electrify.

The New Amerika.

Unbelievable!

Shreveport could sue Willis for the $400K he cost them. The union couldn’t do anything about that.

>>>The thugs with badges know they’re untouchable.

No, didn’t you read your own story? “This apparently is a violation of Louisiana’s “Police Officer’s Bill of Rights,” a set of guidelines every department must follow”.” The investigation was tainted by failure to follow procedure.

I’ve been here before. As the most junior lawyer in my circuit I was once stuck with the task of appointment as president of our county Deputy Sheriff’s Civil Service Board.

During my term the sheriff fired for cause one particular deputy, who as a matter of course appealed this decision to our review. The sheriff so badly bungled his case justifying the termination we had to reinstate the deputy, who we knew darn well was unfit to serve. But had we not done so, the Circuit Court would have heard the case and would have followed the law and reinstated. Then come after us as to why we didn’t follow the law and clear this matter before it needlessly took court time.

Soon after the sheriff again found cause to fire this deputy, and again he appealed the firing, and again the sheriff’s case was so incompetently prepared and presented we again had no option but to reinstate. The sheriff and the department were trying to do the right thing, but were generally clueless. Our hands were tied.

This sounds like a similar situation, so don’t go off on unions this once.

More info here:

Willis' back pay would exceed $50,000

Aug 20, 2009 11:15 AM  

The city of Shreveport is preparing to appeal the police civil service board's decision to reinstate Wiley Willis, the former police officer who was with Angie Garbarino the night she was injured while in police custody.  

Willis' reinstatement would be with back pay to his firing in February 2008. Exact figures have not been calculated, but police officials have estimated it will be more than $50,000.

  A letter of notice to the Municipal Police and Fire Civil Service Board would be a prelude to an appeal to Caddo District Court asking a judge there to overturn the reinstatement by the panel of civilians, police officers and firefighters.

(Officer) Willis walked over and turned off the video camera. When the camera returns back on, Garbarino was lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood...Willis’ attorney stated that she tripped and fell while the camera was off.

What gets me is there are still many on this forum that automatically side with “the officer”,without first hearing the story out.Just like any public servant,they work for us,but they tend to be given a tad bit more authority then some guy mowing the grass in your local park.Perhaps they need to be held to somewhat higher standards.(sarcasm off)

Good for Garabino...

Wiley should ask his parents why they left the extra "L" out of his name.

Cop was a typical inbred cousin!
