A police state is a happy state...

has anything happened to the officer and the police involved?
The tax payers are complicit if they indirectly hired and paid these thugs. Hit them in the pocket book until they scream for this stuff to stop.
Good thing he did not have a dog with him...
If the truck driver were a protected minority with the proper melanin content, cities would be burning by now...
Back in the day a girl who lived down the road from me and who would sleep with anything would have cops comimg and going all hours and they would let her brothers tear down the road at high speed.
I happened to be driving a car that I had just had an accident in 2 months before, it had flipped over. It wouldn’t go over 35 without shaking furiously. I had taken my son to the library and he got sick so I was taking him home. I was going the speed limit and stopped at a stop sign behind an officer. I came to my stop and proceeded and he immediately did a U-turn and stopped me. I asked him why he stopped me and he got snotty saying I was going 75 in a 20. I told him I was not and the car couldn’t go 75 if I begged it to. He pulled out his ticket book, took my registration and license and wrote me a ticket. I told him my son was ill and just give me the ticket so I can go. He said I could go when he said so.
He went to his car and was checking when I got a call from a friend who had a scanner. He heard the officer call it in and told me the cop had called me a bi*ch. When the cop came back to my car and told me to sign the ticket I said I was going to be a bi*ch and not sign. He got a strange look on his face and then he had an epiphany. I asked him how he liked the prostitute down the road from me and I said I had seen him many times and that I did not appreciate being called a bi*ch. I also told him he can shove the ticket where the sun don’t shine. He handed me the ticket. Before he walked away my son put his head out the window and threw-up nailing the cops pantleg. I looked at him and said “told you he was sick”. I’m surprised I wasn’t shot!
I went to court and he never showed up. The judge heard my side and asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to go home and he told me to have a nice day. :)
The cops don’t care about fines as they don’t pay them themselves. The law should be that any brutality case settlement should be paid out of the offending officers pocket. THAT would bring an end to this stuff. Until then the cops just laugh at us.
Is that worthy of commendation—whether or not they beat an innocent man within an inch of his life during the incident?

Kinda sad when two cops can’t control a much smaller guy without this level of force.
They probably could but my guess is they didnt even try.
Obey or we’ll break your arm. Heck he’s lucky they didnt shoot him.
Sieg HEIL!!!!
Looks like the bastard is still at work, getting paid by taxpayer dollars, protected by a court appointed attorney paid by tax payer dollars, enjoying future benefits paid for with tax payer dollars while he is free to beat up or kill more taxpayers.
What is more frightening than this beast Murril, is his NAZI Gestapo Boss protecting and justifying his action.
The ENTIRE UNIT of cops operating out of that patrol headquarters should be fired.
This guy is old enough to have remembered living in the Soviet Union. I wonder how feels now that he realizes the Soviet Union is here?
And people wonder why some of us hate cops?
Yep, just be a good little peasant and you will be fine. Until they invent a reason to come break down your doors.
None of them got off scot free, and all of them would probably handle the same situation differently, knowing what they do now.
Sometimes it just isn't worth the brief momentary gratification if the result is a lifetime of misery. Every American citizen has a God-given right to show the authorities that they stand to gain nothing by misbehaving. Be sure to disincentivise bad police behavior, and eventually they'll stop once it's no longer fun to play that game.
You not only can fight City Hall, you are obligated to do so if you're an American. The truth is, you can kick the wheezing snot out of City Hall, as long as you do it one now-retired overweight swine at a time.
LMFWSCAO!!!
:^)
But the CHP’s internal investigation cleared the cop. Isn’t that enough? /sarc
Was there a dash cam video or was it conveniently out of order?
A police state is a happy state...
“If you just do what they say, when they say, they won’t beat you. “
What if you’re Russian like this man, and don’t know English????/s;)
IIRC the state is exempt from law suits but the cops ar not. If you name the cop the state can refuse to idemnify them if they were acting in an extreme manner or outside the scope of their duties.
IMO these were acting inside the scope of their duties and the department will cover any award.
I believe punitive damages cannot be paid by the state.
The state can also discipline/fire the officers regardless of what happens in court.
The two should be on administrative leave while undergoing an internal affairs investigation. They are cearly a danger to the public.
My investigation experience ended in 98 when I retired.
Perhaps someone more recent could comment on Cal cases.
