Finally, after curling up with the dog on the floor, Perez broke down and confessed. He said he had stabbed his father multiple times with a pair of scissors during an altercation in which his father hit Perez over the head with a beer bottle.

...

Perez’s nightmare ended shortly after police got a phone call from his sister, who said their father was alive and well. He had actually walked to the train station in Fontana and rode the line to Los Angeles County to visit a relative and then took a bus to visit a female friend, Steering said. Perez Sr. later went to the airport to await a flight to Oakland to visit his daughter.

"Oops. My bad."

This sounds like a plot to a TV movie, not something that actually happened.

Gestapo, which is what happens when police and prosecutors think their jobs are not about justice, just about making a claim with which the “prosecutors” job (again) is not justice, but just a “conviction”. Much like we’ve seen against DJTrump these last few years.

On the topic of the FBI —
At one point, people were saying, “There are a few bad ones, but most of them are good.”
But I think at this point, thinking people just see the FBI as 100% bad. Too bad if there might be 1 or 2 good ones, but they all need to go.

On the topic of local police —
I think we are currently at the point of saying, “There are a few bad ones, but most of them are good.”
But that viewpoint is going to change.

If the “good” ones know what the “bad” are doing, yet do nothing to curtail it, are they still “good”?

“I believed at the time if we told him that we had located the body,

The police, and all levels, are allowed and encouraged to lie. NOTHING a police officer says can be believed. Even under oath, on the witness stand.

If police want to be trusted and respected again, police must CLEAN UP THEIR OWN ACT.

—”low IQ thugs”

And as the defund the police nuts move in, no one wants to be a copper.
To maintain a police presence, recruit standards are lowered.

More retirements, more transfers to better neighborhoods...
Recruit standards are lowered again...

As big cities swirl the drain.

How do you confess to a crime in detail that never happened?

“I stabbed him to death with a pair of scissors.”
“Ooops...he is alive”
“OK who did I stab?”

This sounds like one of the women who accused Trump of rape. “If you want to know what happened in detail, watch this CSI episode”

These are the smarter ones that made it to Detective. In Homicide, no less.

Have you ever been tortured?

Have you ever been “interrogated” at all?

Some people “break” more easily than others.

Amen!

“I invoke my rights under the Fifth Amendment; I respectfully decline to answer any questions. I wish to speak to my lawyer.” Then STFU. Easy to say; not as easy to do. Vital, however. It should put a stop to the nonsense.

Reporting a missing relative is now grounds to believe in foul play, apparently according to this “judge”. [assuming there are no other important facts than what was reported]

Why do blacks HATE the police I wonder.

Inn9cent people should crap their pants when the police ask a question. And say nothing ever.

They did settle for $900,000 of the taxpayers money.

Abusive cops need to pay out of their own pockets.
