If you’re guilty, you need a lawyer.
If you’re innocent, you REALLY need a lawyer.
That’s just the way it is.
Fontana should leave the mind-bending to Wayne.
Excellent point. The cops didn’t pay, the city didn’t pay, it’s the innocent taxpayers of Fontana who pay. Gotta blame somebody for somebody else’s wrong-doings (think: “reparations”)
Absolutely, these judgments need to come out of the police pension fund.
Partially disagree. First source needs to be the actual, individual miscreant cops. They need to pay personally. Bankrupt the bastards. Then hit the pension fund ... cops don't get to be this bad without other cops knowing about it and covering it up.
Qualified immunity needs to be abolished except in very, very limited circumstances.
Personally, I think those cops deserve to be beaten to death. They are a danger to every citizen around them as long as they have any "authority" whatsoever..
Many of us are already way past that point. The only purpose I see in police these days is to protect their political masters and each other. They aren't even useful to citizens by filling out reports.
... and unfortunately it is the taxpayer’s money that covers the aggressive tactics used while no consequences are visited upon the detectives. Loss of job, loss of pension, something significant financially, etc ... something.
A the man once said “I don’t expect people to not make mistakes but I do expect those people to answer for them.”
Been there... Sometimes the VICTIM of law enforcement is right. We cannot put up firewalls to this absolute reality.
My story... Was once arrested for burglary WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE. The officer didn’t like me because I had long hair, made me guilty of whatever he wanted to charge me with I guess. And they tried a forced confession. I played along and let them for right up to 72 hours without confessing.
I was given a court date during arraignment in front of the judge. When it came to my turn at the “accused and deemed guilty” box I handed proof to the bailiff that I bought items on my credit card in a town 200 miles away two days in a row during when the crime happened.
The judge fined me for not falling victim to the false confession...
The monetary value of the items burglarized was much less than what I paid in gas to go out of town and back...
But later The want to be low IQ “detective” rookie who arrested me told me “I know you did the crime, drove out of town and used your credit card to hide it and came back”
What a total idiot.
The police are their own worst enemies. Every time they abuse a citizen, they give credibility to the likes of Trayvon Martin and George Floyd.
Comments?
Why didn’t he ‘lawyer up’?
All four of these vermin are monsters. That they are not behind bars for at least the next twenty years is itself a travesty of justice.
“The police are their own worst enemies. Every time they abuse a citizen, they give credibility to the likes of Trayvon Martin and George Floyd.”
That is a fact... And it is because of the “IQ caps” for hire on. A Sargent or Supervisor doesn’t want any competition from someone who might actually be more intelligent than him. Same with Chief and Mayor... so the IQ cap is a real thing. They don’t hire pilots from the Airforce or Navy who have some intelligence, They hire gunloaders, truck drivers, and fire fighters from the service...
Fact... Met a BUNCH of them and they are the majority... Intelligent MOS hires are rare and in between.
Most locals are like this. Very low IQ and terrible at being detectives. Just get a lawyer and clam up. Shame as they ruin it for the few good ones.
They still can.
There’s a couple of documentaries on Netflix that show just how investigators mentally beat innocent people down to the point they confess to something they didn’t do or even have knowledge of.
Never give a voluntary statement, especially if innocent. Never have a voluntary interview or meeting. If arrested, immediately invoke your 5th Amendment right to shut up and get a lawyer.
I have decided that from now on if I am confronted or detained I am going to read them THEIR Miranda rights before it goes any further. Maybe they will think twice about using their badge as a get out of jail free card for being absolute liars during their “investigation”.
Lying is their job and what they are paid to do best. All in the name of “law and order” of course. Time to put them on the hook for “what they say can and will be used against them in a court of law”.
The "innocent taxpayers of Fontana" are perfectly ok with these JBT's being on their payroll.
How do I know that? This part of the article.
Three of the involved officers remain employed with the department. One other officer has retired.
So the dear sweet innocent taxpayers are perfectly fine with keeping really terrible humans as their representatives of the "law".

You are responsible for the actions of your employees. Think: reality.
