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."

These police should have gone to jail.

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.

“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.

Don’t talk to the police.

If you’re guilty, you need a lawyer.

If you’re innocent, you REALLY need a lawyer.

That’s just the way it is.

Perez agreed to the settlement rather than take the case to trial out of concern that a jury award could be overturned on appeal on grounds of qualified immunity for police.

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..

... 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...

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.

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.

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”.

Fontana pays nearly $900,000 for ‘psychological torture’ inflicted by police to get false confession

Okay, the taxpayers were punished. Did any of the cops get punished?
