When is the guy getting sued for deprivation of rights under color of law?

I took 30 seconds to locate another article that contained snippets of the official police report and not just the DEFENSE LAWYER’s version. According to the police report, the police vehicle was “marked” and he activated his blue “lights.” Hmm, that would suggest to anyone but this dope that he was a police officer. The report also indicates that she refused to exit the vehicle after being told the car would be TOWED—she then took off from the scene after being told not to leave. Finally, the video clearly shows that the officer’s shirt had “POLICE” stamped on it in huge type. This woman is either an abject dope or an abject liar.
As I have said before, if you just cooperate with LE—and be super nice with them—you will often get no ticket, no tow, and 100% of the time no arrest.
Finally, the prosecutor likely dropped the charges b/c the officer went a little overboard in making the arrest. It happens—especially to dopes who drive away from cops.
None of your lengthy response lessens the fact of your making this straw man argument: “So your point, I guess, is that every American is free to drive away from a police stop because of the one in 10 million chance the cop is an impersonator?”
