One last thought.
I have mentioned this elsewhere.
Obviously there are going to be a raftful of civil suits filed against the police and municipalities.
Equally obviously some of these suits will be successful.
It seems unfair that the victims of the police misconduct, the citizens of Fergusan and St. louis Cty, should have to pay for the dishonor of the police who have been oppressing those same citizens.
It also seems unfair that the police can create this much choas through their misconduct have others pay to clean up after them.
As a suggestion on how the police can be held responsible is that any legal payments, civil suits or settlements at all are paid out of the Police pension fund. This would mean a drop in the benefits for the police whish is only fair since they have shown that they have not legitimately earned their salaries, much less their pensions.
Perhaps if the police have to start contemplating eating catfood in retirement as a result of their misconduct and maintaining a blue wall against justice a few might just decide that their self interest is involed with following the law and actually enforceing it even when it against one of their own.
Imagine, if you will, the first responding officers to the scene of Michael Browns murder if they knew failure to do their job would have a direct effect upon the state of their pension fund?
Do you think they may have disarmed and arrested the officer on the spot? Or that the Incident Report would be blank?
Maybe its time that the police are required to pay for their own incompetence rather being able to avoid all responsibility or repercussions.
I have never heard of a REDACTED police report. In what country is that legal, because Iâm pretty sure it isnât this one.
Don Lemon is saying that the report of a fractured eye socket was false.
The media did interview the store owner. Just not the national media. They didnât call the police or plan to press charges.
To me this means that the evidence does NOT support the
narrative of Brownâs coconspirator. In other words, Brown did
attack the policeman in the squad car, did try to grab the gun,
did run away, and was shot frontally after he turned around
and charged the policeman when told to freeze. They are
afraid for the truth to come out because the natives will riot again.
Not a peep from anti-government conservatives.
NOTE TO SELF: When the real revolution comes, donât count on conservatives.
What? Why? How?
There is a ârumorâ floating around that Wilson didnât write a report, supposedly because he invoked his 5th amendment rights against self incrimination. Itâs impossible to know if that is true, but given what weâve seen thus far I wouldnât rule it out.
SoâŚif he didnât write a report, Iâd fire him right out since that should be a clear violation of police procedures, assuming that the Ferguson police department actually has written procedures. Normally the only excuse for doing that would be if the officer is actually incapable of writing itâŚi.e. injured and in the hospital, or maybe dead. Regardless, the other officers who responded should have written âsupplemental reportsâ detailing what they observed upon arrival and the steps they took, including any statements made by witnesses AND other officers. Those should be available regardless of what Wilson did or didnât write. Where are they?
It is becoming more and more clear that the Ferguson circle-the-wagons defense isnât going to work. It is, however, interesting to note one thing on these rather useless pieces of paper. The report identifies the crime as homicide. That is not the usual term for an officer-involved shooting that results in death. Maybe theyâre admitting that the know it wasnât a righteous shoot. If the DA doesnât file any charges this is really going to blow upâŚfar worse than Zimmerman, and likely worse than whatâs happened so far in Ferguson.
BTW, for the record I was in law enforcement and actually do know about such things firsthand.
And now the racist are raising money for this murdering cop.
Ferguson does NOT have police force, what it has is a bunch of yahoo licensed to kill skinheads.
Part of preparation so the cop can be acquitted.
give officers smart gun technology??? you really wanna get the NRAholes all hot and bothered for using common dammed sence
