(6,818 posts)He's 300 lbs, a big, 50 yr old guy. They shout and cuff and accuse and throw him in the back seat (wrists scraped up pretty bad). Simple case of falsely detaining9about 30 min)without probable cause. They were after a dealer they lost sight of 2 miles away in, what they said, was a similar auto. He was getting off work as restaurant manager, driving home. Ticketed him for resisting arrest but didn't arrest him? were they stupid or not? Judge threw it out after asking a few pointed questions which made the cops look like lying fools. Those LOE's got clean away with it. No follow up, no reprimand, no warning. Resisting arrest with no arrest?
Judges are the culprits. It was wrong, a pure case of stupidity with authority and a weapon on the public streets. Those stupid bastards are still out there, on the force, harassing whoever they want, whenever they want because at 3:00 am they have no body watching over their shoulders. That's because most people think that at 3:00 am the only people out are criminals or cops. Yes, they were both over 6' but my stepson was 6-2, so they roughed him up to even the playing field.
The judge, fully knowledgeable that they were essentially armed morons, joy riding LEO's on a Thursday morning, LET THEM SLIDE! Until judges, like this lady, look themselves in their mirrors, in their ivory towers and see how they are the frightened ones, afraid of the monsters they've created. These judges must get some balls and batman these bastards for there are only predators and prey in our society 24/7 and it's their job to fix it.
No guns were pulled in this incident. Had there been, this old hippie may have acted out a bit. Democracy, thy name is not fear.
