Let's see some prosecutions of the police for harassment, false imprisonment, destruction of property, assault, battery, conspiracy to commit a felony, creating a disturbance, conduct unbecoming of a public servant, and obstruction of the law. Let's see them go to prison for abusing the citizens. This is a clear cut case of police attempting to fabricate charges in order to put away someone who is guilty only of contempt of cop.
Set a course for confrontation with the police union; it's necessary. Liquidate police by firing and prosecuting as necessary to effect a clean department that won't brutalize the public. There will always be more people to sign up to join the police, so we may as well get rid of the shitty ones. Cleaning house is long overdue, and we need to start realistically expecting to have to fire significant proportions of a lot of different police departments. Believe me, law and order won't simply break down overnight if we start holding the police accountable.
The only way we as the public are going to render comeuppance to the police is if we get political momentum going for harsh legal/criminal consequences when they abuse the public.

- timv 10y ago> Any credible reason to suppose they were going to go through with it? You mean, other than the fact that they did? From the article: In the end they decide on two criminal infractions [...] The tickets they gave him started a criminal prosecution in the Connecticut superior court They didn't like what he was doing, so they gave him bogus tickets. They weren't "some guys talking tough" they were police abusing their power.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoOk. Reprehensible.
- googletazer 10y agoCops convicted in every country go to special resort prisons. Just repealing this, and pushing them to general population prisons for serious shit might be enough of a deterrent. Sure - it may be a death sentence, but one who gives them out should expect one himself.
