What will it take for them to get the message? Well these guys are going to get some kind of message. NJ cops charged with beating teen after incident caught on camera.
They drive up on a kid walking to his car. Speak for a few seconds and then start punching him. They conclude the night by writing a police report on the incident that is complete fiction. Which they never expected to get called to account on because they didn't realize that they were being recorded. (There is always a camera.)
The cops are charged with civil rights violations, obstruction of justice and filing a false police report. If convicted, they face 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Maybe they should put a sign up in the police station saying, "There is always a camera." They are at least guilty of felony stupidity for not realizing there is always a camera, but sadly I don't think they can be charged with that in New Jersey.
Here is a news video. Paterson Police Officers Accused Of Assaulting 19-Year-Old. The raw security video has been deemed " inappropriate or offensive to some audiences." So I can't embed it on this site. It has an annoying Chirstmas Carol droning in the background. (The incident took place on December 14th of last year.) The link is queued up to bypass the first 15 seconds, but YT apparently won't let me do that with the emedded video below.
They are hired for their willingness to do what they are told....NOT for their ability to think. And because of unions it's RARE for them to personally be held accountable for their
ReplyDeleteabusiveness. And in this case just because they were charged does NOT mean they will be found guilty.
