The Activist Post is reporting that "A Los Angeles man has escaped serious charges after being exonerated by police body camera footage which showed officers planting a baggy of cocaine into his wallet." CBS2 New released the body cam footage and Complex News on Youtube picked up on the story.
Although this incident happened in LA, the land of the Rodney King incident, the same thing happened in Toronto. 4 Toronto cops were accused of planting heroin on a suspect and they got off due to trial delays they created. The "crown" simply withdrew the charges.
They may have in fact caught this guy with that flap of coke (ditched it, officer picks it up) but even IF so, putting it in his wallet on camera is probably going to cost this cop his job. MAJOR JUDGEMENT FAIL.
ReplyDeleteA hundred "atta-boys" are erased by one "you dumb-ass". Now everyone who was ever arrested by these two and convicted of possession will have their lawyer filing a motion to overturn, and a lawsuit against the city. Rightfully so, and they'll get it. These two morons just cost the taxpayers more money than their entire salary over the course of their career.
If they are truly bent and it's not a judgement fail, they need to burn. Nothing worse than a lying cop. I'm looking at YOU, VPD....
