I totally disagree! I am not sure which is the better way to go (UOC or CCW). However lawsuits only paint us as money grabbers looking for a quick buck. What I read is at least 3 LEOs getting some continuing education and then with any luck transferring this to their fellow LEOs.marshaul wrote:I disagree. This is most definitely NOT a time to let it slide. The ONLY way the police in Komifornia, or anywhere else, are every going to get the message is by seeing one of their own lose every penny he has or ever hopes to have, or better yet ends up in prison, for violating the rights of a citizen.It's up to demnogis of course, but this may be a time to let it slide.
The officer didn't try to back out at all. He fully admitted his wrongdoing, and apologized.
Admitting they were wrong does not negate or excuse the wrongdoing any more than it would for any of us if we were to inadvertently violate the law. If demnogis had "made a mistake" and had a loaded magazine even touching his sidearm, you can bet that he would be sitting in a cell right now no matter how much he admitted his wrongdoing or apologized.
This was not merely an illegal prolonged detention, it was a full fledged false arrest. Nail them to the wall.
