I've been to Federal Court, and won a out of court settlement in New Jersey.Compared to Ross's ordeal, mine was a piece of cake. It's a 6 figure out of court settlement with the land shark Attorney. No. things have not improve in a any real sense.The Bell Curve not withstanding, the Institutional AND SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION is still alive and well in Law Enforcement. The Qualified Immunity thing is a Legal fiction with no real basis in Law. It is a creature created out of Mission Creep of The Supreme Court. It has it's historical beginnings in the 17 and 1800's Sovereign Immunity concept brought over from England' The 5 or MAYBE 10% wins in Court against Cops is false bravado, the other 90% that never even get a chance to make it to trial pay the price. Not much as changed...
Stealing the loot from a gang banger is no big deal, they just go out and get more. When The Road Pirates snatch the loot of a hard working citizen, that's another matter...
Excuse my French, that's the biggest load of bullshit that I've read so far. For you Citizens out there, initiate a well founded Internal Affairs complaint against a LEO and see just how far that goes. They will rubber stamp "Unsubstantiated" on the findings and you will be on your way. A Federal lawsuit is the only way that you will get any justice...
The calling 911 when you need a cop is getting old, and the facts just don't back that up: Law Enforcement is under no obligation to respond to a "call for help " and there is Federal Case Law to back that up. They are code enforcers and revenue collectors that are NOT employed to come to your rescue. The horror stories of calling 911 are legend, just Google it, and think twice about bringing down the local armed militia. You don't have to go that far, just check around your neighborhood for some local optics. Check out GILEE on Google and see what your up against. As for the unions, the are the well spring for all the rouge activities of the lawlessness of Law Enforcement. You can eat your way up thru the food chain after that.
Just "who" are the primary mover's behind the politically correct "hate crimes' nonsense ? We see the Usual Suspects of Law Enforcement behind this legislation for a "protected status " of the local armed military. No one is talking about the Third Rail of the name that dare not be mentioned. Who protect's senior citizens, veterans and I could down the list of those who need protection?

Re: Good Cops
Where are they ? Do I have to look on the back of a milk carton to find them ?
Hate Crimes ?
