The tax payers are complicit if they indirectly hired and paid these thugs. Hit them in the pocket book until they scream for this stuff to stop.
The cops don’t care about fines as they don’t pay them themselves. The law should be that any brutality case settlement should be paid out of the offending officers pocket. THAT would bring an end to this stuff. Until then the cops just laugh at us.
You are absolutely right. I have really considered this, too. When I saw the youtube video, the CHP chief was basically defending his officer. No, he didn’t know how this man ended up in a trauma unit BUT it is under investigation/litigation blah, blah, blah. I’ll be honest with you, TalonDJ... I drive, my husband drives, my 17 year old is about to take his driving test and it scares the heck out of me. It really does. Law abiding citizens should NOT worry about some rogue officer that will taze you, beat you or ultimately end your life because they are having a bad day and feel good about beating someone. Hugs, Mom
