Lawsuit: Cops Hit Man’s Car, Check To Make Sure They Aren’t On Camera, Arrest Him To Cover It Up

Two police officers are being accused of hitting Robert Jackson‘s car and then arresting him to cover it up. Surveillance footage shows police cars driving the wrong way down a street and sideswiping the SUV. Officers then exited their vehicles and appeared to search for cameras before arresting Jackson for destruction of city property. . . .

The charges were eventually dropped against Jackson but he had to spend the night in a “filthy, overpopulated, rat- and rodent-infested cell,” his suit says. “The officer who arrested me said if I took care of the expense on my vehicle, they would take care of their vehicle and I wouldn’t have gotten arrested,” Jackson remembered. “He knew he was wrong.” The lawsuit is seeking unspecified monetary damages.

Thanks for the tips on both films, F15E.

‘O’ looks like a great special effect tour de force, from this YT vid:

Police departments are out of control. They need to be abolished.

At least the officer didn’t exercise his unalienable right to shoot the guy.

how did he know they were cops?

Perhaps a rotating red beacon on the patrol car? Not sure when police cruisers started getting lights... but maybe that's how he knew?

I completely agree about Oblivion. Very good. A noteworthy score too.

Seems to be a lot of cops with that mentality. One must wonder how many murders they get away with via the same sort of "sting" operation...

My heart goes out to the brave and honest LEOs that have to live amid the scum that tarnishes them all.
