Summation of article.
1) Sea Isle City citizens had to pay $1 million dollars to settle lawsuits cause by corrupt police who have still have not been fired.
2) Cases involved beating of a minor with hemophelia, perjury, falsifying warrants, cover-up by the department, and racism.
A) "Documents provided by the city before the Feb. 1 and 2, 2007 trial, as well as testimony by officers at trial, gave contradictory information about which officers were present, the suit said, alleging this was done to cover up officers' wrongdoing."
B) "U.S. District Court Judge Robert B. Kugler wrote in 2008 that "there is evidence suggesting that (Detectives Jon) Gansert and (Dennis) Felsing made up facts to support the arrest warrant."
No one has been discipline or fired. The public pays for the mistakes of protected class of citizens.

Why have they not been fired? And arrested? And jailed?
OK, there's punch line. It's always a training problem with these guys. If you have to be trained not to go 6 on 1 to pound the crap out of a 16 year old kid and blatantly lie about it in court, you clearly need to go find another profession.
Government unions.
I’m not holding my breath for the NAACP or the ACLU to get this.
“Why have they not been fired? And arrested? And jailed?”
Because they’re COPS! You have a PROBLEM with that, citizen? /sarcasm;)
New police union contracts should have these $1MM awards come right out of the unions pension funds.
Hit them in the paycheck until this crap stops.
FR’s ‘cops can do no wrong’ boot lickers signed a petition to keep ‘em out of the can?? Just kidding!
