Nothing has been proven, that is only the claims of one side of the case and not a single one has been substantiated; but you're telling the police are automatically guilty? What ever happened to the judicial system of presumption of innocence? It goes both ways, my friend.
Plus, this is a civil suit, not a criminal one; so if this did happen then why wasn't there a criminal investigation into it? The burden of proof in civil court is much lower than in criminal court, and I am suspicious when files are charged in the former and not the latter. If a "crime" has taken place as claimed, then there should be appropriate charges filed; but often people make claims only in attempts of financial gain and not "justice" as claimed.
And sorry, but I don't believe "this kind of shit happens way to(o) often" no more than I believe that police officers are just looking for an opportunity to shoot someone as some claim. I know a lot of police officers at numerous levels, and even though a few are jerks I have yet to meet one that seriously had a desire to shoot another human being.
It's tantamount to calling those in the military "baby killers"...
So instead of reading such bullshit and believing it true, search on one Hood County sheriff's Sgt. Lance McLean, who was buried two days ago after being shot in the head Friday as he answered a disturbance call in a subdivision outside of Granbury that turned out to be a ambush. He was there to prevent his murderer from killing a girl he was accused of sexually assaulting last year, and was killed while intervening .
I am sure his wife and two special-needs children would love to hear how corrupt and abusive police officers are...
