🤨People ask "Are you SO glad to have this over?" :D
No.
It's not over... 😳
Why would anyone think it is?
We're not glad, we're exhausted! We've been in a fight every day since Jan 24th. We've had family, friends, neighbors, and people who have never met say horrible things about us in this situation.
Let me ask you something; What would it take for you to allow someone to assault your child? To throw them onto the asphalt and injure them? To climb on top of them and cuff them? To yell at and intimidate them. Book them into the county jail, finger print, and release a mug shot that makes its way through their school - Followed by months of rumors (at school and in the community) without being able to adequately defend them - out of fear it will upset the prosecutors and make things worse? To lord a bogus court case over
them for months? To have a town government (town council) go on the defensive against your child and the trauma they suffered? Go through months of concerns, tears, comforting your child, having them suffer anxiety driving to school, waking up from nightmares, and more.
Do you think dropping the charges is what Justice looks like? That would be 'over' for you? You would feel like your child was owed NOTHING? No apology? No policy changes to ensure it doesn't happen to someone else's child?
I found two definitions of Justice that I really like:
Justice - The result of resolving an event, situation, or circumstance in a way that is fair for the victim.
Justice for a person who has been unjustly arrested and assaulted by the police involves holding the responsible officers accountable for their actions through an impartial and thorough investigation, followed by appropriate disciplinary actions (for the officer, but what about the town council who knowingly hired him - different blog post), and criminal charges; where warranted. Justice in a police assault is difficult, because you cannot undo the event, nor the impact it has on the victim and community. As such, justice in police assault cases ought to include ensuring the victim receives adequate support, such as medical treatment, psychological counseling, support from the police department, support from the city government, and financial compensation. Additionally, systemic reforms may be necessary to prevent future incidents, including changes in police training, hiring, oversight, policies and procedures. The overarching goal is to restore the victim's rights and trust in the justice system, while promoting accountability and transparency within law enforcement agencies and city government.
You tell me what it would take to allow someone to do that to your child, or your wife, or mother?
What would it take to feel like Justice has been done?
Police brutality is engrained in the American fiber. It’s not going away until a few generations. There needs to be a list of police officers who commit these crimes against citizens. Close the loopholes for them to show up at another county of state doing the same dam thing.
Just think about what your seeing. I’m beginning to see it’s white police brutality. I saw this young lady getting slammed down and man -handled that’s why I’m in this feed. Just makes me sick.
It’s difficult to see one video after another and see its a white police officer. Why can’t people wake up and see there is a serious problem with white men. Kinda like our constitutional crisis.

My police protect pedos and extreme violent crime networks that do trafficking, kidnaps, child r*pe, murders, fentanyl, political schemes, usurp power, influence authorities, stage false incidents to harm/ kill, set up innocents. Its a cabal. Its a small network running the police and also the town's key people and they then pass on the conscriptions to what would be decent people but by the time they join this stalking, killing, power grab network, they are complicit and guilty too. If you speak up they do more to harm you. Many of us have lost family to police abuse and then the police target you more, they make sport of hunting and harming good natured and wonderful people. Many of them…
came across this story on youtube. the way he tossed and kneeled on your daughter....some might be of the mindset that his life should be in danger....
I think justice should be put this bully cop in prison for breaking the law just like he did. If there are consequences it will stop. Noone is above the law
I'm only just now hearing about this entire outrageous matter. It just goes to show that, as a nation, our law enforcement forces and those who have authority over them, are for the most part, an uneducated group of people. It requires a certain IQ to be involved in law enforcement: not too high and not too low, but just high enough to know how to follow orders and to not question whether or not those orders are 1. legal and 2. make any sense at all. For the offending officer's part, he had ample time to turn on his bodycam. I'm pretty sure that anyone holding their license like that would end up dropping it when tackled like that.…
