I think that Will’s post is yet another valuable contribution he seems to make on almost a daily basis. As I look at the video and then read the lame excuses and lies from the King County Sheriff’s Office, I realize that once again a police officer will get away with a crime — in full view of the world.
Let us assume that a private citizen did the same thing. There would be no “tragic accident” comments from the police. Instead, we would hear about a “vicious assault” and felony charges. What viewers saw on that film was a police officer committing a felony — a felony.
But, in the end, this criminal cop will remain on the force, and the young man who was brutally assaulted will have to recover on his own. Another day in Police State Amerika.
