I don’t know what’s worse, the deprivation of rights under color of law by about 1/2 dozen officers, or the Chief LYING saying his rights weren’t violated. I’m not even a lawyer and I can identify at least 5 different ways his rights were violated. Leaving him soiled for 4+ hours…are you f*cling kidding me?!? Chief should resign in DISGRACE and his officers should face federal charges under 18 USC 242 AND 241.
Under arrest for obstruction is always the dumbest charge officers make. It’s literally the charge they always make in illegal arrests. All obstruction charges should be reviewed by an outside party
"It wasn't our best day."
The cops should have faced assault and kidnapping charges.
Officers need to pay the settlement, not the taxpayers.
Nothing will change as long as the taxpayer is paying the lawsuit settlements.
250k from tax payers and not the oath breakers. End qualified immunity. Make cops carry insurance
Back the blue till it happens to you.
Settlements need to start coming from police pensions.
The 250k should come out of the sheriff's budget.
Everyone of these officers need to be held accountable.
Abolish Qualified Immunity and make the cops actually pay for their illegal activities instead of the taxpayers.
How about firing the deputies as part of the lawsuit since there is zero accountability.
The DA should also be charged for not dropping the charges for a year.

$250,000 is no were near enough. $1 million, plus lawyer fees, sounds about right.
His first mistake was having any trust in the police to do the right thing.

Takes a sick minded individual to be a cop
250K should’ve been doubled.
"I wasn't an activist until they made me one!"
Sure, they settled! It's not THEIR money. They don't GAF
