Yeah, I just spotted that one. 

Clearly another example of highly professional police work in, oh.... it's fucking Mississippi.  I can't do this with a straight face.

I hope the family sues the motherfucking murderers for all they are worth.... which is probably about $11.37 down there.

The best they could come up with for shooting the woman was she touched their car aggressively. Given that she's white, I don't expect that will go far for them. If she was black, it would be enough.

Oh fuck, that's going to be a tough one for Conservatives.

-She's white.
-But he's a cop
-His name is Mohameed
-She has a foreign last name

Be careful, Republicunts, you might get dizzy from that one.

Another hero cop.  I guess to cop lovers he was just "gathering evidence?"

Long Island cop charged with sexually assaulting arrested woman

[The Grand Nudger]

“Law-abiding tea drinkers and gardeners beware: One visit to a garden store and some loose tea leaves in your trash may subject you to an early morning, SWAT-style raid, complete with battering ram, bulletproof vests, and assault rifles,” Lucero wrote. “Perhaps the officers will intentionally conduct the terrifying raid while your children are home, and keep the entire family under armed guard for 2 ½ hours while concerned residents of your quiet, family-oriented neighborhood wonder what nefarious crime you have committed. This is neither hyperbole nor metaphor – it is precisely what happened to the Harte family in the case before us on appeal.”

So sayeth the Tenth Circuit Judge in a Kansas appeal. More gems from the story....

The Hartes don’t fit the profile of typical neighborhood weed dealers. In fact, both were former CIA employees with high-level security clearance. Robert took on the role of a stay-at-home dad while Adlynn worked as an attorney. Lucero made note of the officers’ lack of investigation into the couple before the raid.

“The ‘investigation’ of the Hartes was nominal at best: Despite believing the Hartes had a marijuana grow operation somewhere in their home, the JCSO did not conduct surveillance, check utility records, look for fans or other alterations typically used to conceal grow operations, or notice the tomato garden readily visible through a front-facing basement window,” Lucero wrote. “There is also no evidence, aside from the apparent discovery of a traffic ticket, that anyone at the JCSO even conducted a background check on the Harte family.”
Officers searched the home for 2 ½ hours, holding the couple and their two children against their will. When they couldn’t find any drugs or paraphernalia, the officers suggested that the couple’s teenaged son may have a drug problem. And the field test used on the tea leaves turned out to have a 70 percent false positive rate.

The Hartes claim that officers lied about the field test results showing the tea leaves tested positive for THC, the principal ingredient in marijuana. Police failed to photograph the results and did not send the samples to a lab for confirmation, given the pressure to obtain warrants for the April 20 crackdown – facts not lost on Moritz.

We're obviously dealing with professionals here......  So, initially, the fed shut them down on the grounds of "qualified immunity" in a 7 million dollar suit for damages and greivance, their appeal found a more sympathetic court.

“The Hartes are elated with the outcome of their appeal and delighted that this long-awaited day has arrived,” Pilate said in a statement. “The appeals court obviously carefully scrutinized the large factual record.”

But were the pigs arrested or even fired?  No.  They act like nazi thugs and the taxpayers pay the bill.  Welcome to 'Murrica.  Land of the Nowhere Near As Free As You Think You Are while there are asshole cops like that running around loose.

They need to change the police motto from "To serve and Protect" to "To serve ourselves and Protect our own asses"

This is the reason why I'm starting to hate living in this country
