Thankfully they dropped the charges against the victim. It is worth noting that most likely it was video of the incident which saved this man’s bacon. Which is ironic considering the efforts officers will go through to prevent people from recording their interactions with the public.
Now hopefully the DA will step up and do the right thing and charge this corrupt bully with a badge.
State Sponsored Criminal #435: John Doe
Because cops are better than everyone else, didn’t you get that memo!?

TMM is the owner, editor, and principal author at The Minuteman, a competitive shooter, and staff member for Boomershoot. Even in his free time he’s merging his love and knowledge of computers and technology with his love of firearms.
Many know his private name and information however due to the current political climate, many are distancing themselves due to the abandonment of Due Process.
“Because cops are better than everyone else, didn’t you get that memo!?”
Certainly the politicians here in CA seem to feel that way – which is why they exempt cops from all the ridiculous anti-gun laws here (“bullet button” non-removable AR magazine law, “safe handgun roster” law, high capacity magazine ban, .50 BMG rifle ban, etc., etc. ad nauseum). I think the Police Chiefs Association would be a lot less willing to support gun restrictions if the officers on the street had to live by the same laws as the rest of us…but they don’t, and I don’t see any likelihood of that changing unless a court forces it to.
