Boy, can you get more sponsored than that? The state is going to pay the bill for you boy’s breaking the law, but we’re not going to correct you when you do it.
State Sponsored Criminal: The Entire Minneapolis PD
Because why punish someone for breaking the law when someone else, ostensibly the victim, is picking up the bill.
I’ve made comments before about good and great prosecutors. The bottom line is these men can withhold information and otherwise ruin the lives of honest men merely because they some how get caught in the gears. While it can happen, actions like this are grossly negligent and speak volumes to the character of the man holding the position.
Sounds like a really nice guy huh? Yeah it just gets better. Flip over and read the whole steaming pile if you want to. I suggest stashing the sharp objects.
State Sponsored Criminal: Christopher Jones
Because when you’re a prosecutor all you need to do to destroy someone’s life is be a little unethical, then the state will destroy them for you.
His plea has ended his career and resulted in the loss of his pension as well. Another other officer has been charged. It appears that the police department at least put the officers on unpaid suspension at the start of the mess.
State Sponsored Criminal HM: Emmanuel Ripoelle & Luke Davis
Now evidently the officer offered to buy the firearm but the people refused saying they wanted it “properly disposed of.” Which in my world means sold to an FFL to help close up the deficit. Evidently he felt that the law didn’t apply to him. Which given this is Illinois it isn’t a shocker.
State Sponsored Criminal: Officer John Doe
Because the laws only apply to the little people, when you’re a cop you get piles of exemptions.
No officers have been fired and the acting chief had the following to say:
The public if they get stopped and simply comply with what they are asked to do, they have nothing to fear, nothing to fear at all.
Translation. Follow orders blindly or suffer violence without cause. Think about that, do exactly as the officer says or they can kill you. Think about what that implies and remember if you fight back you’ll be charged with assault.
When they do it, it’s merely law enforcement, even when force isn’t necessary.
State Sponsored Criminal: Andrew P. Murrill
Because when you’re a cop and you’re bored and someone doesn’t do exactly what you want, beat them to within an inch of their life.
I’m reminded of a bit from Ron White, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
We cannot play dumb when it comes to us violating the law but they get a free pass to arrest someone and violate their rights because they don’t know the law. If the people charged with enforcing the law don’t even know what’s legal or illegal anymore, maybe it’s time to reset the law because they’re obviously too much garbage on the books.
State Sponsored Criminal: CSPD
Because ignorance of the law can only be used against the otherwise law-abiding citizen, not the cop looking to abuse him.
