The lawsuits coming out of this debacle better be fucking huge to ensure that this shit never happens again. And any cops willfully arresting citizens for no fucking reason are disgusting brown shirts. My support of law enforcement is at an all time low. The FBI, CIA, NSA, and now local law enforcement are all on my shit list now.
All Time Low. Secret Police
I bet they snicker when people chant blue lives matter
And the NJSP control over gun laws in this state are also Nazi-esqe.
They also act like literal Nazi storm troopers.
Can you sue the cop for acting "under color of law" ? There has to be consequences.
Yes, absolutely. They don't get to hide behind unconstitutional orders. They are personally liable. Get their badge number and record everything.
Why's this downvoted? Isn't personal liability the entire point of making each one swear an oath?
not downvoted. Dashes in username.
I thought qualified immunity made it pretty much impossible to sue a police officer. My opinion after reading /r/bad_cop_no_donut for a few years is that cops can pretty much do whatever they want as long as they don’t make their bosses angry - and even then they still get away with it half the time. And when they don’t get away with it they will get a far lighter punishment than other people who commit the same offense.
Civil rights violations are federal and police are personally liable.... Part of dismantling the Democrats Jim crow laws
I didn't say you wouldn't have to deal with activist judges, because you most certainly will.
Yes you can. Precedent has been set in US 1983.

What we are seeing now maybe unprecedented though, mass violation is civil rights.
Worse. They're arresting them for defying a lockdown order and daring to engage in peaceful assembly.
Can't go to church either Along with hate speech and this crap, the 1st ammendment is groaning.in pain except for the propagandist in the MSM.This is going to be interesting. Bound to get another Dred/Scot ish ruling somewhere.
The Constitution is being shredded and the totalitarians are winning.
Ruby Ridge was probably worse. After the ATF and FBI shot Vicki Weaver in the head (FBI, actually, Lon Hourichi was a FBI sniper), they mocked Randy Weaver by asking her what she had for breakfast over the megaphone.
All because someone who didn't like him said he was "muh nazi" and the leftists in the ATF and FBI wanted to flex their muscles and law/accounting degrees.
Nobody ever got punished for it, and Lon Hourichi was celebrated in law enforcement magazines as a hero.
There was I think a $10M wrongful death lawsuit the family (daughter) won but that's not much of a consolation when your parents and siblings are killed
Right, but murder shouldn't only be punishable in civil court. We all know what the FBI and ATF want to do to us now at least, due to their hot-headedness.
It ended when Arkansas local police threatened to get me jumped by rednecks, and when reddit got the FBI to attempt to arrest me for a process crime.
Also, when police lied on police reports about friends.
I wish people would stop with the blanket cop support.
Hey, reddit did that to me too!
Tell me your story.
