Yikes. Clearly excessive

Obviously it wasn’t. A jury heard and saw more information than you ever would/did about this case and acquitted the cop.

Do you have inside info or is it just ACAB cause that’s what discord told you?

No just watched the video of the cop tazing a man standing there with no weapon

Oh goody , a new acronym to remember . 😉

Whole town of fuckin boot lickers.

The video does paint a different story.

It sounds more like a case of the prosecutor not wanting a conviction and doing nothing to pursue a conviction. They know who the defense will call but do nothing to get their own witness to disagree. They do t even call the guy who was tazed to the stand.

It is very clear they wanted the cop to get off because they need to work with them and we’re grudgingly prosecuting a case they had no interest in winning.

Mixed bag for sure. I’m not convinced all the abusive fuckers were fired over the past few years, but at least we got the cops out of the schools, (for now anyway) unlike many towns our size/MAGA makeup. Writing the whole town off would be a real time-saver right? That would gloss over the advisory panel efforts and mental health crisis worker on department duty. As observed elsewhere looks like St. A got hamstrung by the state on this one.

Oh no the poor drunk asshole destroying businesses. Is there no low life scum you wouldn't defend?

Having had an interaction over a vandalized vending machine in my UVM dorm with this particular cop when he worked with UVM Police almost a decade ago, I can say he wasn’t professional by any means. He was very aggressive and used false interrogation tactics when all I did was hold the door for a bunch of drunk idiots (who actually kicked in the glass on the vending machine) I didn’t know that were entering my dorm.

Okay. Not sure how this relates to his being acquitted by a jury of his peers?

You obviously made a poor choice in holding the door open for delinquents 10 years ago. Does that mean the decision you made yesterday was poor?

Weird standard.

If you read the article, it notes that he testified that he has since left law enforcement altogether. That being said, I’m implying he was a shitty cop to begin with.
