Far too often, the public prosecutors are overly friendly with the police.<BR/><BR/>There was a case where the public prosecutor used threats of piling on more charges to get the victim of taser abuse to drop all the accusations against the taser-abusing police.<BR/><BR/>What should happen in such cases is that the corrupt prosecutor should be charged and jailed for such behavior.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872771321149993568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020359666593184087.post-29688836581404092972008-04-26T16:23:00.000+01:002008-04-26T16:23:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872771321149993568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020359666593184087.post-35057906640485665842008-04-26T10:06:00.000+01:002008-04-26T10:06:00.000+01:00The yelling is not as haphazard as it may seem. Po...The yelling is not as haphazard as it may seem. Police are trained to continually shout verbal commands, as a way of asserting control of the situation. In practice, that means shouting commands (that can't be obeyed) provides justification for charges of resisting, and protects the police from accusations of excessive force. This has become even more important with the ubiquity of video. When a jury is presented with a low-resolution video, where the police are positioned to obscure the person they are applying force to, their main impression is of police shouting commands. To the type of people who are carefully selected to serve on that type of trial, those verbal commands reinforce the authority of that force application, which leads to police-favorable verdicts.<BR/><BR/>It would be dangerous to underestimate the courtroom and media savvy of today's police in US and Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
