Cop on tape: "I'm going to make stuff up"

"Franklins jeans are allowed to fall to his knees after his shoes are taken away" LOL yeah..that is what was holding them up. Also i love how they are all thugged out in the video but on the interviews its button up shirts and sweater vests.

What the cop did was wrong, but i love how they present the info in the news story lol

Who cares what they looked like. They wear baggy pants that are a few sizes too big an that makes them guilty? Looks to me like you go to the same church as that dirty cop.

you have to admit its funny when you really think about it

they paint the guys as upstanding citizens, and they very well may be, but what it really comes down to is that they were racially profiled because of their "ghetto clothing". If they would have been strolling down the street in that suit and sweater vest attire they were filmed in for the news story, there's simply no way the cops would have targeted them...granted, on the flip side they probably would have been mugged.
 
We discovered at least three other dash cam videos exist of the Lawson/Franklin arrest. But none show Officer Richardson during the critical time period, when he had Lawson and Franklin at gunpoint and later kicked Lawson.

We asked Whitcomb if the department was going to hold officers accountable when dashboard cameras aren't turned on.

"We do, we actually do, look at our OPA reports," Whitcomb said. But when we reminded him it didn't happen in this case, he said, "well maybe not in that case, but there's other cases."
Wow... wow.
 
I never trust what any cop says, actually when they say something I assume it's a lie or half truth. They have too much power are not accountable and act like assholes because they can. I have zero respect for cops, they are worse than most "criminals" in this country.
