Dashcam video shows White County sheriff's deputy lied on arrest report

[@texasmade2684]

Bad cop is not rare whats rare is a prosecutor that admits there is a bad cop

Facts. Prosecutors say it don't matter if he lied the defendant is guilty.

[@xandervk2371]

Exactly. They usually play along.

[@mervyngreene6687]

The D.A. did the right thing here. However, it looks like the reason for the act is not quite heroic. Good litigators always vet potential witnesses. By reporting the actions of the witness should be reported to protect future trials.

[@ariefraiser140]

Why didn't the DA also turn around and charge the criminal cop?

It is common place, been going on for quite some time. But now you are able to see because of Technology. Such as body cams,surveillance cameras,social media and the media. (And the Media is 💯 one way, lying,corrupt, and bent on stirring up the situation which is already bad) I do not have any love for the police that’s for damn sure! They have been breaking the law they feel they are above the law and they are right because The Thin Blue Line is just another gang. In my opinion no better than the KKK/BLM/ANTIFA! And they are taught to lie Legally. But it is a complete double standard. Because it is against the law to lie to the police. So how can you be legal for them to lie to you? Our government has grown too large and two corrupt. The government needs to go through a full purge. And I am not meaning killing anyone. Just removal of anyone who is currently in our government at this time and if you have worked for the government ever in your life you should never be able to work in the government again, along with anyone in your family. I can hardly believe that a man with dementia has been elected as president. A man who has been in our government for 48 years and has done nothing but be a bigot used government to make money in back room shady deals with China and Ukraine along with bragging about it! We need term limits not geriatrics running our country. I could go on and on but hopefully people see my point.

You know he has probably been working at another department, since the day he resigned from that one. Departments don't mind hiring cops with shitty records, if they did there wouldn't be many police. The police departments don't care if a cop violates your civil rights, because most cops do it at one time or another in some fashion.

So they told the prosecuting attorney that if he wants to move on to mayor or Governor he better find a reason to get rid of him. I don't know maybe he beat up some politicians kid or a judge's nephew or something. But he did something to piss the royalty off, because they don't get rid of their henchmen without a reason. And of course they did it just for show. Because he was not charged with any crimes. He's working for another Police Department probably 4 to 6 weeks after he resigned. Just like that pedophile cop that was working in South Carolina as a school resource officer. He resigned and went right down and got a job in Jacksonville Florida and did the same thing.
