Another Ferguson Officer "Protecting and Serving"

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

And ultimately, even if the family wins the lawsuit, nothing will happen to this "fine, upstanding" officer of the law. He'll hide behind his badge like the coward he and most police officers are, claim qualified immunity, and the taxpayers will pick up the tab.

Police officer Justin Cosma was transferred to Ferguson, Missouri from another department in the state after he was sued for choking and hog-tying a 12-year-old boy.

Cosma made national news this week when he detained a group of journalists during the protests in Ferguson. Like many officers, after he was identified in the protests, reporters looked deeper into his records to see if he had a history of violence.

According to a lawsuit filed in 2012 in Missouri federal court, officers Justin Cosma and Richard Carter assaulted a 12 year old boy out front of his house as he was getting mail from his mailbox.

The lawsuit states that the police randomly approached and questioned the boy while he was out front of his house and asked him if he was recently playing on a nearby highway. When the boy told the officers that he wasn’t, they became confrontational, and attacked the child.

Or really stupid OP's actually thinking that 2 cops would attack a 12 year old boy and hog tie him, because they thought he was playing on the highway.....How fucked up can he, and the dumbfucks that wrote this bullshit be?

It will not end unless and until people start dropping the hammer on bad cops. It really is that simple.

Lawsuit Settled Involving Ferguson Officer Who Allegedly Choked Hog-Tied A 12-Year-Old

 

[Mr. H.]

The judge dismissed the case as a result of the settlement.
It's still an "alleged" incident.
The kids' parents got paid, and the department saved a ton of money.

Exactly how gullible can one be?

Does ANYBODY really believe that this incident actually took place? Two cops assaulted a 12-year-old kid for no reason? Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Never heard of the "laugh test"?

Is ANYBODY stupid enough be believe that the case being settled out of court is a vindication of the preposterous claims?

Apparently there are such people.
