Kody Fisher with Indianapolis WISH TV did a great job telling Vivian's story last night!
Continuing this conversation is important! The fact that they dropped the charges (after being forced with public outrage) does not take away what happened, and the subsequent series of failures. We the people want changes.
Officers should be given a fine of $1000 to $500 for failure to have body camera on during traffic stops!!! We need to petition for this fact also and hold them accountable for disobeying the local laws.
Why has the cop not been arrested for assault and battery, as well as perjury on his arrest report (if signed as sworn) or false statements (if not signed as sworn) as well as falsification of government records?
I found my way here cause The Civil Rights Lawyer Channel on YouTube has a video that was a recommendation. Vivian handled the situation very well. She didn't do anything that the corrupt cop could use against her to make his case stronger. The father reacted very calm, and cool while his rights were being violated too. I hope enough attention is put on the officer being charged with the crimes he committed.
We have to spread the word about this officer and make sure he does not get hired somewhere else and do this to some other innocent kids. This deranged phsyco does not ever need to become an officer ever again.
I'm happy she finally got some justice.
The bigger issue is; there is an epidemic of this sort of behavior by America's police officers. Hopefully we can turn this ongoing trend around one town at a time. This and a lawsuit against the police department, the town, and the former officer "in his personal capacity", is a good start.
End abusive policing!
End qualified immunity!
