Here’s something you don’t see every day. A guy getting set up by a local law enforcement and a compliant district attorney.
If not for cell phone video, 47-year-old disabled veteran Douglas Dendinger could be going to prison — because of an apparent coordinated effort by Washington Parish, La. cops and prosecutors who falsely accused him of battery and witness intimidation.
Yeah, you don’t see that every day. Only every other day.
So the officers and prosecutors involved could be looking at serious ethics charges. Could! Yeah right, serious ethics charges probably mean a slap in the hand. Two years of hell for the victim and the perps could face ethical charges. The ‘protect and serve’ can charge and/or kill with impunity. Just because they can.
I expect that things will get worse especially with the privatization of prisons, just so the beds are filled and to justify these money-making schemes. As soon as they legally figure a way to get the prisoner chain-gangs going, the incarceration business will really take off; prisoners for hire on the cheap with all money going to the prison owners.
