'Lost' police video reveals officer's criminal acts
After seeing allegedly “lost” video evidence air during an ABC15 investigative report, a man who was tasered while handcuffed is planning to file a lawsuit against the Superior Police Department.
The station also obtained an undisclosed police report that shows the key arresting officer made a series of clearly false statements about the arrest and use of force.[/QUOTE]
Who pays for this settlement? How did this footage get lost? Who was involved in hiding this footage? What reforms will be made to prevent such abuses in the future? There will always be police officers that break the rules, but what is more important is what the department does to prevent such abuses in the future. Moreover, when you only jump after video reaches the public, it looks like you're not interested in reform.
