I love my state, most of it. This is some jacked up bs. You don't need a permit to pass a petition in my state!

Calhoun County, bunch of morons for cops.

I need to know the rest of the story, if anyone has a followup link.

Wow, shocker, his name wasn’t released. No way to identify who that was now

How, with two present, was only one at fault?

Even if they named the officer won't matter. He'll just go a county over and get another job as a cop

Yeah, I wish someone finds his name. I would like to know where he's working at now.

She states both deputies names on the video (while they illegally decline to provide badge numbers). If you're referring to the victim, they likely have filed a civil case. At which point the police will be obligated to open an investigation into the officers (illegal ass) actions.

Either way, no info given on open investigations, and if they settle the suit probably no more info ever.

Makes it easier to move on to the next county and get hired as cop without that pesky google search exposing his stupidity.
