My thanks to Bucctoo over at the GYHD Forums for pointing this out.
Apparently the state of the Police State is such that an inability to walk, much less move, is tantamount to failure to follow a pig’s cop’s orders.
The good news in all this(if one can consider such a thing) is that the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office appears to be owning up to the shitstorm created by Deputy Charlotte Marshall Jones.
“On Tuesday, Chief Deputy Jose Docobo spoke to the media about the incident. He said after looking at the video himself, he was astonished.
“I was appalled,” said Docobo. “Obviously the actions are indefensible at every level.”
Docobo also said that the supervisors who were in central processing at the time of the incident have been suspended with pay. They include Corporal Decondra Williams, Corporal Steven Dickie, and Sergeant Gary Hinson. Docobo says none of the supervisors filed a report or told anyone about the incident, even though they were nearby and witnessed the incident.
While an investigation into the incident is still to come, Docobo said he feels all those involved in the incident should be held responsible for their actions—or their lack of actions. The video shows several people in the room at the time of the incident, and none of them came to Sterner’s aide.
“Certainly all the personnel are entitled to due process under the law, but I can tell you that based on what I saw, anything short of dismissal would be inappropriate,” said Docobo.”
Whether or not they actually follow up with a dismissal is yet to be seen. I’ll keep on top of this one.
