The mayor of Elyria has ordered a probe after the woman who lives at the home accused police of raiding the wrong house, an incident that she said left her baby with severe burns.
The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has ordered an investigation after a woman alleged that police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash-bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.
Police have offered a conflicting account of what happened Jan. 10, saying in a statement Friday that they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and the child did not “sustain any apparent, visible injuries.”
Courtney Price says audio from her Ring camera proves them wrong. In a clip shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, someone can be heard saying “it’s the wrong house.” It is not clear who made the remark because the camera fell to the ground and went dark after police deployed the flash-bang devices.
cops are paid liars. they are legally allowed to, and encouraged to lie. they work closely with district attorneys, who would be the ones to prosecute them if they lie. that is why you can never trust a police officer.
sorry guys, it is the nature of your shitty job.
A cop would pretty much never be prosecuted for lying, it’s perfectly legal in the US for them to lie their asses off to witnesses and suspects alike. Part of the reason we have a such a problem with innocent people being imprisoned over false confessions.
Yeah, because nobody notable has realized American cops as organizations were founded to be slaver patrols and if you were white and tried to protect their targets they would KILL you. I’m not saying my own country is perfect, but when the corruption rate among American police is claimed to be 98% and the corruption rate of the RCMP (yes, the Mounties) is claimed to be 0.02%? I’m literally waiting to defend myself in court and I will at least say the cops involved were fair. You know who originally the RCMP was founded by? They’re an offshoot of the UK’s royal bodyguards, the beefeaters, and as silly as that might sound, somehow it works.
Canada has a relatively shitty mental health system but seriously, at least there’s a way to sue, convict or discredit corrupt doctors. Cops can’t be allowed to be corrupt, this is only going to be solvable if there’s a unified and violent citizen’s revolt. Go out there and pretend to be peaceful, then murder all the cops with extreme prejudice and without waiting for direct provocation when they show up and anyone who survives continues to kill police on sight until the fucking US Government gets it through their fucking heads that when the “police” are a criminal syndicate and former slaver you get fucking anarchy, a “system” of “government” that I am under no delusion is capable of producing anything of value. The government doesn’t want anarchy? Stop fucking oppressing people and the people won’t need to threaten you to get you to be a tolerable person. Being legal and rational means nothing if the system is rigged against justice.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to try and get a judge to begin an investigation into an entire psychiatric ward as well as an unrelated ex-psychiatrist, because thanks to years of malpractice my life is irrecoverably ruined and I fucking hate everyone.
The RCMP has its own history of suppressing and murdering indigenous people. Colonialism, apartheid and genocide are some of the main reasons the RCMP exist.
That said, I agree that the RCMP are much better on virtually every measurable metric, as is policing in Canada in general.
