Don't you think it's weird that cops get away with lying under oath?



The Allentown PD (Pennsylvania) is NOT well-liked in the african-american part of Allentown.

They were called into the area because some gun-man was reported to be running around.

9 police-cars, basically the whole night-shift, descend upon the community and start asking questions.

One guy talks smack, a police-officer freaks out and shoves him violently to the ground.

When the guy jumps up, about 10 police-officers descend on him for "assaulting police-officer."

They punch him and kneel him while colleagues form a human shield to prevent bystanders from seeing what is going on.

In court, the cops lie about what happened despite the video-footage showing what happened.

The shover even admitted that the defendant had not commited any crime when he shoved him to the ground.

The cops lied, the cops laughed at the defense-attorney and the defendant, the cops high-fived each other in court.



The defendant was found not guilty.



The police-officer who shoved the defendant to the ground will not be prosecuted for assault.

The police-officers who lied under oath will not be prosecuted for perjury.

To find out that there are one sets of laws for cops and a different set for civilians?

Cops live a life of us and them. If you are not a cop, you are them. They protect and serve themselves.
