The Day Ferguson Cops Were Caught in a Bloody Lie

[n2doc]

Police in Ferguson, Missouri, once actually charged a man with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms while four of them allegedly beat him.

“On and/or about the 20th day of Sept. 20, 2009 at or near 222 S. Florissant within the corporate limits of Ferguson, Missouri, the above named defendant did then and there unlawfully commit the offense of ‘property damage’ to wit did transfer blood to the uniform,” reads the charge sheet.

The address is the headquarters of the Ferguson Police Department, where a 52-year-old welder named Henry Davis was taken in the pre-dawn hours on that date. He had been arrested for an outstanding warrant that proved to actually be for another man of the same surname, but a different middle name and Social Security number.

“I said, ‘I told you guys it wasn’t me,’” Davis would subsequently testify.

Davis would recall the booking officer saying, “We have a problem.”

1. Cops need to be brought under control, the profession has become a haven for bullies,

sociopaths and those bent on harming others, and sadly, the profession as police gives to them a license to practice their sport. R, I, D, left, right, moderates should be concerned about this ... it can affect anyone.

... in real life it horrifies.
