I’m reading todays news rag and spot this title to a story: St. Louis suburb settles ‘debtors’ prison’ lawsuit and of course I have to take a look.
Now you would think St. Louis would do everything possible to gain public acceptance of their law enforcement agencies. But it seems that they chose instead to make Law Enforcement and the Courts look like major criminals. This does not just reflect on St Louis, the impact of this will impact all of Law Enforcement for years to come. The fact that they would even consider doing such as they have when there is such a negative opinion about Law Enforcement nation-wide is ridiculous.
The fact that they would do as they have done is indicative of criminal conduct and every admin, supervisory, and/or other senior position in their cities should be tried as criminals for their actions. No police officer is required to violate the law based on stupid directive from their Administration. And, every officer should of seen what they were doing was unlawful and taken steps to stop it,
The Departments involved in this situation are an embarrassment to Law Enforcement nation-wide. I cannot believe that serious charges are not being made against the departments administration asking for their heads.
Read the story yourself. It is guaranteed to piss you off.
