[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3943005, member: 45773"] And I have news for some of you... Cops aren't the only ones that make s**t up. Pretty much anyone is capable of doing it whether they're a witness, a complainant, a suspect, etc... I got sued for $17M for excessive force in 2001. Kid got mad because I arrested him for DUI. He smacked his forehead against the cage in my car and put a 3 cm cut on his forehead. He claimed I caused the injury. In his complaint he initially said I slammed on the brakes and that caused him to hit his head. Well, the GPS data refuted that. Then he said it was his hand. No injury or bruising present on my hand which surely would've been there. Then he said it was my nightstick. Didn't carry one. Then he said it was my very large "police" flashlight. I carried a small, plastic Surefire light. Finally he changed his story to the butt of my gun. Then he hired an expert witness to testify that his injury was perfectly consistent with being struck with the butt of a gun, specifically a Glock. More specifically a Glock 19. He was certain of it. Except I carried a S&W 4006. Mom and dad were/are scumbags and convicted felons. Mom had a history of suing the county...unsuccessfully. I was cleared by an FBI investigation but still spent 7 days on trial in federal court in Denver. It took the jury less than15 mins to say there was no possible way I did what this kid claimed. The young man got a lesson in lying...$440,000 in legal and other costs. And that was just for my side. No telling what his ambulance-chasing lawyer soaked him for. I hope he's enjoying paying off that lifelong debt. So spare me the sob stories about how the mean, bad average cops are always lying, shooting people, planting evidence etc. Most cops, average cops, despise the bad ones for the same reasons the average gun owners hates the type of person that gives gun owners a bad name. These people were ready to basically ruin my life because their son was drunk and stupid. In my experience the average person lies to LE far more often than the average LEO lies to the average person. Not even close. [/QUOTE]
