Even when there's a damn video of the assault, even when the sheer fact that the officer was convicted of lying about what happened PROVES it was an assault, he still gets acquitted.
Still, at least he didn't get away with it. And I'm still actually surprised and pleased that he was charged at all. Usually the only option citizens have that have been attacked by the police unlawfully is to simply sue. So guess who really gets punished for police brutality? That would be the taxpayer.
