Innocent pedestrian attacked by police, framed with charges, imprisoned for 15 months

DALLAS, TX -- An innocent pedestrian was attacked by police, beaten up on camera, framed with 2 felonies, and then sat in jail for 15 months. He was finally exonerated when the dash-cam video showed that everything the police had claimed was a lie. That officer blatantly attempted to ruin a man's life but was never charged with a crime.

Ronald B. Jones, age 62, was walking down the street on December 18, 2009, when his life was changed forever as he was singled out by a ruthless predator employed by the Dallas Police Department."

To be perfectly honest I don't own a gun but I am more afraid than cops than criminals.

If the officers who took this action would be locked up themselves. I would be far more thrilled if these officers had to pay that million dollars to this man out of their own pockets. I would be far more thrilled if it hadn't taken fifteen months for the truth to come out.

Justice is not merely the payment of cash. It is seeing that the events never happen again. Instead, we will see them happen again, and again, and again.
