I suspect there will be some more chapters to this story. It sounds like there's at least two investigations going on over this even if the public defender doesn't sue.

NAACP locals and Amos Brown. this story will be quietly put to rest by the local press since it doesn't involve east bay cops and race relations. Look for background stories about the involved cop's dedication to his community. maybe he'll save some puppies. I know, I'c cynical but the past 20 years occaisional personal non-criminal involvement with SF's ...uh... "finest" has been a positive experience.

Just saying.

They think they are above the law, not subject to it, just like everyone else. They cultivate and encourage a siege mentality to justify their disproportionately savage reactions to even minor offenses. The only people they "protect and serve" are the ruling elite. There are good, dedicated police, my stepson is one, but they are far outnumbered by those who should never have been given a badge or a gun in the first place. They threaten, intimidate, and often murder, anyone who asserts their constitutional rights.
Ms. Tillotson's arrest was blatantly illegal, but, as is always the case, others will lie to defend one of their own, and no one will be held responsible for this outrageous travesty of justice.
I hope she sues their evil asses. Given the hundreds of millions of dollars that settlements cost municipalities annually, you'd think city governments would smarten up and rein in or weed out the psychotic thugs on their police forces.

What many people don't realize is that those psychotic thugs are there to protect the rich and powerful from the poor when the day
arrives and the masses rise up in revolt.
