"Police in Ferguson, Missouri, once charged a man with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms while four of them allegedly beat him.
“On and/or about the 20th day of Sept. 20, 2009 at or near 222 S. Florissant within the corporate limits of Ferguson, Missouri, the above named defendant did then and there unlawfully commit the offense of ‘property damage’ to wit did transfer blood to the uniform,” reads the charge sheet.
The address is the headquarters of the Ferguson Police Department, where a 52-year-old welder named Henry Davis was taken in the predawn hours on that date. He had been arrested for an outstanding warrant that proved to actually be for another man of the same surname, but a different middle name and Social Security number."

The cops got torn apart in court by the lawyer of the guy tho, he got the charges dropped.
But sadly the charges against the cops got dropped as well.

Well I guess I meant that charge got torn apart and was dropped rather easily.
You are correct tho that the cops still didn't pay for what they did and that is entirely unacceptable

Right now the people in Ferguson are speaking loudly about a bigger issue than some punk who got shot, that was just the catylist IMHO.

How do you figure??? Because he got the charges dropped??? You mean the charge of "Property Damage" for bleeding on them while the beat the sh*t out of him while he was in custody??? Plus the fact that the had the wrong guy to start with and he was innocent. Then the cops lied in court about those charges too.
Yeah, that's really getting torn apart in court. I'm sure they felt real bad inside while they were laughing all the way back to the station afterwards.
They arrested the wrong guy.
Beat the hell out of him putting him the hospital.
Then charge him with bleeding on them. (That is after they found out they had the wrong guy of course)
Then Lie about the charge of him bleeding on him in court, meaning they should be held for perjury.
Nothing at all is done to the cops for this....
