Remember that it is not up to some corrupt government official to decide if government goon squad employees are to be held criminally accountable. It is up to you, the victim to make that decision. You are entitled to your day in court by maxim of law.
Governments have a clear agenda to absolve themselves and their employees from criminal accountability.
Police brutality and crimin More..ality kills more people than terrorism in North America, yet billions are spent on non existent threats while the real threats are permitted to escalate.
Menawhile, the frenzie of police criminality continues......

Police opened fire on an unarmed couple during a routine traffic stop late Tuesday night because one officer “thought he was shot,” a high-ranking Salinas Police Department official said Thursday.
“He saw what he perceived as a threat and thought he was shot, and based on that both officers discharged their firearms,” said Dino Bardoni, commander of investigations.
No one was hurt in the 11:24 p.m. incident at North Sanborn Road and Freedom Parkway, but the couple’s SUV was riddled with bullet holes and its rear window was shattered.
Police are releasing few details about the incident or case and have characterized it as a “priority investigation,” Bardoni said.
It’s the fourth officer-involved shooting in the city in the past seven months, two of which were fatal.
Interim Police Chief Daniel Ortega refused to discuss the most recent case, referring all questions to Bardoni.
Bardoni said the incident began when one officer stopped the vehicle because one of its license plate lights was not working. He was joined shortly thereafter by a second officer.
Bardoni said the primary officer was in the midst of contacting the vehicle’s occupants, a driver and passenger, when the problem began.
“He was walking up to them, nothing out of the ordinary,” Bardoni said, when there was the perception of a threat and the officer thought he’d been shot.
Police later determined that the couple was unarmed.

They are oh so fucking fortunate that they did not do this to my parents or relatives or friends, and that no one was hurt. Because if it did, right this very second I would be out pig hunting instead of typing this.
