    “The claim was that she pulled seven grams of cocaine laced in fentanyl out of his pocket and a gun, so that’s what they charged him with,” Maxwell said. “Once the video came out, all of a sudden, those charges get dismissed because the video clearly doesn’t show her pulling any drugs out of his pants.”

    This is why no one trust these fuck stains. I don’t understand how cop testimony continues to be held up like a bastion of truth when we have numerous examples of them pulling shit like this just because someone had the gall to question their authority or injure their ego.

      It’s insane that “Brady lists” are considered the better remedy than just removing the offending officers from police work entirely (as well as charging them with some kind of perversion of duty).

      Police officers who have been dishonest are sometimes referred to as “Brady cops”. Because of the Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys whenever a law enforcement official involved in their case has a confirmed record of knowingly lying in an official capacity. This requirement has been understood by lawyers and jurists as requiring prosecutors to maintain lists, known as Brady lists, of police officers who are not credible witnesses and whose involvement in a case undermines a prosecution’s integrity.

      We don’t just make lists of doctors that intentionally harm their patients, arsonist firefighters, chefs that poison etc. – they are barred from the profession once discovered. But cops (and priests) get to keep doing their thing and at most just get moved around.

        That list should be public because it is within the public interest to know who these dangerous cops are.

            It would make you a target for law enforcement because you know, you shouldn’t stand out when it comes to them.

        Of course, there’s no requirement to notify the people previously convicted using testimony from the crooked cop.

        Not only are they barred from their profession, they usually go to prison.

      Never believe a police statement. It is lies 100% of the time.

    The officer was not named but an arrest affidavit obtained by ABC News identifies her as Dana Elmore.
