Driver files excessive use of force civil suit against 3 Hamilton County deputies

Never found criminal wrongdoing in any investigation she’s done on police…no wonder they keep using her.

This happened about 20 minutes from me:
governmentabuse.info

Police knock, announce their presence, and break down the door of John Hirko, a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania resident. Officers report tossing a flashbang grenade “within a few seconds” of knocking, according to the Allentown Morning Call, not giving Hirko time to come to the door.

After shooting Hirko 11 times, mostly in the back, a SWAT officer throws a second flashbang in Hirko’s direction. The second flashbang set fire to Hirko’s house and burns his body beyond recognition.

In a lawsuit filed by Hirko’s estate against the city and police, experts testified that the disorienting effects of the grenade and its deployment in such close proximity to the alleged announcement, along with the lack of clear police insignia on the black, military-style uniforms, would make most anyone unable to determine whether they were being invaded by police or unlawful intruders.

In 2004, a federal jury found the SWAT team guilty of violating Hirko’s civil rights. The city of Bethlehem settled with Hirko’s estate for $8 million.

Nobody has done any time, or faced charges. There was a sizeable civil verdict, but there were no criminal charges. Lets just say the police around here inspire more fear in innocent people than they do in criminals.

What the above article leaves out is there isn’t a single non-policeman who corroborates the claim that they announced themselves before entering, including dozens of neighbors who lived on the same floor.

This is what total police corruption looks like. It’s not fun.
