Four years ago cops from the King’s County Sheriff’s Office and the state Department of Corrections (DOC) in Washington busted into the home of Dustin Theoharis and shot the unarmed man 16 times as he lay in bed. Theoharis had at least a dozen surgeries but survived. He sued the county, settling for $3 million, and has also sued the DOC.
Both the county and the department have ruled the shootings justified, despite the lack of a firearm and the fact that the two cops shot a man 16 times as he lay in bed. Earlier this month a judge ruled Theoharis’ excessive force lawsuit against the DOC could move forward, citing the cops’ questionable testimony (they didn’t provide a statement for weeks after the shooting).
But that’s not enough for county prosecutors, who when they declined three years ago to charge the two officers, in part because they said the officers wouldn’t give them statements, said they would review the decision if new information came out. Via The Seattle Times:

incompetent cops run wild or just plain militarized drones acting like they can do anything they want. all of this is the fault of the Obongo administration and the WHORES at the DHS, FBI, CIA. there all bad agencies acting under illegal and unconstitutional bad orders from the dirt bag islamic pig in the white house.
This criminality occurs because it’s what those in power want. That is why the purveyors of state sponsored violence are NEVER held accountable. The system is not designed nor intended to provide justice or accountability. Anyone who seeks justice in regard to the acts of politicians and/or their hired enforcers must seek it OUSIDE the legal system. The legal system is not designed or intended to mete justice. It is just another perverted tool of the corrupt people in positions of power and authority. The guilt or innocence of those victimized by this system is totally irrelevant., it’s the process, the agenda it serves that matters.
