One Year Ago Today




It was one year ago today the SPD apprehended this gentleman for spitting in a parking lot. Because the Officers Radio kept breaking up, the SPD thought the Officer was in trouble so they came in from everywhere to back one of their own up.

The Judge dropped the case just a few short weeks ago during a Jury Trial.

    He spit on the officer Joe. That's why he was arrested.

    That's an out and out LIE!

    He did NOT spit ON the Officer and as a matter of fact, at trial the Officer even admitted that he didn't know if he allegedly spit on the car or not. The Judge wasn't buying ANY of it and dropped the case completely.

    I know the above comment came from a Police Officer and with all due respect, you guys do a great job every single day but sometimes we ALL have bad days and this was one of them.

    Also notice, (and I have quite a few photos) that this guy was NEVER brought to the ground. He didn't resist and if he did he would have been brought down to the ground. There were several Officers against one. please don't tell me you couldn't have brought him to the ground?

    I should add, the Officer was in the the car when the perp allegedly spit on the ground, allegedly towards the car. He couldn't have spit ON the Officer. Again, I was in the Court Room and not once did the Officer say he spit at him or on him.

    He did not spit on the officer. The police jumped the gun. The Judge did the proper thing, without pointing the finger at undertrained, underpaid, under educated and over zealous police officers. Probably not a bad civil suit. I was in the courtroom that day too. Glad I am not African American and live in Salisbury
