DEA Agents Wrongly Jailed Student for 5 Days Without Food or Water Until He Had to Drink Own Urine; Nobody Fired

If you have a criminal mind, the best place to look for employment is within a Federal agency

Two years ago, I highlighted the case of Daniel Chong, a California student who was thrown in a holding cell and forgotten about for 5 days without food or water. His situation became so desperate, he was forced to drink his own urine in order to survive. The post was titled, Student Forgotten in California Jail Cell by the DEA for 5 Days Without Food or Water. Here’s an excerpt:

While a cash payout should be part of any sort of justice for Daniel, I wonder if any of the individuals responsible for this will be held accountable? That to me is the key point. Just as bankers simply pay a fine for egregious crimes that represent only a small part of their profit from the activity (but almost never face criminal charges), so too it seems the police and government bureaucrats almost never face serious repercussions for any their actions, no matter how heinous or unconstitutional.

Well wonder no more. The jury is out, and all the DEA agents involved received a slap on the wrist. A few days of suspension without pay, but nobody fired. From the LA Times:

I have a big, big problem with this., and you should too.

It is one of the exact reasons this country is in the pitiful shape it's in today. We must demand equal justice under equally blanketed laws (something that is conspicuously lacking and blindingly obvious today) if we are ever to regain America.

We all know ginn is a cop hater.

I don't believe any of this and I think it is another way for the media to incite a riot like they did in Baltimore. This is Obama and the Democrats plan to enforce Martial Law.
