  • DesertDad, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2This story has yet to receive any coverage from the mainline media. Apparently it doesn't fit their mold of police officers going after alleged criminals. They only report police abuse if there is an American police officer involved, and usually only if the victim is a member of a minority in America.

    Hopefully this will be more fully reported, as many may need to be aware. It will be instructive as to whether the prosecutor and his family are in danger for placing the officers under arrest.
