This just really made my blood boil. How the deputies are taunting this kid with saying stupid shit like “Can we put him down?” “How much for the doggy in the window?” constant taunts about going in a restraint chair. Not only did these braindead idiots taunt and abuse a very vulnerable 19 year old they attempted to keep it hidden for nearly 2 years by not releasing any documents or videos relating to this matter. Below is the contact information for the Washington Township’s administration in Montgomery County, Ohio that is 100% responsible for overseeing every one of their brain dead deputies.

Well I’d prefer if we didn’t burn it all down. That sounds like a lot of death followed by an actual dictator. The US constitution is very powerful and is a great tool for justice.
I think the topic you are looking for is qualified immunity. Most people think it covers police all the time but in reality it only applies to reasonable human errors. There was a court case years ago where a identity twin committed a series of crimes in his brothers name. The innocent brother was arrested and then later tried to sue. The lawsuit wasn’t successful since the police had no way of knowing they had the wrong guy. He was released once they figured it all out and all was good for the most part.
On the other side of the coin, sometimes police can be held liable for negligence if they screw up in a way that isn’t considered reasonable. There was a court case where a women was arrested after getting off a boat and detained for prolonged period of time. The person that was suppost to be arrested was in a totally different state and the officers involved all refused to check the victims ID. She looked nothing like the suspect and was arrested because of some unknown reason. In that case there was grounds for liability because a reasonable person would’ve checked the woman’s ID. I think at the time they just assumed that she had a fake ID even though there was no evidence to support that.
