Fresno Superior Court Calls Sheriff Liar
Today’s Fresno Bee headline — the paper version screamed “Sheriff’s Office under fire” on the front page above the fold — would have been funnier if it were about the Fresno Police Department. They’re the ones who are always shooting citizens.
At any rate, it’s about time the Fresno Superior Court recognized that the Sheriff’s Department is not above lying. I wonder if this will carry over to greater recognition of prevarication in the courtroom by individual officers? (Hahaha! Sometimes I make myself laugh!)
A Police Officer’s Word; A Juror’s Job
If past experience with some of the readers of this blog is any indication, many will not understand the point of this post. In addition to the prejudices favoring police officers, the point of this post is both simple and complicated. My fear is that the simplicity of the main point will swamp the complexity of what I’m really trying to get to.
Nevertheless, I’m going to put it up anyway, in the hopes that some visitors here are able to properly parse sentences and will get the point.
I’m not going to give my usual disclaimer, either.
