How Liberals "Shut Us Down"

Sgt. Chris Edmundson, a decorated police officer in the Raton, New Mexico police department, has been charged with manslaughter, even though his actions did not contribute to the death of a man in custody, one who was a member of a powerful Hispanic family there. The subject was "out of his mind” on dope, which killed him. Using a Taser on him had nothing to do with his death, and, in fact, didn’t even phase him. This powerful family “leaned on” somebody to get these charges filed, and even threatened witnesses that might have helped Edmondson. Even if he wins, he will be financially ruined. This “puts the fear of God” into police officers all over the country, making them “think twice” before doing what is necessary to subdue a man who is “crazy dangerous” on dope. That “second thought” might mean the death of a cop or one of his colleagues. (Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund)
