1,806 people were arrested in New York during the Republican Convention. It is now clear that the police were simply harassing people to limit their freedom of speech. Video tape evidence has exonerated over 400 people, often showing evidence in direct contradiction to police lies.
Of the 1,670 cases that have run their full course, 91 percent ended with the charges dismissed or with a verdict of not guilty after trial.
In one especially disturbing case, the video tape presented by the prosecution was edited to cut out those scenes contradicting police testimony. Supposedly it was a “mistake.” How convienent.
Talk Left has more.
