Dashcam Video Saves man from 5 years of prison - police indicted

[edgitarra]

The tale of the police dashcam video has now helped clear a Bloomfield, New Jersey man who faced a multitude of criminal charges, including eluding police and assault.

It was quite a turnabout, all the criminal charges against Marcus Jeter have been dismissed, and two Bloomfield police officers have been indicted for falsifying reports, and one of them, for assault.

A third pleaded guilty early on to tampering. It's all thanks to those dashcam tapes. It's the video that prosecutors say they never saw when they pursued criminal charges against 30 year-old Marcus Jeter . In the video, his hands were in the air. He was charged with eluding police, resisting arrest and assault. One officer in the video can be seen throwing repeated punches.

Sarah Wallace: "It this tape hadn't surfaced?"
Marcus: "I'd be in jail."

That's scary. The police shouts "stop try to take my gun" in total berserker mode while Jeter is sitting in the car with his hands up, only trying to not give them any excuse to shoot or beat him. It could have ended like Kelly Thomas case.

The video didn't work anymore in the link but I found it from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIW9V6hYYOE

What is happening with these police lately? Talk about personality disintegration on an already psychopathic mindset. They are so blinded by their rage, and self importance that they cannot see the obvious. Or they figured they could suppress it?

These uniformed thugs think that being a cop gives them free rein to satiate their aggression and blood lust on innocent and unsuspecting individuals.
And, unfortunately, in most cases, they get away with it. If this case would have stopped at Internal Affairs, nothing would have happened to them.
It's good to see them charged, and hopefully convicted.
