NORMAL? Normal Police get some more negative national publicity over vexatious and malicious ‘Clear and Present Danger’ report

Leave it to Normal, IL police to get a bevy of additional bad publicity over stunts they’ve pulled.  Remember the guy stabbed 19 times in his OWN front yard and then arrested by the boys in blue with Normal PD?

Yeah, it happened.  We covered it.  Read all about it.

Remember the ISU coed attacked and dogpiled by a bunch of downright asshole cops as they illegally seized her phone?

We covered that one.

So too did some audit channels.  Audit the Audit covered it and that story of theirs has 1.5 Million views.  Nice job Normal PD.

Well, this one might take the cake.

They filed a vexatious and malicious “Clear and Present Danger” report against a man who did nothing wrong.  In the report, they claimed the man was arrested for a felony for criminal misuse of his gun.  Problem is Normal PD gave him his gun back during the incident and released him.  He was never really even in custody.

They lied (misstated is too mild) about the nature of the call.

And then they wouldn’t take it back.

So the man sued the bastards.

And a federal court judge just ruled that the two cops and the Town of Normal don’t have any Qualified Immunity because of the exceptional nature of their wrongful acts depriving the man of his civil rights under the color of authority.

Yeah, the Town of Normal is going to be writing a VERY substantial check to the man – hopefully he doesn’t accept less than 7 figures.  And frankly, I’m cheering for that much from the two officers – the officer jackwagon who wrote the report and his supervisor who signed off on it.

Stupid should hurt.  And it should be expensive.

Here’s William Kirk on it.
