We have a full page of people charged with crimes in our newspaper every single day [in a county of less than a quarter million]. Yet, I never see allegations of police abuse in that page. The few allegations that do make the paper are the result of blatant and frequent abuse by police usually involving coercive sexual advances. I know of several local people who have successfully sued the police for misconduct - yet none of these incidents made the newspaper. As long as the police can keep their pants zipped, they apparently can do no wrong here in Benton County Oregon.JT Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571868033521182864noreply@blogger.com
