SDPD -- Got An Attitude?
Vega made one major mistake in this incident. When the cop threatened to take him to jail, he should have said “100 witnesses to 1, I'll take my chance with the judge in the morning. Let's go to jail. The hospital bill will be on your dime. Your bosses will LOVE it. By the way, I'll need the contact info for that man because I plan to sue him in civil court. I will also need a copy of your reports.” Even though the second cop had a similar attitude, when he passed it off to a detective, he was actually acting appropriately, because the aggravated battery (a felony, by the way) occurred without a report being filed. It should go to a detective. The would-be arresting officer clearly broke from procedure, possibly creating a second civil suit, due to delayed emergency response. I have always believed that we all have a civic duty to uphold our civil rights. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. SDPD needs to be more careful- I plan to attend the next Critical Mass.— December 8, 2008 2:05 p.m.
