The cases of the bicyclist & the 6 imans were pretty reprehensible.
There was a 3rd case involving Wingate reported by someone who appeared to be a complete nut job. Might have been Aaron James.

I don't know about the other case, but Orsak?! A jury convicted him, he lost his appeal, and apparently no lawyer would touch his civil suit. Still, you find the police conduct in his case reprehensible?

Absolutely. Wingate ought to be bounced out on the street on his head.

Which leaves count III (failure to comply with a lawful order) in a situation where there was no need for any order since he wasn't breaking any traffic laws. Rots of ruck on appeal.
The cops & prosecutor are up the their eyebrows in egg yolk. It a shame to see our tax moneys wasted in this manner, yet they're too arrogant and blind to see the light.

Well, MikeMpls, you no longer seem interested in the Orsak case, and I can't blame you. Sometimes it's best to cut your losses.
