Kindness of Strangers Redux

Rachelle Jackson, a southside Chicago woman, won $7.9 million dollars in her federal civil rights claim.
Looks like the kindness of strangers paid off. It almost didn't.

Cops are special. Even unconscious after a crash, they know exactly what's going on around them.

"Rachelle went to the police station to be a witness.
"Once [she was]there, officers subjected Rachelle to over fifty hours of coercive and abusive interrogation, without access to a bathroom."
Two days and nights, uninterrupted. I don't think even the guys in Guantanamo Bay get that.
You don't survive in the big city by trusting people, even the ones who save your life, whom you're sworn to protect and serve. Ha.

"Civil rights well be protected in Chicago."

Yep. Every time we GET CAUGHT.

In view of this, wouldn't it be proper to now charge Kelly Brogan with perjury?

What do we learn from this?

If you see a LEO about to burn up along with their car, grab some popcorn and cocoa.

Does anyone remember the "Hellfire" trigger device? Back then the ATF issued a letter ruling that is was not a "machine gun" for the purposes of the NFA.
