Back in 2009, Cpl. Steven Dickey sued Gannett Co. and Deeson, saying the reporter selectively edited video to make it appear the officer was laughing at quadriplegic jail inmate Brian Sterner when he was dumped from a wheelchair.

"Hillsborough Sheriff's Office, which temporarily suspended contact with the entire [TV] station in Sept. 2009 over objections about stories he reported..."

NOW is the time when all the complicit media need to decide to either play nice with the police and continue to get the daily press-release, doctored police blotter for the six o'clock news, or tell the whole ugly truth as they like to say is their self-appointed mission and win back the trust of the people.
