San Jose Police Lose Control and become JUST ANOTHER MOB

COPS AND THE USE OF FORCE...HUNDREDS OF ROUTINE ENCOUNTERS WITH S.J. POLICE EACH YR ESCALATE INTO VIOLENCE AND TRIGGER RESISTING ARREST CHARGES.
Scott Wright was fixing the emergency brake on an old Cadillac in a parking lot near Willow Glen last year when the S.J police rolled up, within minutes, he had been shot with a taser and beaten with batons, breaking his arm. The cause of the trouble? Wright reached into his van to wash his greasy hands. Police said they feared he was going for a weapon, but no weapon was found. Wright was charged with resisting arrest, but the DA dismissed the case before it got to trial. What happened to Wright is no isolated event. Hundreds of times a year interactions between S.J. police and residents where no serious crime has occurred escalate into violence. Many times the reason for the encounter is as innocuous as jaywalking, missing bike head lamps, or failing to signal a turn. But often, as the incidents develop, police determine the suspect is uncooperative and potentially violent and strike the first blow. While many of those incidents raise questions about whether the police response was excessive, the department almost always dismisses such complaints about its behavior and limits public scrutiny of the cases, moves that tend to heighten distrust of the dept, particularly in minority communities. In recent months the Mercury News has reviewed 206 court cases in which the most serious charge against the defendant was a violation of calif penal code section 148, the misdemeanor crime of resisting arrest or delaying or obstructing a police officer. Of those, 145, 70 percent of the cases involved the use of force by officers. The review was launched following the April disclosure by the newspaper that San Jose charges far more people with resisting arrest, compared with its population, than any other major California City, and that a disproportionate number of those charged are Latino residents. State and County statistics show San Jose Police charge people with resisting arrest, as the primary charge, 3 times a day on average.

I find it amazing that 1386 people can intimidate 997,000 people in one city.That one DA can protect cops and falsify evidence on 3300 molestation cases, have the Assistant DA Disbarred, and tell the Superior Court she'll get them for overturning a false conviction.Well the AG of CA. is watching her closely and isn't done yet.

Chief Davis, cop code: "We need to take a look at it."

Plain meaning: let the cover up begin.

He does not belong to the dept., He does not belong to the city, he has spent his career carefully walking the fence and being pleasant. He is a politician and a good one. He is looking to on and up so forget about him. He's just slick if that's what he wants to be to people. He has made himself irrelevant.
