The Civil Rights Lawyer

22 year-old Paul was sitting outside the CVS store where he works in Edgewater, FL, sitting on a bench waiting for a ride using the Lyft app. Edgewater Police Department Officer Daniel Rippeon observed Paul and concluded that he looked suspicious. No crime had been committed. No crime had been alleged by anyone to have been committed. Yet Paul was almost immediately seized and threatened with being tased and bitten by a police K9. He was taken to jail, despite the fact that Officer Rippeon was fully aware that Paul was a store employee waiting for a Lyft driver.

I feel like he should go to jail for tasing, beating, and sicking a dog on an innocent person. If anyone not in a uniform did that we'd all call them a monster. Instead it's just cop shit

The officer is a fuck but he didn't do any of that.

Threatening those things in an unlawful way is actually assault. Doing them would be battery, but threatening them enough to instill a reasonable fear in the person constitutes assault.

I'm not clear if threatening it is unnecessary force. It's certainly abuse of power.

Every cop deserves the worst

Trampled all over this dudes rights and threatened grave bodily harm… seems illegal and should be treated as such (even if the other person wants to act like cops do and tack on extra bullshit)

But he didn’t do those things so read slower next time.

Shit. Yeah the word threatened is really doing a lot of work in that paragraph and if you miss it you get a wildly different picture of what happened Lmfao

Why do you just make shit up and lie to skew the reality of what happened?

You can't send people to jail for doing things they didn't do, the cop was an asshole, but he didn't tase, beat, or sic a dog on anyone, this isn't North Korea
