Tag: copChandler Brown was illegally detained, then arrested for taking a photo of a cop and then had his photo deleted and his only concern is that the cop was chatting on Facebook?
I hope not, but that is how it appears in the news story, which states that Brown has made “startling accusations” about Atlanta Police Officer Eric Coleman being on Facebook while on-duty.
Judging by the number of people who post status updates on Facebook throughout the day, I doubt Coleman is the only person surfing the site on the clock.
Or maybe my friends are just slackers at work.
It all started last Thanksgiving when Brown received a call from his friend who had been in a car accident. Brown pulled up in a cab and his friend wanted to leave the scene of the accident, so they both got into the cab before the officer told his friend he could not leave.
The latest contempt of cop arrest story that is sweeping the nation not only proves that some officers are power-drunk assholes – as if that needed to be affirmed - it highlights the ineptness and ineffectiveness of internal affairs investigations.
The cop in question is Atlanta Police Officer Brandy Dolson, who has had 18 complaints filed against him since 2001 with only three of them sustained. Another three are still pending, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
One of those pending complaints stems from an incident where he arrested a 61-year-old woman last March for asking “why” after he ordered her to move from the sidewalk she was standing on with three other women.
They were discussing funeral plans for a deceased friend when Dolson told them to “move it.”
