A Pennsylvania jury acquitted a man charged with resisting arrest.

Then the judge absolutely lit into the police, slamming their violent arrest, their ugliness to his neighbors, and their demeanor at the trial, and straight accused them of perjury.

Not to mention some very choice words for the DA’s office for deciding to prosecute. This whole thing is just outstanding.

Twitter’s 280 character limit is great because you can fit some of judge Dantos’ most brutal slams of the Allentown police and their arrest/conduct at trial in a single tweet. 👉🏻

This is just staggeringly awful. A basic traffic stop ended with a police officer tasing a man 11 times, the 11th by pulling down his shorts and tasing him in the testicles. His children saw the entire thing. Wanton, sadistic stuff. And there's more. kshb.com/news/national/… /1

First, a lot of good reporting on this issue has been done by @sacbee_news' @StantonSam, so I'd check him out. (2) sacbee.com/news/state/cal…
To oversimplify Golding's report, he makes at least three major accusations against CA corrections department.

First: A lot of deceptive methods that add up to the department grossly overstating its data on things like timely patient care. E.g., (3) rbgg.sharefile.com/share/view/s88…
