Wow, all individuals that fabricated and flat out lied on the police reports deserve to face the penalty. Multiple witnesses falsifying information out of spite. This could have put that innocent process server in prison if he wouldn't have videoed the encounter. What the lawyer says at the end of the video is exactly right, what would have happened if he hadn't videoed this encounter? Too many people who are supposed to be upholding justice and the law were caught blatently lying, makes me sick.

It would have went beyond just some prison time. The man's whole life would have been ruined. Try finding decent sustainable employment fresh out of prison. His gun rights would be non-existent. All because of a disgruntled police officer who was being summoned for a police brutality case by the way.

The system needs bucking,and alot of it. It won't be easy, especially since some states are pushing for legislation that would make it a crime to video officers in the line of duty.

 

[enutees]

All the people who wrote statements lying should be arrested. Period.

Absolutely. Needs to run from Boagalusa like his ass is on fire and his hair is catching.

Those lying on sworn statements should be fired and arrested and prosecuted. If you or I lied on sworn statements we should expect the same.

Just wow, makes one wonder how many times this has happened and there was no video to protect an innocent.

wow you aren't kidding! It's depressing that this stuff happens and it's being done by the people in authority.

Did I read the prosecutors were St. Tammany?!

 

[sliguns]

I'm not opposed to removing the bar licenses from the 2 prosecutors. Flat out lying should be never be tolerated especially when the life of a man hangs in the balance.

 

[mr.z28]

if you signed a statement that was found to be false you need to go to jail. that dude is gonna get paid big time.

What I don't understand is why the police officers went after Dendinger to begin with. He's just serving the papers. Why get so angry and worked up that several people would fabricate charges and arrest the guy? I think the video claimed Dendinger is related to the plaintiff in the summons case and possibly the officers wanted to intimidate that person by going after Dendinger. I'm with everyone else here, all who lied and tried to ruin this man should be prosecuted. I also think police officers and prosecutors should be penalized harsher when they use their positions in ways like this. i wonder if this opens a door for anyone who was ever put away with testimony from these individuals to re-open their case?

Maybe, they (those who swore out untrue statements) should face at least the maximum punishment they tried to perpetrate on the citizen? If any civil penalties are imposed, I would hope they are paid by the law breakers, not the tax payers.

This has opened the door to a crap storm in Washington parish. There have been more request for public records forms filed in the last week than in the last year. It's gonna get ugly.

GOOD!!!

GOOD!!!

Not good if you have a lot of scumbags and their attorneys now gearing up for appeals. Think of all the good, solid cases these folks were involved with that can be called into question because of one (alleged) stupid act.

this is not "one alleged stupid act"...it's not alleged at all correct? This is documented through video & paper documentation. Isn't it?

But I can see the concern that this might open a hole for actual criminals to get off with their wrongdoings. it's the nature of the beast it seems. the line of 'better 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man be jailed' is the line that must be walked I suppose.

Ultimately, I do not believe just b/c "all the good, solid cases these folks were involved with that can be called into question" is enough of a reason to let this act slide by ANY means (if that is what you were implying, if not I apologize). The people involved should be held accountable to the highest degree possible.

Same as the dirtbags, they should have thought about that before engaging in these unlawful actions! It is much more difficult for politicians to hide their corruption these days. They are just going to have to pay the piper like anyone else caught breaking the law.
