Comments on: Use of Force And Ombudsman Complaints https://boiseguardian.com/2014/12/04/use-of-force-and-ombudsman-complaints/ A different slant on the news. Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:30:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Steve+Crea https://boiseguardian.com/2014/12/04/use-of-force-and-ombudsman-complaints/#comment-98694 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:30:10 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=11438#comment-98694 The ombudsman is not independent, in any substantive manner.

Further, the local prosecutor never, ever, ever, finds probable cause to indict a popo.

There is a structural problem here. The vast immunities bestowed on coppers and prosecutors has led to a reprehensible lack of accountability that must be changed.

We as a people are learning that complaining to those who are in control very rarely accomplishes anything. It is like a prisoner in Auschwitz asking a guard to investigate another guard…. its just not gonna happen.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people like me in the valley… and as a result our taxes are low, our crime is low, our CPI is low (except gas and groceries), our police and public officials are responsive! The overall quality of life is high.

Just in case anyone thought otherwise, I like it here. Keep up the good work people! And as always, resist the evil temptation of failed liberal ideals… they are only successful in National Geographic and New Yorker articles.

All that said, we need a non-cop and non-anti-cop ombudsman NOW! TeamDave Please pull head out and appoint and appropriate person.
