In yet another federal civil rights lawsuit, the American taxpayer will likely foot the bill for the unconscionable actions of a few uneducated and unscrupulous police officers. This time, the police officer decided to arrest his ex-wife for "criminal defamation" of character, for
Facebook posts she made which he, obviously, didn't like.
The only problem is that criminal defamation was ruled unconstitutional in Georgia over 30 years ago! Worse yet, court papers reveal an earlier accusation that Officer Corey King used his badge to coerce his ex-wife into having post-divorce sex with him in order to keep her out of jail!
The
lawsuit was filed on the 19
th of January, 2017. Anne King is suing her ex-husband, Officer King, and fellow officer and investigator Trey Burgamy for violating her first and fourth amendment rights to free speech and unreasonable search, seizure, and arrest, as well as malicious prosecution, false arrest, and civil conspiracy. She's suing both men, who are Washington County, Georgia police officers, for an unspecified amount of money to be determined by the court.
The lawsuit is set to be settled Thursday, March 8, 2018.
Comment: "What single thing would you change to improve gender equality where you are?" That is a very difficult question to answer in a crazy world that is no longer sure about what is a man and what is a woman. One thing is certain: men and women are not something people choose to be. Gender is biologically determined before birth - not something that society 'constructed' as postmodernists would like to think.
