Road construction workers are facing felony assault and kidnapping charges after claiming they were the ones assaulted by a mystery driver. Even though the workers told the responding officers they believed the perpetrator was drunk, they let him drive away without a DUI investigation. It’s a secret case sealed by the courts, and authorities won’t say the name of that driver. As it turns out, the mystery driver was an off-duty police officer. Ten days after the incident, the workers were scheduled to have a TV news interview about the assault by the mystery off-duty cop. But instead, police officers arrested them prior to the interview.

The prosecutor in this county should be under investigation!

[badchuck]

Police pontificate on how dangerous their job is yet they bully men who do an actual dangerous job.

[Knight-fiml]

Sounds like a unconstitutional arrest. Really despicable.

[GeorgeJefferson]

Once again this just shows how utterly corrupt this country has become.

[thesoundtree]

It’s scary to think off-duty cops can run around and commit crimes with total immunity

[Solumnys]

How blatant can corruption be and still be ignored

[danielbeerman]

How is this possible? Wake up folks and stand your ground!!!

[TheOneandOnlyD-R-E]

Let me guess, they investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing 🙄

[bobhughes]

Earning hatred, fear, and mis-trust every single day.

[HermanWomble]

They are lying about no video, I work in the St. Louis area and know that location. There is traffic cameras on all 4 sides of that intersection that record 24/7.

[bobikdylan]

I believe they call it "Professional courtesy." In plain English that means corruption.

[Airborne-Arkansas]

The judge that was on the bench for this travesty should be brought before the bar. He’s involved of this blatant CRIME

[Iamnota-number]

They’re not even trying to cover it up, they’re just blatantly showing that they’re untouchable.

[daveblackman]

So just because the workers were about to speak out, they get bogus felony charges thrown at them? This is a way worse look for the department than just letting them speak!!

[benjamincarter]

Cops dont become psychopaths, psychopaths become cops

[corriearnold]

The Institute for Justice should get involved.

[XPd]

The thin blue line gang strikes again.

[tmmelendezcooahz]

The Thin Blue Line gang covering for the criminal actions of one of their own?

Must be a day ending in “Y” because I can’t even pretend to be shocked anymore.

Their "brothers before others" motto explains why the victims were thrown in jail, while their "brother" was not only protected, then allowed to flee, but also has his identity protected from the evil "others".
