So with the cops its the same old story we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong

So sociopaths who supervise other sociopaths find they don’t do sociopathic things.

Qualified Immunity is unconstitutional. With zero legal obligation to serve and protect while benefiting from tax funded salaries, pensions and qualified immunity we end up here. EMT or Paramedic certification should be a prerequisite before being eligible for police Academy.

Their disdain towards the public is uncontrollable, much like their Love for the public's tax $$.

In my opinion the DOJ looked at the wrong department! Mesa is super dirty

[kennardjohnson]

Of course they are lying, it's legal for police to lie.

Never met a cop who didn't loath narcan. The idea of someone suffering from drug addiction being able to recover from an OD just pisses them off for some reason.

Just when you think you can't possibly despise the police any more than you already do...

[silencerstudent]

Ive heard this glad the news picked up this craziness

My 5th grade nephew graded his own homework and got an A+

Testimony is evidence. Mesa full of crap! I’ve watched them almost hit a resident driving extremely fast through apartment complex for a teenager on bike and petty crime. Took 12 units, pulling rifles and all.

I'm continually amazed by how ignorant leo's are of the law. It is literally their job to know the law. It's like a carpenter who doesn't know how to use a hammer.

Taking Narcan from people is cartoonishly evil

[KushiteComplex]

Mesa PD; the home of the infamous Officer Philip Brailsford says it all.

[Sunstar]

This lady should record Mesa police confiscating it from her or someone else for evidence.

[blandis]

Mesa PD: We want our drug problem to die off, errr, go away.

[sunnyinaz]

If this is happening, they need to be fired. This is so mean hearted, if true, they do not have any business being in an authority position. Especially of the most vulnerable of citizens.

[ScarCaskt]

The police used to watch over the people. Now they're watching the people.

[bswogger]

Another example of refusing to allow people to stay safe, actually stopping.
Cop ran over a young female ending her life speeding to give “Narcan” deny/lie is their moto.

[michaelweinmann]

Mesa PD is arguably the dirtiest, most corrupt, and most ignorant police department in Arizona.

And that's saying a lot.
