LYING by police officers is done in EVERY
court in the U.S. on a DAILY basis.

All jurors needs to UNDERSTAND THIS — Jurors
tend to THINK that police officers don’t lie and, because of this, they are
letting their fellow citizens be QUASHED by the courts.

: NYPD Lied Under Oath To Prosecute Occupy
Activist – And Gets
: Caught By Jury

: An Occupy Wall Street activist was acquitted
of assaulting a
: police officer and other charges on Thursday after jurors
: were presented with video evidence that directly
: contradicted the NYPD’s story.

: Michael Premo was found innocent of all
charges this week in
: regards to a case that stems from a December 17, 2011
: Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Lower Manhattan.

: For over a year, prosecutors working on
behalf of the New York
: Police Department have insisted that Premo, a known artist
: and activist, tackled an NYPD officer during a protest and
: in doing so inflicted enough damage to break a bone.

: During court proceedings this week, Premo’s
attorney presented
: a video that showed officers charging into the defendant
: unprovoked.

: The Village Voice reports that jurors
deliberated for several
: hours on Thursday and then elected to find Premo not guilty
: on all counts, which included a felony charge of assaulting
: an officer of the law.

: Since his arrest, supporters of Premo have
insisted on his
: innocence.

: “They’re trying to make something out of
nothing and they’re
: trying to charge him with something that didn’t actually
: occur,” colleague Rachel Falcone told Free Speech Radio
: News this week.

: After being arrested, the Manhattan District
Attorney’s office
: presented Premo with a deal that would have let him off the
: hook by pleading guilty to lesser charges.

: Maintaining his innocence, however, he was
determined to fight
: the case in court.

: Premo was “facing serious charges and
potential substantial
: jail sentence, even though he never should have been
: arrested at all,” his supporters claimed in a post
: published on The Laundromat Project website.

: Nick Pinto of the Village Voice says he was
nearby during the
: December 2011 rally and recalls watching Premo’s arrest
: from a distance.

: In his report from court this week, Pinto
explains how the
: details provided by the NYPD in this trial have been
: fabricated to such a degree that the allegations presented
: by the cops turned out to be literally the opposite of what
: occurred.

: “Premo charged the police like a linebacker,
taking out a
: lieutenant and resisting arrest so forcefully that he
: fractured an officer’s bone. That’s the story prosecutors
: told in Premo’s trial, and it’s the general story his
: arresting officer testified to under oath as well,” Pinto
: writes.

: He adds that attorneys for the defendant
underwent a lengthy
: search to try and find video that verified their own
: account yjpihj, and found one in the hands of Democracy
: Now.

: “Far from showing Premo tackling a police
officer,” writes
: Pinto, that video “shows cops tackling him as he attempted
: to get back on his feet.”

: The footage obtained from Democracy Now also
showed that an
: NYPD officer was filming the arrest as well, but
: prosecutors told Premo’s attorney that no such footage
: existed.

: “There is no justice in the American
justice system, but
: you can sometimes find it in a jury,” Premo tweeted after
: he was acquitted this week.

: In an interview given to NBC in 2012, Premo
identified himself
: as a spokesperson for the Occupy Wall Street movement.

: He has also led an initiative in the New
York area that have
: provided relief to those that endured last year’s
: Superstorm Sandy and has also advocated for fair housing.

: “The biggest thing for me coming out of
this,” he
: told the Voice, “is not being discouraged by the
: attempts of New York City to quell dissent and prevent us
: from expressing our constitutional rights.”
