the thin blue line once again isn't, and here you will see how they framed two marines for helping an unconscious person;


San Diego, Calif. – As TFTP originally reported, two active duty U.S. Marines were charged with felony assault and battery charges stemming from an altercation with San Diego police officers and faced the possibility of being dishonorably discharged from the service, as well as up to three years in prison for the false charges filed against them. Luckily, however, unlike the police officers, the body camera footage didn’t lie, and now, one of these former Marines is getting civil justice. 
Although they were charged with assault and battery, video captured on an officer’s body camera indicates a different set of circumstance than the narrative put forth by the officers involved in the incident, and backs up claims made by the men and their attorneys.
This week, former Lance Corporal Robert Reginato was awarded $116,000 to settle the lawsuit against the San Diego police department.
The Marines claim and the video shows that they were simply being good Samaritans and rendering aid to an unknown victim that was lying unconscious on the ground when police attacked them.
They two men stated that they were out celebrating the return of a fellow Marine from Afghanistan when they witnessed a fight take place. One of the participants in the fight, who was unknown to either Marine, was knocked unconscious. Both men rushed to the side of the victim and attempted to render aid to the unconscious man on the ground.
The video then shows police rushing in and attempting to manhandle the two Marines as they are in the process of attempting to give aid to the unconscious man on the ground.
“While being held down on the ground, [Reginato] was repeatedly punched in the face by defendant Patrick Vinson, without necessity or justification,” reads the 2015 lawsuit.............https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cops-assault-and-arrest-two-marines-for-giving-first-aid-to-an-unconscious-man/250722
