here is your serving of serve and protect with the usual police crap on innocent man walking home;
Camden County, NJ — Edward Minguela had done nothing wrong and was simply walking home in February 2018 when he was attacked by Camden County police officer Nicholas Romantino. The subsequent attack was captured on video and immediately sparked outrage. The video was so outrageous that the officer was actually arrested. However, because the American justice system is so corrupt, in 2019, Romantino walked free. Now, it will be the taxpayers who are held liable.
Last year, Minguela filed a federal civil lawsuit claiming excessive force was used when he was held down and repeatedly punched in the head by Camden police officer Nicholas Romantino. This week, the taxpayers were put on notice that they will be shelling out $300,000 to pay for the misdeeds of Romantino.
The suit named as defendants Romantino, three other officers, former Camden Police Chief J. Scott Thomson, former county prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and the county. The suit also named the current police chief, Joseph Wysocki, who was deputy chief at the time of the incident.
According to NJ.com, the settlement agreement involves only Minguela and Romantino, but in it Minguela agrees to dismiss counts against the other named defendants: two other police officers who allegedly helped hold him down, Brandon Gallagher and Anthony Agus, the ranking officer at the scene Sgt. Odise Carr, then deputy chief Joseph Wysocki, then chief J. Scott Thomson, then county prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo, and the county.
“The fact that the two officers who held Minguela down during the beating were not disciplined, is not promising,” Minguela’s attorney, Devon Jacob, said.
Romantino was suspended without pay and eventually resigned, keeping his law enforcement license..........read and watch more.......
