this couple was 'protected and served' almost to death while the cops were virtually left alone to create more mayhem;

New Haven, CT — As TFTP reported in 2019, citizens of New Haven protested for several days after April 16 when police blocked in a couple in their vehicle and opened fire on them for no reason. The entire incident was captured on video and showed the utter cowardice and ridiculous violence carried out by New Haven’s best.

Stephanie Washington, 22, was hospitalized after the two trigger-happy cops opened fire on her and her boyfriend Paul Witherspoon, 21. According to police, Hamden officer Devon Eaton and Yale police officer Terrance Pollock were responding to reports of a robbery at a nearby gas station when they stopped the vehicle in which Washington was a passenger.

Neither Washington nor Witherspoon committed a robbery and they were entirely innocent.

As the body camera footage shows, there was no reason for the officers to start shooting as it appeared the couple was trying to comply and exit the vehicle. But they simply weren’t given any time before these trigger happy cops opened fire.

Eaton was charged after a lengthy, use of force investigation by the New Haven State’s Attorney and the Connecticut State Police. The investigation report cleared Pollock of “any criminal wrongdoing.” It concluded that Pollock fired three times at the red Honda, but didn’t hit anything, The report also said that Pollock suffered a minor graze wound from one of Eaton’s shots and that Eaton also hit Pollock’s police car.

Eaton fired 13 times, shooting Washington and his fellow cop in a clearly reckless manner and this week, we learned that he will not be going to jail. In January, Eaton pleaded no contest in Superior Court to a charge of first-degree assault for the shooting. He was set to be sentenced for five years, suspended after 18 months and three years of probation. That did not happen.

Instead, he received probation only. What’s more, Eaton was never fired and has been on the payroll since the shooting three years ago. He only just resigned in January as part of his plea agreement.........more......
