this is a classic example of why i post bad cop stories;
Alpharetta, GA — As TFTP reports on a regular basis, families who dial 911 for medical help with their loved ones often times receive police instead. The results of sending cops to medical emergencies have been utterly catastrophic over the years with innocent people in need of a doctor receiving fists, batons, pepper spray, and even bullets instead. Travis Moya is the latest victim of this gross incompetence and his violent punishment for needing medical help came in the form of a K-9 mauling him in his front yard.
After battling bogus charges — brought to justify the brutal actions from police — the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office announced that they will not prosecute Moya.
A lawsuit is now underway.
Senior District Attorney Melissa Roth said in a court filing dated June 2 that after reviewing police bodycam video “the state believes a jury would find insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt.”
An attorney for Moya, L. Chris Stewart said he believes police video shows Moya didn’t deserve to be charged and the past year has turned his client’s life “upside down.”
“You’re charged with something and it’s public on TV and it’s not fair,” Stewart said, adding that the upcoming lawsuit is intended to seek justice. “This could’ve sent that man to jail for nothing. He didn’t deserve it.”
Moya was indicted in April on three felony obstruction charges as well as misdemeanor obstruction for a police incident outside his home on July 25, 2021, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Attorneys representing Moya are pushing for the officers involved to be criminally charged for their actions that day. However, after investigating themselves last summer, police released a statement noting that “it was determined that there was no violation of departmental police or federal or state law regarding necessary use of force standards.”.......more............
