Fascism in action: Held in jail on bogus charges for over a month until he lost his job. This is a blatant and likely effective attempt to stifle dissent and deny people their First Amendment rights.
Hopefully he sues the crap out of them. The officers should lose their Qualified Immunity protection because they knowingly violated his Constitutional rights.
I hope he’s already suing. That’s 100% false arrest bullshit.
He better act quickly. The legal system is just about completely collapsed at this point. He may not get the opportunity at all later.
Yeah, I hope this costs the taxpayers millions. I hope it costs them enough to where they have to start fucking caring about the shitbags they put into law enforcement.
Yeah! I hope it puts the government in debt!
Local government can't soak unlimited debt because they can't print money
Qualified immunity and the corporate veil shouldn't exist at all. If they can't afford liability insurance, then they shouldn't do it.
This right here. Shitty cop's insurance goes up until they can't afford to be a police officer anymore. Problem solved without having to reform every police department.
Since they don't seem to care hit them where it hurts.
Due to being imprisoned for more than a month, Bushart reportedly lost his job in medical transport.
All according to plan
When you get to sue for damages, what you get to sue for is based upon what the defendant is worth.
Pretty sure losing your job qualifies as damages.
Nashville ain't broke.
Homeboy don't need a job no more. This case is a slam dunk. This is at least 7 figures, guaranteed.
I hope he has the money to do so.
ACLU works for free in cases as easy as this. Because they know they'll get their money.
It is a slam dunk. They let him out and dropped charges. They've literally admitted fault already.
Responding to community anxiety!? Did they just tell us they are arresting people for fucking feels. What a bunch of fascist little bitches.
"community anxiety"
One Twitter fascist comment with zero shares they were somehow aware of.
He'll probably get a big payout from the taxpayers, and the crooked cops will just keep on copping.
Some small towns actually lose their police forces from this kind of incident. The first payout comes from insurance, and then the provider drops the town, so the cop shop closes doors.
Doesn't work on large towns, sad to say.
Nice to know!
Heads up, to anyone if you end up in jail and can't lose your job.
FMLA.
You can take a fuck ton of unpaid time off for family medical leaves of absence and your job must be there for you when you return.
If you're in a situation where you feel this could happen to you, get a plan in place to get the paperwork moving.
I’m pretty sure FMLA needs to be activated a couple of weeks prior to going on leave.
It does not. There are emergency clauses in almost everything to do with any type of leave.
It does not from my understanding. My mother in law used it quite often when she was having medical issues and would send the forms in a day or two after being out. This was close to 10 years ago now so I'm unsure if anything has changed.
i wish him luck on his eventual lawsuit
Now time for the lawsuit.
"Muh ~~economic~~ community anxiety!"
