October 01, 2007 Punishing Good Samaritans

Meanwhile, remember Monica Montoya? She’s the New Jersey woman who helped a police officer translate at the scene of a car accident, then was knocked to the ground arrested when she attempted to make a phone call to check on her daughter, who was at daycare (she wasn’t involved in the accident, she just volunteered to help translate).

While it’s good that the local prosecutor’s office is investigating the conduct of the police officer in the case, the same office is also pushing forward with charges against Montoya for resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.

See this happening more and more. Police and prosecutors refusing to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Ironic considering it’s their “job” to make others accountable. They seem to believe they’ll lose all credibility and/or control if they rectify their mistakes.  You need only watch the world news to see the ramifications.

People/citizens reach a point where they no longer tolerate their governments abuses of power. It’s called war.
