| Subject: Statist maggots: NYPD officers planted guns on innocent people in order to arrest them for illegal possession of firearms Sat Jan 17, 2015 1:29 am | |
| The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office announced it is looking into whether or not six NYPD officers planted guns on innocent people in order to arrest them for illegal possession of firearms. Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson announced the investigation after prosecutors were forced to drop a weapons case involving a man accused of having a gun outside his Brooklyn apartment. The probe will center on allegations that police officers have been planting guns on innocent people.
The man in question in this particular case, 53-year-old Jeffery Herring, was arrested last year by officers from the 67th Precinct in East Flatbush. Police said they had a tip from a confidential informant stating that someone had a gun. Herring matched the description of the man, and a gun was found at the location reported by the informant. However, the gun found was in a plastic bag with no traces of the suspect’s fingerprints. The charges were dropped when police were unable to bring the informant to court despite a judge’s order that he or she appear. Herring has maintained his innocence for more than a year and a half. “I dreamed of this day,” said Herring, who was facing up to 15 years in jail, to The New York Daily News. “I knew I didn’t do anything.”
