PFPD Blue Cleared Of ‘Excessive Force’

Item: PF police cleared of excessive force: Jury decides one case, judge dismisses other /Brian Walker, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: Two separate cases in which men alleged that a former Post Falls Police officer used excessive force during two arrests have concluded in the city’s favor. A jury on Tuesday unanimously decided in district court that the city was not liable when Bradley Platt, 38, of Post Falls, suffered facial injuries when he was arrested by Officer Erik Andersen during a traffic stop following a short pursuit in January 2005.

Question: Do these verdicts increase your trust in local authorities?
