Wisconsin Deputy Badly Injures Woman In Crash, Attempts To Blame Victim.

Here's the way the thinking goes:

If people get the impression that the cops are bad then they'll be hesitant to cooperate with them thus throwing the whole criminal justice system into turmoil. The solution, therefore, is to allow bad cops to exist as long as they don't become too public about their incompetence and/or corruption. Every once in a while they'll throw a cop at the politicians so the powers that be can claim they're on top of the matter.

It's a total "wag the dog" situation and it continues because, doggone it, people keep on voting for the "flavor of the day" instead of for competent and responsible officials.

This cop runs a stop sign and crashes into another car, which breaks the neck of the woman driving in four places. Then, he charges HER with drunk driving. But for video: Wisconsin deputy badly injures woman in crash, attempts to blame victim

This is way beyond the usual cops can do no wrong bull. Wow. I hope this article about the investigation into that police force and related prosecutor bring her relief by way of compensation as well as seeing those assholes criminally charged and jailed.

But it gets worse. From Fox 6: The truth might never have surfaced were it not for video from a nearby airport surveillance camera. It shows what investigators say is Deputy Quiles’ squad car traveling west on Hutsteiner Avenue, then continuing onto Howell without making a complete stop, as Quiles claimed in his report. The Sheriff’s Office knew about the video just two days after the crash. But no one told Weyker.
Instead, the County sent letters blaming her for the crash and threatening legal action if she didn’t pay for the damage.
Of course, if Weyker was drunk, it would have been easy to pin the blame on her. But less than a month after the crash, test results showed she had no alcohol in her system. And by July, her drug test came back negative too. Five months after the crash, it was clear Weyker had been stone cold sober.
But still the case didn’t go away.
“I don’t think it is fair at all,” Weyker said.

There’s more. Apparently, Quiles’s injuries from the accident weren’t particularly all that serious. According to Fox 6, he was treated and released the night of the crash. Yet he has been on paid medical leave ever since and has cited the accident in an attempt to avoid paying child support. He is also now asking for permanent disability pay. Quiles has apparently been disciplined for running a stop sign, but he has not been disciplined for filing a clearly false police report and attempting to frame an innocent woman whom he badly injured. He also apparently has a history of filing reports writtend by others.
