Prosecutors dismiss cases linked to racist ex-Fort Lauderdale cops

The latest fallout tied to four Fort Lauderdale police officers who lost their jobs because of racist text messages and a homemade video is the dismissal of nearly three dozen criminal cases the cops were linked to as arresting officers.

Nearly 20 more dismissals are in the works, prosecutors said. As of Thursday, the Broward State Attorney's Office had dropped 12 felony and 19 criminal misdemeanor cases and one juvenile case in which one or more of the four officers were involved.

Yes, some of those arrested probably were guilty but it might be a tad difficult using testimony from a cop who would text -- "I had a wet dream that you two found those two n------ in the VW and gave them the death penalty right there on the spot."
