Flutterby™! : Institutional corruption?

DeKalb officer's lie kept teen locked up:

"Due to the unfortunate circumstances of being at the wrong place at the wrong time with a supervisor whose intentions were misleading for any rookie officer, I have made this decision to resign," Hudson wrote in his resignation letter.

Busted for unwritten department policy, hung out to dry.

But, worse, once this lie was exposed and the information was taken to the DA's office, it still took a year for the guy to get released and he's now suing to overturn the conviction.

Reading a bit between the lines here, I think that the expectation of a young black male in DeKalb county that what he does doesn't matter because he's going to be hassled by the cops is probably a factor.
