Video: Grinning cops sued for watching thieves walk away

• wnd.com

Police officers in Jackson, Mississippi, are being accused of letting thieves walk away with the property of pro-life activists who were exercising their First Amendment rights on public sidewalks, and a video has been posted to support the claim.

The video shows the activists approaching police and reporting the thefts. An officer, who is holding a drink and appears to be leaning up against a vehicle, states: "I see that. I'm dealing with something right now."

The complaint was filed by Pro-Life Mississippi and a number of individuals against Police Chief Lindsay Horton, the city and officers Jesse Robinson, James McGowan, Mary James, Marie Hampton, James Ross and Willis Thomas.

The police department refused WND's request for comment, and the city attorney's office did not respond to a WND message.

The action was filed by the Life Legal Defense Foundation on behalf of the activists
