I have lived in Omaha since 1965. For much of that time this was a city in effect run by the Police. At least one and possibly two mayors were run out of office by the Department, for not playing ball with the 'boys in blue'. It was considered common knowledge that many of them planted evidence to secure convictions. About a decade ago some of that began to change. Omaha is growing by leaps and bounds, companies are relocating here, we may be surpassing Kansas City in population in the next census.With that came an awareness that some of this stuff had to go. The Chief we now have is superb. We also have a county attorney who I think will indeed not hesitate to file charges if warranted.
What happened to this man was a disgrace.He was ejected from the bus with no responsibility being assumed by the bus company for his well being. He spent a day wandering unfamiliar streets in a strange city and then it appears he was killed because LE didn't want to do their jobs. He was in the process of being transported back to the bus station! How many times was LE going to do that before someone got him some help?
