  1. Interesting. I believe the Judge’s questions simply affirm what a misconceived publicity stunt this entire operation was. Perhaps the City should think about starting the bonding process necessary to settle this boondoggle.

  2. Billy Bolin is utterly incompetent and a disgrace to an already disgraced town. If he had any dignity he would’ve resigned over this gestapo incident. We know Winnecke has no shame but he oughta be ashamed of this one.

  3. Wow!
    Having listened carefully to this recording – to say that I am embarrassed by our Police Department would be an understatement. I hope Mrs Milan and her Grand-daughter are compensated for personal damages and the violation of their Constitutional rights. IMHO: the awarding of substantial punitive damages is in order
    – plus a change of policy and leadership is needed. …

    • Dear Bubbageek . . .

      Based on the four lawsuits all surrounding the EPD, it is past time for the removal of Mr. Bolin especially after listening to these arguments. I wake up wondering at times am I living in Jackson, Mississippi?

        • First of all, we have this particular case . . . the second is the fireman on the bicycle . . . the third is the African-American lady who parked car was a victim of a hit and run and when the EPD came on the site, they ended up tazoring her, and the forth is the latino who was at Zuki’s downtown when the EPD showed up . . . the guy could not speak English . . . Evansville’s finest beat the crap out of him and of course all is on video . . . sound like a Rodney King episode . . .

  4. After lessening to these arguments, it is apparent that excessive force was used and more incredible was one of the justices sarcastic remarks at the conclusion should be concerning to the people of this community. Mr. Bolin’s lack of law enforcement technique and protocol is evident in these proceedings. Warrants public comment and corrective action of this Administration, but do not hold your breathe while waiting . . .

    If this Mayor idly stands by this Chief after hearing these arguments, then he is as culpable and unfortunately we the people are suck into the vortex . . . but this is what elections are for as our President once said . . .

  5. Is Connie Robinson really still going to support Winnecke after all this? It’s obvious Bolin and Winnecke have ordered media intimidation and supression on this topic. This is way too big of a deal to pass over for stories about girl scout bake sales and Bruce Jenner like is the norm on the local news sites.

    • When will a judicial decision be made? I’d almost bet money that the Mayor will appeal any negative judgment against the city to the State Supreme Court. This is disgraceful and the city should just pay the lady and fire the Police Chief who was there during the raid but then later claims he was not in charge of the raid. Liar Liar Pants on fire.

      • If Santa Lloyd losses this one, it will not be the state supreme court, but the US Supreme Court . . .of course, Ziemer would love that possibility . . .just think how much he could rip out the city in legal fees

    • “Media intimidation” & “Bruce Jenner”, you must be smoking the good stuff today.

      • this comment was directed to Ghost Joad who fears the “suppression” of the all powerful Mayor Winnecke, while also worrying about Bruce Jenner. Party on dude.

    • Anybody can make a mistake like this one once, but doubt she will make it the second time . . . let’s refer to ol LW as Cool Hand Luke Winnecke . . .

  6. Was driving around the city and actually witnessed Bolin placing Winneck for Mayor signs . . . to be expected, but NOT in a EPD squad car . . . these morons think they are suited in teflon . . .

  7. Listened to all 30 minutes . . . .felt ASHAMED that the goofball attorney Burkhart, Burkert, whatever, could stand there and lob in his insane theories, especially why they didn’t use flash bangs two days later when they actually went to the the home of the perp !

    This will NOT go to trial. Russ and KC are going through couch cushions this evening trying to come up with a settlement offer . . . .

    Also, these judges, who just so happened to be female, are brilliant ! You don’t get to be an appellate court judge by looking pretty, these ladies really asked the tough questions. Bravo !

    • I could not believe his repeated comments about the fear of MASS MURDER. It was pretty obvious the judges were not buying it.

      • @stone,

        . . . and the part where they tried to justify handcuffing everyone in the house after the EPD had entered the house . . . the 18 year old girl handcuffed for fear of mass murder; then the Judge says “what about a 12 year old?”; “what about a 3 year old ?”. The City’s lawyer really couldn’t even answer the questions, I think he muttered that he WAS worried about a hypothetical 12 year old in the house murdering cops . . . since he’d seen it on TV the night before ? Wowsa, surely you jest ?

      • Would you pay for the most money possible when you are the ones you can easily enter them on their own Thean affordable price. Accidents being the law and may end up disappointed upon reading it carefully before you choose is not unusual for a way of putting a little bit money.different insurance companies. It is simply because you will pay a lot of toll charges and mounting medical bills should you do, you need to know the truth.

Thus the burden of 15%.

  8. IS IT TRUE that the Seventh Circuit Case has the attention of old Al Sharpton . . . just think . . . Evansville and Selma in the same paragraph . . . boy that publicity sure helped Ferguson, MO . . . just wish to thank our dear Chief for such an opportunity to meet and greet old Al . . .Kool-Aid anyone???

    • Maybe Al will talk Obama and his new Attorney General into investigating the EPD like they did in Ferguson, MO and in Boston, MA. The Feds need to take a real close look at this town and how it’s being run these days. If Big Al gets on the War Path this will be plastered all over MSNBC for days on end until Big Al gets his way. Remember what he did to Imus in the Morning.
