You make it sound like there was no judge or jury, Brewer just imprisoned the guy all on her own?
She upheld the decision of the jury and the judge(the jury was a bunch of amateurs who bought the prosecutors lies and the judge was constrained by minimum sentencing requirements).
The governor had the power to correct this miscarriage of justice and instead she perpetuated it.
"The officer directed Connely to turn around and kneel. When Connely refused and assumed an aggressive stance with clenched fists as if he wanted to fight, the officer deployed a Taser to subdue him" (page 3).
Ah yes, because a clenched fist is equal to the threat and power of a Taser gun.
I would have expected a hardcore red state like AZ to be outraged over this kind of policing. The government totally trashed this guy's property and Second Amendment rights.
Maybe everybody out there is afraid to speak up.
personally i think what the guy did was wrong. instead of waving his gun around and ordering the cop off his property, perhaps he should have found out what was going on, and then dealt with the situation later. chances are that he would not have been arrested and sent to jail had he done that. i just dont feel sorry for him, i have said it many times, if you want respect, you have to GIVE respect. you have to treat people like you want to be treated, apparently the guy wanted to be treated like crap.

The cop didn't GIVE any respect, so you have contradicted yourself.

The guy had no criminal history.
You don't have to be nice to someone trespassing on your property. Was the cop paying this guys bills? Or was it the other way around?

would YOU give any respect to someone who was cursing at you and waving a gun around, wile screaming at you to get off his property? the guy did not give the cop any respect when he came out of the house, the cop was responding to the situation, i would have done the same thing the cop did. had the guy come out of the house, and asked what was going on, and not waved his gun around, and not cursed at teh cop or demanded that he leave the property, then very likely he would have found out what was going on, and then if he walked away, he would still be home right now not in jail.
What angers Harrier about this incident is that Connely did not act in a malicious, premeditated manner.
He had no criminal record and was asleep when he was awakened by a disturbance on his property.
He acted to defend the life of his wife, himself, and to protect his property, and for doing do he was tasred, arrested, tried, and convicted of a trumped up "crime" - all because some cop thought that he was too big for his britches.
Anyone who defends such an outrage is absolutely pathetic.
