Suspected Dying Dirty Cop Golubski Under House Arrest, Critics Cite Racism

Today we learned of an anti-climax to KCK social justice activism  . . . An ALLEGEDLY dirty cop isn't likely to last much longer, is too sick for jail and the case against him will probably never make it to trial. 

Here's the money line and a hit that this whole story might just be bad theater . . .

Ultimately, it appears that it came down to Golubski's health. The 69-year-old has renal failure, just had a heart bypass this spring and is insulin-dependent.

Schwartz said if the charges had been filed when he had fewer health concerns or when he was still a police officer, he would pose a different risk and might have remained in jail.

Instead, Golubski will be under house arrest. He will only be allowed to go to doctor's appointments, church, meetings with his attorney and court hearings. He has to stay in Kansas, with the exception of one doctor's appointment in Missouri, which he may be able to attend.

Golubski will be required to wear an ankle monitor and will not be allowed to have any firearms, the judge said.

"Golubski is free because he's white. Golubski's free because he's a cop, Golubski is free because our system is racist,” Lucas Behrens, MORE2 Community Organizer, said. "It is the court choosing to value Golubski's life over the lives of his victims."
