cop abuse or just cop stupid?

[Bill F]

Bad time to be a politician or a cop. You have made your own beds.Enjoy dude.

Gee Bill it must be great to be you. By the way, I notice you never mention whether or not you actually committed the offense.

[Dave]

Guys, guys---I didn't mean to start a general cop bashing, I have known and liked several over the years. Hell one lived 4 doors away, a childless couple, who used to baby site our twin daughters.
I was only mentioning one particular case, which seemed not good judgement to me. I know the info was slim but so was the news article. If I see any more on it I will be back.

Most cops are cut from the same cloth as crooks.

Now it's arbitrary!

BTW, my beef isn't with the LEO's....it's with Tazers! Bad science leading to horrendous outcomes with the cops stuck in the middle.

[Bill F]

No ,I did not.That is why the cop had to lie to have me found guilty.

Tell ya what, bill, if you are mugged, assaulted, or your house is robbed, next time Call the ACLU instead of the police!
Yes, there are some bad cops, there are also bad doctors, building contractors, lawyers, plumbers, etc. (and a LOT of politicians)
I know of TWO FBI agents who lied out of their arses on the stand, but I don't believe all of them do.,

You said:

"Tell ya what, bill, if you are mugged, assaulted, or your house is robbed, next time Call the ACLU instead of the police."

Truth is calling the cops or calling ACLU is a toss up. In fact if I called the ACLU, I would probably get more results than calling the police. I have said it before, I cannot even imagine a situation where I would call the police for help.

A few weeks ago somebody got into my shop and stole about $1,000 worth of tools including a chain saw, a compressor and a impact wrench. I called my neighbors and friends and guess what? I found out there was a local teeny bopper wigger wannabe was trying to sell my tools... I went by and retrieved most of them. End of story.

The last time I called 911 was when I was driving down I-70 and saw a woman laying in the medium. She was 5 miles from the closest exit and there were no stopped cars anywhere around. By the time I got stopped I was about 1/2 mile down the interstate and had no way of getting back to help her. I called 911 and the woman operator says "what is your emergency?"

I said "I am at the XXX mile marker west bound and..."

The operator says "What direction is the vehicle traveling?"

I said "there is no direction..."

The operator interrupts and says "What direction?"

I replied "I have no clue but if you will be quiet..."

Click! They hung up on me.

I could go on for hours, and hours, and hours.

Call the cops... NEVER in my lifetime.

Unbelievable how ignorant some folks are about law enforcment officers. Based on the predjudice shown here the same individuals may as well label all white people as Klan members and all Black people as Panthers. There is good and bad in every organization, even religous organizations and so forth. Judge a man individually by his actions. Sweeping statements made against every one in a job function is pure stupidity on the part of he who utters such a statement.

I'm sorry for the gentleman who suffered under bad LEO's, but life does not guarentee every situation will be fair. Bad people exist in every walk of life, and at times good people will suffer. Sometimes there is justice and sometimes they get away with it. Just do the best you can to uphold your own personal honor reguardless and you will be the better Man or Woman for it.

Semper Fi, Rob

You know I wonder how many of the folks that are complaining about police officers could stand up to the same judgement or scrutiny, Like honesty, efficiency, integrity, don't violate the law, never make mistakes, etc. in their own work or personal lives. I don't wish to make any accusations but just making an observation that people are not perfect. Ray

Oh I don't know...our company has a couple of VERY simple policies that are conveyed to every employee before they "sign on the dotted line" of their employment contract: "Integrity is like virginity....you can only lose it once!" and, "No employee ever makes the same mistake twice...you're fired the first time!" Some businesses just HAVE to operate that way...a pity it isn't a more pervasive attitude.
