Just happened across this again and saw your post. I think the facts are pretty clear in this case. I would be greatly surprised if this cop gets anything more than a hand slap after this is all over. They're going to drag this out until the public forgets and then let him off really lightly. My experiences with law enforcement through the years has certainly lowered my opinion of them. Put it this way, I live in the country and I won't call them for anything that happens out here unless someone would be killed. They don't care and have no interest in investigating anything, period. Our county could fire half or more of their department and no one would ever miss them.
Being in law enforcement is at best a tough job. At worst, it sucks royally. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now lest anyone think I am a far right leaning supporter of any police action, let me say, I'll wager I've spent more time on the side of the road with a cruiser in front of me and another behind me than the majority of you. No reason to get into the why of that, just accept that I'm speakiing the truth. And yet, for all of that, I have a lot of respect for law enforcement. The good ones even in bad situations treat you with respect for your rights and courtesy. They've learned over the years that acting the asshole, gets you the same in return. And you know, if you just act respectfully toward them, most of the time you can get through whatever the issue is with minimum hassle.
NOW, having said all that, there are bad cops just like there are bad priests and lousy doctors and crappy dentists and so forth. People are people irregardless of what they do for a living. Should I hate every Catholic Priest in the world because a bunch of them were/are pedophiles. That's about where we're at with Muslims and I can't see that our attitude there is getting us anywhere. OK, this is borderline political so l'll stop here. I think y'all get my drift
