That is a lie!

Hell, even this pregnant woman was tasered because she parked in a handicap spot: Tiffany Rent, Pregnant Chicago Woman Tasered By Police, Files Lawsuit (Granted, she's big as a house, so it could be hard to tell if she was preggo. Not to mention she apparently torn up the ticket and threw it at the cop. But, it did all stem from her getting a ticket because of where she parked)
She didn't get tazed due to a parking violation, she was charged with assault and resisting arrest. Why don't you ever try and get your facts straight?

Are you all figuring it out yet?

ChrisOnllyn is a first class cop hater. He has been for a long time. He doesn't like the label, but as you can see, it is well deserved. I don't know where his motivation comes from but he always, always takes a cop-hating bent. Always. Did I mention always?

Soon he'll post another answer and he'll tell you all how many cop friends he has. Heh Heh......

Remember this, COP_HATERS never let the truth or facts get in their way!

Yea, I'm just pulling this idea out of thin air.

Watch: Video of College Park Police Beating : DCist

Watch the video, did you see that man doing, or attempting to assault the horse? Because that's what the police report said. It also said he received injuries from that horse. Now, do you really think this guy would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the video? Also, how often does stuff like this happen that doesn't get caught by camera? It took a year and a half for it to get to the grand jury. Luckily, 2 officers have been charged with assault.

2 Cops arrested. One kicked a cop car, and another was doing drugs and affliated with a gang.

Cops arrested for trafficking bootleg cigarettes, alcohol and cocaine.

Cop arrested for sexually assaulting inmate.
Gazette.Net: County sheriff deputy arrested for sexual assault of female inmate

Hey, Justiceforall, these are even local stories.

I find it funny that no one commented on the story I posted the other day:
Judge gets hit in the neck....by a cop.

But I'm sure that judge, who was standing on the street calling for help, for the officers, then gets jabbed in the neck was wrong for being there, or did something to provoke them, or is lying....

Las Vegas officer investigated in motorist stops resigns - News - ReviewJournal.com
I'm sure 5 unconnected women somehow spontaneously gathered and conspired to ruin a cop's career.

Anthony Orban, Ex-Police Officer, Found Guilty Of Kidnapping, Rape
This guy kidnapped and raped a waitress at gunpoint in a brutal attack.

No, Freefaller....I don't look at the fact's at all...Each year, millions of dollars are spent by local jurisdictions to pay for police excessive force cases. Where do those cases come from? Mid- air?

Quote:
The City of Boston has agreed to pay Michael P. O’Brien $1.4 million to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit against Officer David C. Williams for excessive force that led to plaintiff's brain injury
Quote:
Simon Glik is to receive $170,000 in damages and legal fees from the City of Boston to settle a lawsuit involving an arrest after videotaping an officer. In 2007, Glik was arrested on Boston Common after using his cell phone to film an officer arresting another man.
Quote:
The decedent Dr. Ryan Rich was killed on January 4, 2008 when a highway patrol officer discharged his Taser model X26 three times to Rich’s chest at a distance of three feet. Dr. Rich was driving on the highway when he suffered a seizure and lost control of his vehicle. This caused several minor traffic collisions, which were witnessed by Officer Loren Lazoff. Once the car came to a stop, Officer Lazoff ordered Dr. Rich to step out of the vehicle. Rich was in a dazed post-seizure state and thus did not comply. Officer Lazoff was able to get Rich out of the car; at that point Rich began to run. Lazoff then administered several taser shots. After arresting Rich, a passerby noticed that Rich was not breathing and turning blue. He died shortly after.
Quote:
The Campbell family of Portland, OR received $1.2 million in a settlement for the police shooting and death of Aaron Campbell. The emotionally distraught Campbell was unarmed and not suspected of criminal activity, but was fatally shot in the back by police officers.
Quote:
On March 20, 2003, over 700 people were falsely arrested in Chicago for protesting the Iraq war. In this case, Vodak v. City of Chicago, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion criticizing the police for its treatment of the protestors and reinstated the case after the court dismissed it. The opinion stated that police could not arrest protestors without warning even if they do not have a permit. There were also instances of excessive force.
Quote:
A federal jury in Madison has awarded a whistle blowing Polk County Deputy Sheriff $260,000 in damages after finding that he was the victim of a retaliatory internal investigation at the hands of former Polk County Sheriff, Timothy G. Moore, 53. Arling Olson, 53, who still serves as a Deputy Sheriff in Polk County, ran for sheriff against Moore in 2006 and cooperated in an investigation carried out by the state Division of Criminal Investigation in 2007 into whether Moore had surreptitiously videotaped the interview of a criminal defendant in 2002 and beaten an arrestee in handcuffs in 2003. NPAP member Jeff Scott Olson represented the plaintiff.
Quote:
Judge Patel found that the defendant, Officer Mayer, acted with indifference as to the Fourth Amendment rights of the plaintiffs. These actions were just two of over forty actions filed against the Oakland Police Department for violation of the fourth amendment.
Why is it so sacreligious to ask that police hold true to the oath they took when they were sworn into office?

Let me guess. Not all cops are bad, and they are just people like the rest of us, right? Yet, more often than not, you'll read a local article about some criminal getting locked up, and all you people want to do is "throw the book at him", "lock him away forever". Was that criminal not a person? Or does having a badge somehow put you on a moral pedestal above the citizens you swore to protect?

LOCAL? PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY!!! How do you figure that local for Southern Maryland?

I find it funny that no one commented on the story I posted the other day:

What did you want people to say? The cop did something wrong and is being punished. So what?

But I'm sure that judge, who was standing on the street calling for help, for the officers, then gets jabbed in the neck was wrong for being there, or did something to provoke them, or is lying....

I don't know. I don't know what the cops perception was. Neither do you. We haven't heard from him. Of course, we know there are no liberal judges in New York who might have at one time been defense attorney's who have never told a lie right?


This guy kidnapped and raped a waitress at gunpoint in a brutal attack.

And who was it that arrested this guy? Oh...wait. THE COPS!!!

No, Freefaller....I don't look at the fact's at all...Each year, millions of dollars are spent by local jurisdictions to pay for police excessive force cases. Where do those cases come from? Mid- air?

There is more money spent on frivilous medical lawsuits than excessive force lawsuits. Often times government simply pays in order to avoid costly litigation. We are talking about local issues though. St. Mary's, Calvert, Charles. I work for a state agency but have only worked in two counties, St. Mary's and Calvert.


Why is it so sacreligious to ask that police hold true to the oath they took when they were sworn into office?

Who is saying it is? Nobody! There is not one person on here who is defending a cop who has been justly convicted or charged with any crime. The good citizens here aren't going to buy into your cop hating blame the cop no matter how frivilous or baseless the accusation.

How often do you read a LOCAL article about a cop getting locked up or doing something wrong? It's pretty rare. When you do, it is dealt with. The cop is charged and prosecuted. Has happend more than one time since I have been down here. No thin blue line, but more so a line of integrity.

And when his b.s. is called on, like his false statistics proven to be wrong, he had no answer for it. He just pulls out more b.s. Maybe he believes everything he reads on the internet is true? Do you think he could be that stupid? Nobody could be THAT stupid!

I don't think Chris is stupid. Not at all. I think his hatred runs deep and it rules his thoughts! What he doesn't understand is that all of us hate it when bad cops commit crimes or abuse their authority. Those cops deserve to be punished, the same as everyone. We just don't paint all of the other good cops with the same brush! He'll never understand that, never. Did I say never?

Chris, you forgot to tell us how many of your friends are cops!

My comment has nothing to do with Chris...he has his own opinion. I just wanted to say that because my son was wayward for so long, I was involved with so many LEO's over the years. One would think I would be a cop hater, but, it is actually the opposite. Sometimes, I felt more of a connection with the cops, who were just doing their job, and actually, so many times were very compassionate, and only wanted to help, if they could, than I did my own son. They were normal; my son was not. I have the utmost respect for law enforcement. It is kind of bad, though, that so many of them recognize me in passing, and say...Oh, hey, _______'s mom.

Edit: I believe that because of the actions of CCSO and Trooper Barracks "U", is the reason my son is still alive today, and on a better path. I know this is all anonymous, but I am grateful, and sending out a heartfelt thank you to all of you, for working so hard to keep our community safe.

I would go a little bit further and say that when a cop knowingly and intentionally breaks the law, they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law because they know better. They are different. They shouldn't be given a break like the average citizen is in court on their first offense, they should get hammered. At the same time, when it is a questionable incident, I think the cop should get the benefit of doubt because I know that the majority of cops are out here trying to do the right thing and serve the people in our community.

So when a cop speeds without lights/sirens without an emergency call, he should get the maximum penalty by law? Who would turn them in and enforce this?
