Not Conservatives for lying to my face that they are "small government" types then blow out the deficit or big mouth opportunists like Trump. (and no, he is not my hero, lol)
Of course there are some bad cops. It would be insane to think or say otherwise. Of course they need to be removed, disciplined, whatever. Who makes the case they shouldn't? My biggest point is that that many cop haters here and in the nation instantly assume if a cop is involved, and a person dies, the cop MUST be guilty. We have seen it here time and time again, a major rush to judgment. It has been ME, along with Mari and GaG and a few others, to wait for all the facts are in to pass judgment. The cops should not be above the law but they aren't below it either. EVERY citizen should be considered innocent until proven guilty.A few weeks ago, Santa Ana, CA police raided an unlicensed pot dispensary. They disabled all the video surveillance cameras in the store. Gee, why would honest cops do that? Wouldn't they want to preserve their by-the-book procedures?
Unfortunately, the too-stupid-for-any-other-job morons didn't notice one camera which then caught them "in flagrante delicto." One cop was caught on camera eating edible marijuana, while a female cop who was trying to prove she was "one of the boys" joked about kicking an amputee "in her fucking nub."
Santa Ana Police Chief Carlos Rojas tried to explain away the cop eating in the pot shop by saying "it’s not uncommon for officers to eat their own snacks while they are at the scene of a lengthy investigation."

That has to be the lamest excuse since JD tried to explain to his cop daddy how he "accidentally" shoved dad's Monadnock up his own ass.

... and didn't you already post this story?
If you did, shame on you Johnny! LOL
The whole incident could have been avoided if the shop had operated with in the guidelines of the law. The shop even received a cease and desist order, they were warned to stop breaking the law and chose not to. I will blame the "victim" any time the "victim" knows they are breaking the law.
Hey, lets blame the police for not being nice.
and remember, "they can't unrape you", either.
It's a Blue Brotherhood cultural thing.
Time for the "copologists" to weigh in, I'm sure
