Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Trooper" robs man as he lays dying

They allowed this snake to plea out to a slap on the wrist this past July so this story may have made the rounds already. Why would the system protect him? Why would his fellow police protect him? If I was a cop I would have spit on him. He should have done the ten years.

What kind of human looks down at someone dying and thinks I wonder what I can steal from him?

What kind of Government would tolerate him getting off?

There is trash in every profession. The history of policing evolved from corruption. Usually given to personal friends of the mayor or other city officials. It became professionalized with the advent of standardized police academy, ethics, a change on the outlook of principles of policing like "Community Oriented Policing" and the "Broken Windows Theory" ect.

I knew of police officers who were hired on the spot. Given a 38 caliber revolver and a "beat" to walk. Any remember the old Call Boxes? These were placed every mile or so that an officer would walk the beat and call into headquarters to note his whereabouts or need for help ect.

The new standards that most agencies adopt in place like the MMPI, Polygraph, Background, Interview, ect help to weed out but cannot guarantee the morality or ethics of a person. What does a thief look like? No one knows because it could be anyone at anytime.

POS

What is the bigger crime?

A. The Trooper robbing a dying man?

B. The "system" rallying to protect him?

I would pick B.

I cannot imagine what would go through the mind of a man in his position, that would cause him to act in the way that he did.

He deserves to be a convicted felon, and apparently is. I would agree that he deserves to have to spend the 10 years in prison, but apparently the deal was struck with the victim's family on board because they didn't want to go through with a trial.

Regardless, that man is among the lowest of the low.

probably happens a lot more often than we know. This guy, his lawyer, and the judge, all need to be horsewhipped. THEN thrown in jail for life.

Not seeing the issue here. The guy didn't need it anymore and the trooper is barely paid minimum wage.

At least he can still become a cop again so long as the state he chooses to get back doesn't prohibit felons from becoming police since federal law provides exemptions for le and mil possessing firearms after a felony conviction.

The Judges and Lawyers meet at the country club to determine the cases. The court room is for acting, it is their stage. Justice in the court room? Ha Ha Ha Ha. Too bad this guy did not get the 10 years to make an example of him.

Why is taking money or possessions from a dying man worse than taking it from the living?

Is is apparent neither group has any way to fight back against the authority wielded by police as should be the case.

Its a shame that some see all negative, and I"ve seen very little of it here, sure you see some, but good judges, courts, and LEO's.

For the most part, though many refuse to believe, they are all human too and so it goes, you will have decent ones, top notch ones and scum. NO other job is ANY different.

GMAFB.

I just don't understand why a person would steal from another person. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Yes on an individual basis that is true. But a collective effort was made here by MANY to help him take a phony plea deal to keep him out of jail. And that is the perversion of an entire system.

Do you guys think this is his first? It is his first on film.

Yep, damn that family for focusing on the negative instead of a positive police story. They were totally in the wrong to complain about this incident. I bet it was just a bad camera angle too, always is.

Not exactly stealing. Police are heavily in to asset forfeiture. Probably thought the perp was dealing in drugs, but didn't want to cause the family any extra problems with charging him so he did the most decent thing he could think of.

Just a bad camera angle. Police always mention that when oen of these incidents come up. That is why only video showing what an officer claims to have happened should be allowed as evidence.

I should have added, for a LEO to do this, he should have been thrown under the bus. They must be, like a LOT of public servants, held to a higher standard.

I'm a volunteer public servant and i'm held or should be held to a higher standard!

You don't have to crawfish here. That family is in the wrong for tarnishing the officer's position.


It is just crazy talk to say police should be held to a higher standard. The traffic tickets alone would bankrupt the lot of them as well as how many would be in jails and prisons. I think you meant "viewed" as being a higher standard.

I'm one of the vanishing breed that thinks God holds us ALL to a 'higher standard'.
As I said before, the trooper, the attorneys and the judge are all scummers.

I'd steal that sweet rifle Rich/ringman hunts with! He better not leave it lying around when we go hunting together!!!
