That statement right there proves you don't read but small parts of my posts you dumbphuck; the parts that get your pink undies in a knot. You ignore the rest.

No bottle...don't need it...the stupidity displayed by the resident cop-haters is enough entertainment for me.

Not a cop hater here. But, you could be a good argument to be one. Maybe TRH is right.

You girls post away.

This is the last cop thread I'm going to post on.

Too many jailhouse lawyers posting as "concerned citizens". It makes me nauseous.

The nausea overpowers the entertainment value of your wildly speculative opinions and notions of what occurred.

Good then STFU and GO AWAY!

As only your opinion is the one that matters, right?

TRH is often right....at least as often as magnumbdouche is wrong. Which is often.

Kids in the car...some of you here just lost your man card...you know who you are.

That cop lost his man card also. I hope he has a Merry Christmas

Come on we need the rest of you bleeding heart liberal to surface. Hasbeen

This is page eight on the format I use.Magnumdud is usually "sworn off for good" by page 6 and back in the mix by page 9.

This deal is so indefensible that the members here who are good cops are leaving it the hell alone.Even TRH counts it as beneath his dignity to remark on it.

And......... the kids being in the car are the deal breaker for ANY right-thinking person.

Pretty much.
Quite an abundance of badass mixed with bold faced hypocrisy on this thread

As I said before, I'm not a cop hater,,,,but, cops are a different breed from a few years ago. I've got good friends who are, were cops, and you couldn't tell the difference from anyone else. They would look like any other person you would see on a daily basis.
Now, I can pick a cop in 10 seconds, he'll be shaven bald, have a pair of Oakley's tucked up on his bald head, walks like he's got a corn cob shoved up his ass, looking for someone he can pick on. The "Terminator" comes to mind.
Excuse me, I have ZERO respect for this kind of "cop".
Whether it's trained into them or some other ego driven trip, they've lost a lot of respect in my eyes.
This is what I see when I read this kind story.

Who's "we"..? Your strongest dog in this fight just pulled out do to nausea..

A couple years ago I went to a local lumberyard to get one item.I knew exactly where it was stocked.My watch said 10 minutes til 6 which was closing time on Sunday.

The doors were open and there were shoppers in the store,but a local city cop was standing outside.As I started past him,he said the store was closed.I pointed out it was not yet 6 o'clock.

I can still see his arrogant expression as he said the store was closed when HE said it was closed ! I demanded to talk to a store employee.

He told me that if I didn't leave RIGHT NOW, that he would arrest me for criminal trespass.This is the only time I've regretted having a CHL.I knew he would arrest me,and I'd lose it for a period of time.

As I walked back toward my pickup,the PA system announced that the store would be closing in 5 minutes!

I was at the store next morning and saw the manager.He apologized and said that the PD sent whichever officers THEY chose, leaving the store no choice.

I told him that if I ever saw Officer Martinez at that store again, I was calling the corporate office. I haven't seen him.

This guy obviously should have been washed out of the training academy early on.But there's lots more like him,you can bet.

In my view that is a lot of what is wrong in present day America. We tend to let the little crap slide until it gets big. Then it is a big problem, not a little one and it is across the board, not just at the local WalMart. miles

I don't feel one bit sorry for the consequences that befall a thief caught in the act of thievery, but the law doesn't generally permit lethal force to prevent the escape of thieves. Seemed a pretty reckless use of deadly force, at that. No doubt I'd be in jail were I to duplicate that stunt under identical circumstances, so the same should apply to a cop.

The story reads that the cop shot into the back of the car, after it pulled away. The driver may well have been a threat to the officer's life prior to the time of his drawing and firing, but cops are not privileged to execute folks on the spot for their crimes. That's not self-defense.
