This dumbass works with my wife. What the article does not say is that the alleged "victims" are long time dope dealers who are currently under investigation themselves. What was going through this officers mind?


Norm

Like everyone else, he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. He shouldn't be tried in the media, however if he is guilty as charged, he should be prosecuted like anyone else who steals.

Well he did it. He fessed up and everything. Yes he should be treated like any other POS scumbag.

I agree with you that if he admitted he stole the money, he in all likihood isn't innocent. But even without the confession, he should be tried like every other citizen in this country.

Norm, several years ago, there was an officer that was charged with getting a portion of drug money from some dealers while providing some "protection" for them. He was charged and I'm not exactly sure what the charge was and had a pretty stiff sentence. There was another officer also implicated but he fled the city and hasn't been seen since. He's suspected of fleeing to the ATL. but who knows. His name is Levert so if you see him Norm call the authorities. LOL ;)


I'll try to dig up a link to this.

5 years of a career , gone. What a waste.

We just had 2 cops arrested for doing the same type of thing. They were accused of it, so the state set up a sting. Sure enough, they took the drug dealer's money. Now they're in jail.

I agree, but I would like to think he did some good in that 5 years too. He made an error in judgement. I sure hope with his time to reflect that he will realize the mistakes he has made. All the same at one point he probably saved a life or two that would be gone without him. Thats enough to buy my forgiveness. It's not like he was shooting innocent civilians down in the street.

What, an error in judgement? A mistake? How in the hell is stealing money an error in judgement or a mistake? Then all the other thieves made a mistake and an error in judgement also? It sounds like he intentionally stole the money! He doesn't deserve to wear the badge, and should be punished for what he did.

You know what sucks now? All of his arrests will probably be put under the microscope. Once my two cops were arrested, there were quite a few pending criminal charges that had to be dropped due to the fact that these cops weren't considered credible witnesses anymore.
Yes, he may have done wonderful things as a cop before, but that all goes down the toilet now that he has been arrested.

Woah...slow down pilgram. I didn't say he shouldn't be punished. I'm saying he made an error in judgement...and yes all thieves have made an error in judgement by even taking that path. Turn on the light; you might be sitting in the dark :p.

Good point.

If, and I say if, this guy done this he violated his oath, his badge and his community and should be looking at a mandatory minimum three times that of a citizen who had done the same crime.

Error
Function: noun
Text: 1 an often unintentional deviation from truth or accuracy.

I doubt that his act of stealing was unintentional. If he did it, he did it intentionally. No, thieves don't make errors in judgement, they just flat out steal, period!

Maybe you're sitting in the dark, not me.

I'll bet since you use the title "special agent" you must work for the federal government?

So you are saying that because this guy was a cop he should get more time in prison? What about priests, judges, & teachers? should they receive more time in prison because of their jobs?

That is exactly what I said. LE takes an oath to serve and protect, to enforce the law and in my opinion if LE breaks the very laws that they are to enforce they are many more times a criminal than an ordinary citizen. Judges again in my opinion should get life without parole when they blatenly (sp) go against the law, again my opinion. Priests and teachers I really don't have this opinion on and they should be treated the same as any other citizen, in my opinion.

I feel that LEOs should be held to a higher standard and should be made examples of in these cases. Might just be my own opinion and I would like to hear what you guys/girls think about that.

Judges should get more time because they took a lawful oath. Teachers and preiests do not. My opinion. There was a judge a few months ago where I live that got pulled over driving drunk as hell...like .12 and she didn't get any time or community service. Makes me sick. What a great example to all the drunks out there. She said she is going to get some counsling (sp?) and is "very sorry."

I can see your points about cops getting more of a punishment. I don't know how I feel about it. I don't think I can have an unbiased opinion because I work with them everyday.

For once.........

BTW.... Good to see you made it through the storm.:)

lol.... thank you

UPDATE: this is disturbing



The indictment was thrown out today because the "officer" didnt attend the Grand Jury Hearing. The county DA says he probably wont refile charges. The crys of coverup will begin shortly.

Huh? I thought he was a she. occupation: call girl

So should all police officers and everyone else in law enforcement that get pulled over for speeding be hit with the most severe fines?

That's a totally different situation.
