Wear a magical government costume?

Don a mask and gloves and claim you were “defending” your family’s property from a woman who committed the crime of running out of gas in the middle of the night.

after officers responded to reports of a screaming woman and a bat-wielding masked man

Wearing a mask to protect his father's property? Seems just a little suspicious to me.

BTW, this is NOT about Little House on the Prairie Walnut Grove in MN.

Lots of cops believe they have the right to be jury and executioner. A deputy sheriff here in Houston is on video kicking a perp in the face after he had tazed him. He kicked him several times. His story is that he kicked the guy in the arm. Yeah, right.

Just the 95% making the 5% look bad.

“Grove said the felonies and the firearm enhancement would prohibit Thompson from resuming his law enforcement career.”

Thank God for that. Now toss his ass in the slammer for the next 20 years. He’s also ripe for a civil suit to strip him of every nickel of his assets including his pension.

"To his credit," Grove said, "he admitted guilt early. Hopefully, he can get on with the rest of his life."

Who gives a blank about the rest of this guy's life. Just goes to show the disgusting, incestuous relationship between DAs and Cops. A regular person who dons a ski mask and beats a woman with a bat would have the DA screaming fire and brimstone.

How long do you suppose he’ll stay on “paid administrative leave” ? Until he gets out of prison?

"We can prove he went down there because people had been breaking into his father's vacant house," Grove said.

That may be his story, but this defence attorney can't actually prove it, and the prosececutor can point that out....

...oh! my mistake (It's good to be an offiser of the lore)
