then test firemen, garbagemen, public school teachers, and local/state politicians for the same substances. or are cops different?

and i don't know where you live, but if cops on steroids is such a huge deal, you might be lucky or you might want to move away. i'm not really sure.

you're probably right for #1. but stallworth gave them tons of cash and that made jail go away for him.

#2 and #3 are relatively normal dispositions. at least in my experiences.

Stallworth should have gotten at least a year. He gets no pass from me just because he is a Cleveland Brown.

Another victory for the Blue Gang.

Holy Crap

I can’t believe i haven’t seen this.
I hope this “officer” is afraid to leave his front door and ALWAYS looking over his shoulder.

[count-your-change]

Was a civil suit filed against him?

Was a civil suit filed against him?

I'm betting that's next. Hope she soaks him.

firemen going around beating people up while drunk and off-duty is a rather large problem around here. you might be onto something. but i think you’d find little more than booze.

If he’d beaten my daughter he’d be DEAD!

“Exactly. Which is why “good” cops are rare, IMO. “

This is why no one respects police officers anymore. They break the law with impunity. They are just hired thugs.

It came out that Tony Reszko had bought this guy a house.

[American_Centurion]

I respect them, because they can kill me and get away with it on a thread-bare story no sane person would buy.

But I darn sure don’t TRUST them, at all.

Waiting for the obligitory “The Police are always right” posters

They must be on another thread waiting for us "JBT" posters.

[Oztrich Boy]

so every drunk, stupid, over-reactive cop is now a juice head

Not every one, but the number of them suggests that chemical enhancement is occuring.

[thefactor]

but we haven’t established that even one single cop in any of these stories was on steroids at the time. let’s deal with the real issues: booze, and short tempers. at least in these cases.
