If the officers acted properly within the guidelines of the felony-stop procedures, then the procedures are wrong and need to be changed.

If an officer is allowed to lie after the fact by insisting he "felt" his safety was in danger, then the fix is in.

Apparently, police officers have no strength in their legs, shoulders, or upper bodies, so they can't close a car door without using their hands. If the officers were unable to close the car door while holding their weapons on the "suspects," they should ban chewing gum while on duty.

I predict the town will be bankrupted by this thing. Or unable to get insurance.

The town will almost certainly be bankrupted by this. As a matter of fact they have already been talking about a 'pre-emptive' bankruptcy because of this case. The prevailing opinion is that there is no way they can possibly win, and if settlement offers aren't accepted, they may have no choice.

Now, a poster above stated how the cops 'can't believe all these crazies coming out against them'. This shows how far out there these guys are, and how self-deluded they can become to stand behind one of their own. Nothing but trouble headed for Cookeville, Tn.
