"I could have been freaking killed," Lewis said off camera.

I wonder what he thinks about the “1,000 illegal weapons” that the cops say were on-scene.

Didn’t, but when groups of men that don’t like one another there is that possibility.

I’d say he could be a credible witness if his attorney allows him to be. The law is so convoluted nowadays it has become much more difficult to do the right thing.

Just more evidence of our slide downward into totalitarianism.

We thought (knew) socialism was bad. It’s a walk in the park compared to this new threat. If the police can now order any citizen to do what they say without delay or suffer the wrath of a baton or bullet; we have gone down a rabbit hole we may never get out of.

We saw this behavior by the Nazi’s in the 1930’s and now here we are just 90 short years later after the world was supposed to learn a lesson it would never forget happening right here in the good old USA. UnFreakinbelievable!

History may not be repeating itself but it sure is having a dejavu all over again.

Your tagline is telling. Are you trying to divide and conquer?

A 32 year cop veteran and the media reports on a probationary comment regarding him driving a police car more smoothly?

LOL, someone’s desperate to shut this guy up!

He has a long history of being a police officer and a detective. He’s got tons of experience dealing with people who don’t like each other. He’s not saying, yet, how he could have been killed at Twin Peaks.

I saw that too. Kinda like the left screaming about Rubio’s 4 tickets over a long span of time.

Talk about reaching. That just means they have nothing.

Maybe it’s better to air any dirty laundry before he makes an official statement.

It is a very slippery slope. Suppose that you are in an absolutely peaceful protest of 5,000 protesters and some nut gets involved in it and shoots someone. So...are all the people at the protest a party to a murder? By the line of reasoning here...yes.

LOL, yeah, I can see this grizzled, 32-year veteran detective under the glare of the media lights saying, "yes, okay, I admit it, when I was in training, I... I... didn't drive the police car smoothly enough..."

Mountains can be made out of molehiils in the media.

Airing dirty laundry early can help avoid gotcha moments later.

“...The San Antonio Police Department this week released the personnel file of Lewis, who worked for SAPD for 32 years as a patrol officer and later a detective.

Lewis said he served a three-day suspension and was docked a day’s pay after leaving an accident scene during the 1970s. The file indicates the suspension was for “violating police tactics”. An evaluation of Lewis during that same time frame said he needed to show more initiative.

A second report filed by a training officer during Lewis’ probationary period indicated he gave a waitress a hard time about the price of a meal and could not drive a patrol car “without jerking it around”.

However, Lewis repeatedly met or exceeded expectations in repeated annual performance appraisals. The file also included more than ten commendations of Lewis from San Antonio residents, churches and schools....”
*****************************************************************************************************
Jeez, the government authorities in Texas release personnel records from 40 years ago -—apparently in a bid to “demonize” this “offender”. This MONSTER “gave a waitress a hard time about the price of a meal and could not drive a patrol car ‘without jerking it around’” at one more than 40 years ago——oh, the humanity!

So this ridiculous 40 year old material gets released to the public as somehow relevant...but the Waco shooting autopsy results (completed weeks ago excepting perhaps toxicology reports) are not released.

The stench of this latest Waco fiasco grows and grows.

32 years and that’s all they can come up with? As a field grade officer with nothing but “top block” evaluations I am sure I have worse...
