re read your last paragraph as stated. you direct your cop hating towards cops. now step into a police officers shoes try and make a decision that takes most lawyers and jurys weeks. we have to make in seconds with little information I AM not on any horse im just saying AGAIN its not so cut and dry from a video. but people that have had a negative experience with le can use this to bash police. just my 2 cents and i stated before respect is earned not given it stands for both sides.
Respect is earned not given you state? Exactly my point.
My brother was arrested and charged with 7 counts of lewd/lacivious behavior and 1 rape. All the victims testified it was not my brother including the rape victim, except the lieutenants wife (also a cop). One of the victims was friends with my brother and also said it wasn't him yet the LE and his wife continued with their insistance it was him when actually he, I and another brother were out to dinner together and then to a movie when his wife was assaulted. The waitress even testified we were in her restuarant yet the Lieutenant got a warrant and put my brother through hell for two years and $$$$ in lawyers. They finally catch the guy and he resembles my brother but 6 inches shorter and 40 lbs. lighter. Stupid cop.
My wife is rear ended so hard it bends my mint, 1995 LT-1 Fleetwood. The guy puts a 10 year old kid through the windshield. He gets out of his vehicle grabs the kid off the pavement who is throwing up from the head injuries, tosses him back in the car and takes off. He sideswipes another car running. Five people witness this, get the make, model and plate number. Two people positively identify him in a photo lineup. Plates are stolen from his mom's car which she tells police at the scene investigating. He does not even get a ticket. He does not seek medical attention for the boy. He does it again two months later and walks again. He just got arrested for possesion two weeks ago and walks again with no bail. My bet is he is an informant for you guys and is above the law just like you guys.
My son is run over (under the car for 20 minutes before EMT arrive) by a guy with no insurance, unregistered vehicle, stolen plates and failure to yeild for a traffic device. They let the guy pick up his car from impound the next day with $235.00 worth of tickets and a tow/storage bill while he has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on drug charges. My son looses his baseball scholarship to Purdue takes 18 months to rehab and I have $260,000.00 worth of medical bills. I am not eligle for state victims aid because they would not charge him with the misdemeanor of the stolen plates. A friend sees the vehicle at work the next day and calls me. I call the cops and they tell me to "leave my son in ICU, go follow the guy when he leaves work and call them so they can give him another ticket". They are busy!
And you want me to respect law enforcement?
