They need time to come up with creative excuses like "furtive movements" or "dehumanizing stares" to explain why disrespecting a cop earns a death sentence.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/search?q=ferguson+mo&restrict_sr=on" rel="nofollow">More from the good old boys in blue</a>A Voice of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285284153694191831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-77271569244584324602014-08-21T06:12:29.970-07:002014-08-21T06:12:29.970-07:00This is the 2nd time now where you’ve made post th...This is the 2nd time now where you’ve made post that inspired me to come from behind my lurking class and comment. I agree with you whole heartedly on everything you mentioned in this post. The fact he threatened someone alone is bad, but there is video evidence of him threatening someone with the gun. But then I remember the situation that happened in my hometown of Philly a little over a year ago. Fortunately (for lack of a better word) in this situation the cop only sucker punched a woman from behind which was caught on tape. In this case the cop was suspended and ultimately fired, and charged with assault however the FOP appealed and he got his job back. But wait it gets better. At the cops hearing, the judge made statements such as the “video didn’t tell the whole story” and was sensationalized by” played over again by the media”. But the kicker is the judge is married to a police officer, who just happened to be in the court room that day. And when his ruling came down she along with her other fellow officers cheered in the courtroom.FURBOLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953719570523579114noreply@blogger.com
