The video was edited and released by the woman’s defense attorney. Do you really think he didn’t put it to together to elicit your exact response?
When I watch the video, I see officers eating, but I don’t see anything that shows what, or where the food came from. (I didn’t listen to the audio because my profound hearing loss makes it worthless) Quite frankly, if Santa Ana Police Department has fomented such an atmosphere of corruption that officers are comfortable stealing, and consuming a controlled substance in the presence of several other officers, the department needs to be disbanded. This alone makes me doubt they are eating pot laced treats.
What the female officer says is offensive as a public statement, but she said it in private conversation with people she works with. If we secretly recorded your conversations would you ever say anything that might reflect poorly?
As for the recording equipment, if you watch, an officer places the video recording device near the front door. I got the impression he was taking it as evidence. If that is true, there is, or may be a reason to remove the cameras.
The media accomplished what they set out to do, continue to make all law enforcement look corrupt, and stoke distrust. We won’t hear the outcome of this if Santa Ana PD establishes that everything in this video is falsely represented, but this story accomplished what was intended.
Yeah! You’re right! Tell it to those cop haters!
These cops aren’t corrupt, the video just makes it look that.
Let’s wait for the whole story!
Don’t people believe in “innocent until proven guilty”?
Geez, what has happened to Freerepublic?!?!?!?!
Why go after the cameras if you are just interested in the dvr machine itself and its contents?
