For every bad cop, there are hundreds out there who look the other way when the bad cop is doing bad things.

Cops need to police themselves, or in the end they will be policed ... and they won't like it.

He lives in Delaware. He’s probably a liberal anyway...

I was just quoting the AP article where it states he "says police officers beat him up" and he "says he took photos of himself afterwards". There is no substantiation of these claims by a third party that I can read. But why did he flee and what was the scuffle about? Apparently he wasn't cooperating with the police.

Dueling claims. A good scuffle gone bad for the suspect.

Oh, and you're not too prejudiced in your opinion about the police now are you? /heavy sarcasm alert/

If the guy fled and "scuffled" (just another term for fighting) with the police, he was not cooperating for some reason. I repeat, he probably got what he deserved. Was it right? Probably not. But you venture into that territory of running from the police and fighting with them, you're going to run into some resistance. A good "scuffle" gone bad for the suspect.

In my almost 70 years, I have never been stopped by the police, much less arrested. That is not by luck but by design. I follow the law and wouldn't even think of fleeing from the police and fighting with them if they stopped me for some reason. If I did, I would get what I deserved.

That would be a great idea, would put the entire US government in jail. But, as I am intimately familiar with the hurt caused by the Nazi crush of central Europe a few years back, I just want to say you can take your “Sig Heil” and shove it right up your stupid ass. Your responses indicate to me that your opinions about the police are based on repeated contact with them, which usually indicates a criminal ideology or an emotional imbalance that causes one to go out of their way to antagonize them.

I am not going to engage with someone any further who already thinks the cops are the bad guys because they claim he fled. So have a great day Conspiracy guy.

For every bad cop, there are hundreds out there who do their job properly and according to the rules cover up for them.

I fixed that for you.

You chose to believe the cops claims, I chose no to.

I'll give citizens the benefit of the doubt, not some government union goons.

Luckily, not everyone accepts that logic. If we did, then we'd have no oversight of our police forces...since anyone who questions them MUST be a criminal.

With a bare outline of what happened, reported by the AP of all people, it’s curious that so many folks on here can automatically know that it’s the citizen who is in the wrong.

I agree...he chose poorly. Running from the cops is a bad idea, regardless of complexion.

So, this guy fired a gun in a residential neighborhood and then resisted? You're going to jail bloody.

Unless that's not what happened?

Serpico is garbage. He just gave his first interview in years...to Al Jazeera.

Guess the old crackpot needs some cash.

Your statement reveals that you are obviously not only not very objective about cops but that you are also prejudiced against them. You don't make a very reliable witness or observer, as a result.

Like I said, go soak in your conspiracy juices awhile longer. You're almost pickled.

Waving good-bye again.

You didn't fix anything. All you did was to expose your bigotry and prejudice against the police.

See ya', wouldn't want to be ya'.

I figured the shots were fired by some angry father or grandfather after Plugs hit on their daughter/granddaughter.

I’m with you! Cops can do no wrong. If a cop wants to remove your teeth, you deserved it! There is nothing a cop can do that you didn’t deserve! If they decide to shoot you, you were asking for it. These are not men, they are GODS, and like God Himself, never have failing judgement, anger, or ever act illegally. Say a cop wanted to rape your mom. She shouldn’t have dressed like that! B**** DESERVED IT!

Cops are perfect and never do anything wrong. We are on the same team, you and I.
