maybe not with this exact scenario. but officers will internalize this. we internalize everything.

no matter how much of a d!@k another officer is, i'll always trust him more than any citizen on the street. it's just the way it is.

cops will see this more as a departments reaction to public outcry and think that they can get fired for relatively nothing. few will see that this cop was truly in the wrong, which even i don't given the totality of the circumstances.

right or wrong, cops stick together and identify with their own.

After thirty years on the street I don’t have a problem with this guy getting fired. Squared away cops will be glad this clown is gone. The drones will snivel and whine like they do about everything.

Am I correct in interpreting your remarks to mean that you are a cop? If so, I strongly urge you to find another line of work. If you cannot see that this cop was 100% in the wrong and that Brett Darrow was 100% in the right, you have no business wearing a badge. We don’t need cops like this guy, nor do we need cops who make excuses for them as you have done.
