Woah, woah, woah! You cannot be serious. You are 64 years old and I can’t believe you are foolish enough to believe I was referring to ALL cops? C’mon Tap. Don’t be silly.
I never said any such thing. Rather, I was referring to the 6 cops that were caught on video tape beating & tasing the life out of Mr. Kelley. To my knowledge, you are the only FReeper to make such an assumption from my post.
Please be advised that I grew up in Fullerton, CA. I still have family that live there a visit them often. I even know a Sgt. on the force (who shall remain nameless). I’m not going to reiterate what I know of and have seen in regards to the FPD. If you are interested, you are welcome to check out my previous posts on this issue on several other FR threads.
Also, I don’t hate LEOs. I hate the criminal element within law enforcement and am very critical of that element. I have several friends from college that work for LAPD, LACSD, Brea PD and even one in the FBI. They are still some of my best friends today and I have the highest regard and respect for them and the job they do for us. But, I am also a very outspoken critic of the double-standards between citizens and LEOs. Sorry, but I call it as I see it.
Now, with respect to my comments to you:
PLEASE ACCEPT MY MOST SINCERE APOLOGY as I did not mean to insult your deceased mother or cast any aspersions about her. I am very sorry and admit that I went too far and my comments towards you were unacceptable and in bad taste. Won’t happen again.

Don’t think a thing about it.....I probably should have realized you weren’t speaking of all cops...it’s just that there are some on FR who have made such a statement in the past. Sometimes we at FR get a little lively. You have a good day!!!
