Regarding your second paragraph, that is precisely WHY I posted the article. I wanted posters to see the quote from the arrested officer, namely:
“You know how many cops I have stopped and let go? Hundreds,” he said. “If I saw a car smashed up against the wall and it was a cop, I would let it go, man. You did not have to do this to me.”
It is refreshing to read of one officer willing to cross the Thin Blue Line. Landru is absolutely correct in pointing out the inevitable war between local police departments that is sure to ensue.
"Reasoning", are ya?
BWWWHAAAAAAAA!!!
"It is refreshing to read of one officer willing to cross the Thin Blue Line. Landru is absolutely correct in pointing out the inevitable war between local police departments that is sure to ensue."
Not between local PDs, local PDs against HCPD.
They're toast.
Hey, forget trying to explain how it works behind the scenes for the painfully naive.
...they're naive for a reason, y'know. ;^)
There is a big difference between the local cops in the suburban communities in Milwaukee County and the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Ofiice. Hales Corners has a small, but professional department. They aren’t going to have any problems with the neighboring police departments — the MCSO, maybe, but the Sheriff Clarke will probably throw this deputy under the bus.
The MCSO are primarily traffic cops and bailiffs.
This deputy was at .22 just a few miles from one of the worst drunk driving crashes in recent years.
Taken at face value, when you describe someone as being “thrown under the wheels” usually thats considered a bad thing. If you were happy about it, you certainly didn't indicate that in your post. Sarcasm, doesn't translate well in written form, and expecting people to be able to read your mind in order to understand your posts is a waste of everyones time. Thats what /<sarcasm tags were invented for.
