Wow, same deputy. I’m surprised the Sheriff’s Dept. hasn’t fired him by now.
The majority of cops are just bullies with a badge.
Sounds like junior was a well-known trouble maker. Not that it excuses the officers' actions but it might be interesting to find out why they were so PO'ed that they threw all good judgment out the window.
Where the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye?

Getting back on topic now, what are your thoughts on the actions of the police in this case?
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, but I wouldn’t feel bad if one day I read that cop took a bullet to his brain from some perp he was trying to bust. That’s just sick. The word “Nazi” is bantered about lightly these days, but if a cop is willing to pepper spray a child because his Mom asks the cop for a warrant after he illegally smashes down her door, what else can you call him?
Your little effin weasel ran into the bathroom. Of course you support such evasion of the law. This is a big big deal for you. And don’t forget your main platform which is to legalize all drugs. That will cut down on crime for sure. Legalize meth, legalize heroin and crack.
The police should have chilled and gone after the little weasel the next day with even more charges. But since they are not perfect like you psycho-delusional libertarians he lost his temper. If I were the judge I would dismiss any and all actions against the police here. Let the parents suffer from the sins of their punk ass son
You can look up my comments giving the police the benefit of the doubt in many cases, fighting long and hard even to defend the cops who shot the Arizona veteran and let him bleed to death after they found him crouching in his own home with a gun.
But damn, you write like a Nazi. Kill any gypsies lately?
I think the corn got the sh-t kicked out of it for suspicion of possession of drugs.
Over four years from incident to an appellate decision?
Our justice system sucks.
Police say Deputy Craig Billings was off duty, out of uniform, and driving his personal vehicle when got into an altercation along a Sulphur street early Saturday morning.
They sure are adamant that Billings was on his own time. AFAIK, no arrests were made and no charges were filed.
Check out the original article. Mama was asked to bring her little darling to the door but instead she demanded to see a warrant. Everyone is a wise guy today right? And they learn half of that from TV. They all know their rights but none of their responsibilities and nothing about good citizenship which come to think of it is the libertarian ideal.
Me in this situation? I get my kid out of the bathroom, take him to the front door and let the cop charge him. I don’t say “Where is your warrant?”
Your contempt for common sense and common sense civility is idiocy. Go off and pray to your flying spaghetti monster god of libertine anarchy. And to your gods of cocaine, meth and heroin. Your new world drug order where you figure it will be a goof to laugh at the poisoned and the brain damaged.
That pesky Constitution really gets under your skin.
Not justifying the cop...his actions can't be justified...but I would really like to know more about the history between the kid & the cop.
Judge Terrence L. O'Brien wrote for the court. "The intended arrest was for a traffic misdemeanor committed by a minor, with whom the officer was well acquainted, ...
Refusing to stop & fleeing gets lost in the tail light issue somehow; but if the kid knows what the cop is like, then I don't blame him for fleeing. And fleeing a misdemeanor also doesn't rise to this level of response.
Fine. The Mom’s a bad parent. So her kid — the innocent one — deserves being pepper sprayed?
You are one sick bastard.
That’s right: Anyone who is concerned that cops are smashing in doorways and spraying children with pepper spray has to worship the gods of cocaine, meth, heroin and the spaghetti monster.
I think their actions were completely unjustified. I think they lost control of their emotions and suspect it had to do with the little delinquent getting away with carp too many times. That doesn’t excuse them and because they have demonstrated the inability to control their emotions, should lose their credentials.
Most of the rest of the citizens of the US would disagree.
