--SNIP-- This comes as two NYPD officers were yanked off the street Friday as cops and the Staten Island district attorneys investigated the stunning death of a suspect placed in a banned chokehold. The officers were slated for desk duty pending completion of the probe into Thursday’s death of Eric Garner, 43, as he was brought down by five NYPD officers outside a Tompkinsville beauty parlor.

“Loss of life is always a tragedy,” said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton at a City Hall news conference. “Nobody began the day with the expectation it would end the way it did.

LOL...what’s a “psychological”?

Anyway, for all your bravado, I suspect that act EXACTLY AS ME when stopped by a pig - you do what you’re told.

If not, I sure hope you don’t have kids (that love you).

Does FreeRepublic have subscribers in the nation’s lockups.

Define lockup?
If that definition includes disinformation boiler rooms; yes more than a few!

Sorry, but I have to agree with the others here on this. The ‘good’ cops are far too willing to look the other way for the bad cops. They choose Team Blue over right and wrong. If a cop doesn’t choose Team Blue, like the FHP officer that stopped a Miami piglet going 120mph to his off duty job, they are hounded out.
LE stood up for Officer Harless of Canton OH. They even gave up sick leave so he could keep getting paid.
Officers stood up for the cop who decked a woman at some festival, because someone else splashed him with water.
LE actively seeks ways around our rights, like the fake 911 story, and fighting to have the right to go through cell phone data at will. Their motivation is to get around our rights, not ensure they PROTECT our rights.

Any group will be tared with the behavior they allow their own. And LE is very willing to accept bad actors. I can’t help you with that. All I can do is what LE officers won’t do, call out the trash among you.

And don’t even get me started on that SWAT trash.

I’m a cop and I’m subject to random testing.

For steroids?

[Celtic Conservative]

No, controlled substances and alcohol.

I respect your service, but what I fail to understand is how these bad cops are let off with a comparative wrist-slap. Why do the good cops put up with it? If I read a story tomorrow that these two new desk jockeys were beaten within an inch of their lives by unidentified fellow officers I’d stand up and cheer and a tiny bit of respect would be restored.

God Bless for your service. I spent 24 years in the military and am convinced I couldn't do your job - I'd be too prone to defending myself at the cost of some of the rules. I know a few cops on each side of the line - the good ones are rock solid. The bad ones have emotional coping problems as a general rule - a lot of aspects of life scares them and fear is usually complemented with anger.

Too bad so many are in the news for really bad crap - stains the good ones too. Be safe.

Wonder how they justified it to themselves.

Here's some samples:

Yeesh.

The VC in the pic was a mass murderer, an assassin going after South Vietnamese police officers and their families. There's little doubt the man who shot him was on the VC's hit list, too. He mostly definitely needed to be shot.

Here is the story.

Yes, we know. See post #31.
