You might want to take a quick look at the first vid I linked to about the drunk deputy...
Mine was a LOT less than the local LEOs!
I noted that.
I wasn’t attempting to compete with him, I merely asked some legitimate credible questions, which I don’t think he cared to answer.
Take care
Notice how the copper treats a non-cop, even though she is an army soldier...
JLS: “So you don’t have the power to arrest anyone you see committing a crime?”
KJC1: “Of course I do. But what happens next, if it’s a fellow officer in a corrupt department? You tell me.”
My understanding is that the accused would be locked up in a cell until their first appearance at which time they will begin their journey through the court system.
What kind of “MAN” knocks over a mentally challenged, wheelchair bound person? What kind of police department stands behind a so called “peacekeeper" like this?
Answer those two questions.

Too many donuts. =D
A simple example is traffic court. I recently sat in court and heard a cop testify that he witnessed a lane violation behind him, in his motorcycle side view mirror while turning. He yammered on about his training and experience.
The “accused” said that they did not commit the violation AND had a much better view of the situation looking forward and in full control of the car.
The judge took the cops view. They almost always do.
I don’t think anyone approves of an officer knocking a handicapped man out of a wheelchair. While you’re at it can you post all of the good things that officers have done that we’re actually filmed?
1. I dispute the notion that this is representative of most LEOs.
2. I never insinuated or stated the bad actors should not be held to account.
Okay.
I’ll try to keep my jackboot licking to a minimum from now on.
:D
-Wanna bet? And WHY wasn't he fired?

Jsanders: “While you’re at it can you post all of the good things that officers have done that we’re actually filmed?”
-You “good cops” are like the “good” Muslims. You constantly refuse to acknowledge that there's a problem within your own ranks, and when confronted with all the evidence to the contrary, you go into distraction mode, and “Oh look at us, we're the victims”
As a comparison statement: "Look at how much *good* the Muslim religion has done, why doesn't anyone focus on that?
-Well, I think we know the reason, why, don't we?
Like the Muslims, those of you in the “thin blue line” cover up for your bad apples, and you even make excuses for them. Why? -Because I suspect you're *afraid* of the "bad apples".
BlueNGold:
“I dispute the notion that this is representative of most LEOs.”
-Fine. Dispute this case:
Florida State Trooper Who Pulled Over Speeding Cop Sues 88 Officers in 25 Jurisdictions
http://reason.com/blog/2013/01/04/florida-state-trooper-who-pulled-over-sp
88 officers in 25 different jurisdictions.
You want to dispute THAT charge, as a “notion”???
From the article:
Florida State Trooper Who Pulled Over Speeding Cop Sues 88 Officers in 25 Jurisdictions
http://reason.com/blog/2013/01/04/florida-state-trooper-who-pulled-over-sp
From the Sun Sentinel:
Trooper Donna “Jane” Watts’ 69-page lawsuit, filed in federal court Friday, seeks more than $1 million in damages. She is suing more than 100 police officers and agencies, and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The suit alleges 88 law enforcement officers from 25 jurisdictions illegally accessed her personal information more than 200 times, violating her privacy…
Other agencies have already settled with her and so are not named in the lawsuit, according to Watts’ attorney Mirta Desir. Margate, for example, settled for $10,000 after two of its police officers accessed her private information, said Margate city attorney Gene Steinfeld. The two Margate officers each received a letter of reprimand as punishment.
More details on the kinds of retaliations alleged, ranging from sending pizza deliveries to her house to making threatening phone calls, in the Sun Sentinel article.”
Bottom line, just like the Muslims, you "good cops" won't clean up your own “bad apples”. So here we are, the citizens are done fed up with your crap excuses, your lies, and your cover-ups. And we'll keep exposing this abusive crap, until something is done about it.
I’m guessing Trooper Donna Jane Watts was a real looker that every trooper wanted to get to know better...: )
I became a deputy after I retired from the Army because I thought that would be a good way to continue serving. That lasted about a year because, frankly, I could not stand the lack of principles and constant shady dealings I encountered.
I don’t go in for the brotherhood of silence demanded of officers to protect one of their own. I don’t go in for thuggish unions calling the shots. I don’t go in for threats and coercion, especially when someone has the temerity to suggest that my family and friends may have problems if I don’t keep quiet about official wrongdoings.
During that admittedly short time as a deputy, I saw so many corrupt politicians, petty government officials, judges, attorneys, social workers, and, yes, police officers that I can no longer wholesale support any of them. The myth of the “good majority” of police seems to be just that: myth. From what I have seen, I do not believe the “good majority” exists. I know we all want to stand up for our vision of the peace officer of yesterday, but I have found only a handful of them in my five decades of life and seeing it from the inside brought nothing but despair.
I am a law-abiding citizen, but I have seen precious few law-abiding police. The Us vs. Them attitude against both citizens and the Sheriff’s office, the militarization, the presumption of guilt without facts, the shootings of innocent people and animals, the many, many times a police officer throws his weight around because he can, the harassment of citizens just to make sure they understand who is in charge, the raids on the flimsiest of evidence—the list goes on and on. Some police officer over-stepping his mandate to serve and protect is in the news just about every day. By the way, when did “to serve and protect” become “to protect and serve?” The emphasis is important. They’re going to protect you until it hurts.
They could have googled her, like I just did. But I'm guessing that wouldn't give them her home address and phone number, so they could call and harass her.
Incidentally, the National Association of Police Agencies was trying to amend the Driver's Protection Act, so that police can look at people's driver's license information, outside of their scope of investigation, and not face a $2,500 fine, like they do now. Presumably so they can have a look at women like Donna Jane Watts, and not have to worry about any consequences for accessing their personal information. (Story below photo)

She doesn’t look like much to me but her reputation might have preceded her...: )
There’s probably a little bit more to this story...

The system is broken due to lowered moral standards in our culture but there’s plenty of good guys still out there...
Yeah, its probably her fault she's being stalked and harassed. :-/
