False imprisionment, IMO, but IANAL.

[fr1]

This thread will be useless without pictures... that is... unless this thread gets fugly.

[fr1]

Dang, that sounds like a good idea. Stupidity insurance.

[fruser1]

This is the problem with the “militarization” of police. It’s not about the equipment they have, it’s about the attitude shift of considering someone an “enemy” as opposed to a “suspect”.

[nonliberal]

At least he didn’t shoot her dog.

[nonliberal]

I like my solution better. Any settlements are paid out of the police pension fund.

[Lurker]

If that were my wife this thug wouldn’t be cashing too many pension checks.

[Does so]

Rossi said Rose became very aggressive and she told him to wait at the door so she could go get a cell phone.

...or a firearm...

[BBell]

Did the officer bring a police moose with him?

[bert]

the fact she was naked is irrelevant

she resisted arrest. those that resist arrest suffer the consequence

I’m calling BS on her story. Her daughter came to the shower to say the police were at the door, and she grabbed a TOWEL to go to the door? Why didn’t she grab some clothes. How many of you answer the door wearing a towel?

She is more concerned with going to get a cell phone than getting clothes, a robe, something.

Where is the ex she was supposedly having an argument with? Who called the police? I am thinking this was possibly a set up for a law suit.

Just think about how high the premiums would be for the average Lib. They could never afford it.

[mouse1]

I call BS too. Also domestic calls are some of the most dangerous

[The Antiyuppie]

But he DID NOT shoot her dog.

I’d say she got off lucky.

[silverleaf]

Excellent idea

[pepsionice]

Well...we’d bankrupt that fund fairly quickly. This would force the cop, his local boss, the city, and a bond agency to all participate in his behavior. My gut feeling is that once you assign some risk of behavior to a guy and his cost level goes up....he’ll get out of the cop business and go back to his main duty....mall cop.

Rose said. “When a cop shows up, you’re not the one in charge. I don’t care if this is your house.”

If he has a warrant, yes. If he doesn’t, the opposite is true.

[Theophilus]

The proper poise of an Officer of the Law in the presence of a lady.

[Enlightened1]

Headline should read,

“Psycho Perv Cop On The Prowl Abuses Authority To See Woman Naked”

The fact that he retired means he is guilty. The D.A. should prosecute and it should be an automatic forfeit his pension.

[ForAmerica]

Why did he not get arrested for sexual assault?
