It's been my experience that those who show such malice towards ALL cops are generally those who are only one casual LEO encounter away from being Spike's woman cellmate.Cops stupid? Why would anyone think that? With deathless prose like the above, it shows they are all poets in blue. Philosophers with mace. To see the conversation here elevated thusly, we are humbled. Any lack of direct refutation of sloth, corruption, and double standards is, of course, merely an oversight that will be corrected with blazing brilliance. Any... moment... now...
I truly support our LEOs but I will not countenance misbehavior on their part nor on my own. The brotherhood that died on 9/11 were doing what they were supposed to do, Protect and Serve. I spent 20 years in the US Army so I can identify with another poster above who said you might wonder what your fate might be on any given day.
If this perp can be proven to have contributed to this officer's death in a collateral manner then he should be prosecuted that way. If it is more direct then more power to the DA.
