You know the answer, your post is delusional.

No, I don't know the answer. I'm not at all familiar with the area nor the people who live there. While I could guess that a bunch of black party-goers beat up on a white cop to assist a black suspect to escape, that's all it would be is a guess.

But the cop should have had a buddy call his phone while he was looking for it. The ringing would have given the culprit away

What cop would have his phone set to ring instead of vibrate?

presume to lecture me, whereas I thought I was being charitable to you.

Not my intent at all.

The cop in question was Jarrod Gero, not McCarthy (the spokesman)....

I'm sure the "community leaders" will scream their heads off when the crime rate skyrockets due to a reduction in police presence, if there was any to begin with.

Actually the trend I have noticed, and is purely anecdotal at the moment, is that high crime areas are located right next to police HQ's. Also a family member would deal drugs all the time when a police officer lived right next door, now go figure. Also when I lived near a meth lab, a police officer resided about 100 meters from where I lived. The production levels only got worse and worse before I left. See a pattern?

You mean by only ticketing people who break it? Yes, I agree.

No I mean selectively enforcing laws based on the prevailing political /media climate.

Thanks for the correction.

I guess we could email him and ask him for the inside story:

That's a good point. I'm obviously not a cop.

I've found my own phone many times by calling it. I just thought it would be poetic justice to have everyone denying knowledge of the phone and then have it ring! LOL!

Although if it was on vibrate and the creep had stuck it in his pants or something, he could have nailed the one with the smile on his face.

In reality, it was probably already at the pawn shop.

While that may be true for the suspect who was running from the cop, how does it explain the actions of the party-goers in their efforts to help him escape?

I'm including the partygoers as scumbuckets.

When was the last time that ethnic leaders made a public statement after one of "their own" had been justifiably taken out by the police that "this guy was a menace to the community and we thank the authorities for doing their job?" Or the mother or other relative of such an ethnic perp saying something OTHER than "he was always a good boy?" I'm still waiting to read "we're only surprised this didn't happen sooner...he was always no good and we tried to warn him."

"...warped values..."

There's absolutely nothing of value about this.

Agree. Simply put, Officers are just various shades of Blue. I interpret that color to be that of an equally simple referee suit between everyone else...all races.
YOUR attitude greatly THEIR attitude towards you.
The real b*$(# is that back in the Duty Room, the officer probably got ripped from some gauntlet of supervisor to Captain...

I like how some on this thread are trying to define who is and who isn't an American.

That's hilarious.

These hyphonated Americans ain't going away. They're a thorn in the side of the Republic. And the list gets longer every day.

you ever see "domino"? there a scene in there where a black latino is on the jerry springer show pointing out all the racial subgroups..

*****
Take a look at this...
[she unveils the chart]
Lateesha Rodriguez: Blactino, blackasian, hispasian, OK? Now, for the Asian subcategories,
[to the Chinegro woman]
Lateesha Rodriguez: I got you, sister. We have chinegro right here. That's you. Chinegro.
Chinegro Woman: That's not a word! That's not a word!
Lateesha Rodriguez: Yes, it is, sister. We have koreagro. Japegro, OK?
[Crowd laughs]
Lateesha Rodriguez: Chispanic, koreaspanic, and last but not least, check this out, y'all... japanic.
[Crowd cheering]
Lateesha Rodriguez: That's how I flow with it!
Jerry Springer: Do you believe the government should recognise these racial subgroups?
Lateesha Rodriguez: Yes, Jerry, I do.

Interesting find:

http://www.childtort.com/pages/attorney/milne.html

Goffigan, et al. v. Academy Homes, et al., Suffolk Superior Court, C.A. No. 95-5997B.

As reported in The Boston Herald: "Nearly four years after 9-year-old Jermaine Goffigan became the city's youngest murder victim, his family has been handed more than half a million dollars to help heal its wounds. The landlord of the housing project where "Manny" Goffigan was shot to death on Halloween, his birthday, has agreed to pay $550,000 to settle a suit brought by his still-haunted family. 'They (the owners) were in the wrong. But why should someone have to lose their life before they wake up to what they need to do,' said his anguished mother, Deborah Haskins, surrounded by photos of Jermaine and her other kids. 'This isn't going to bring my son back. No type of money could do that. But it can help the rest of my children move on,' she said. The family's civil case was scheduled for trial in Suffolk Superior Court next month, but last week the sides agreed to settle. Haskins has argued the project, Roxbury's Academy Homes I, was unsafe and the owners knew it. The site of several shootings, and the murder of another boy a year before, Academy Homes had no security patrols and its surveillance cameras were unmanned after 5 p.m. The project was so dimly lit, residents referred to it as the 'dark side,' said the suit against Academy Buse, the owners, and Loring Smith, the manager."

"The individuals who shot Jermaine were able to walk nonchalantly into the heart of the community, start shooting and then exit the way they entered without any fear of apprehension,' said Chris Milne, one of the family's lawyers. 'Basic security measures would have prevented this,' he said."

"The settlement agreement sets up a trust for Jerome, now 16, who was devastated by his kid brother's death." See Andrea Estes, Slain boy's kin to get $550G to settle suit, BOSTON HERALD, OCTOBER 16, 1998, AT 7.
