One of Marks first duties was capturing a father that kidnapped one of his kids from the school. Mark found them. The father had shot his son and then himself. And he found them. Do you know how hard that is? And Mark is an honest cop. Do you understand how Sergeant Sugar Cookie in Vegas makes it difficult for cops like Mark? Corrupt police forces always make it hard for the honest guys. Always. Mark has been a cop for 16 years. He has never shot anyone. Sergeant Sugar Cookie has shot 3 people, killing 2, since 2006. Can you see the difference?
No, it's not. My brother-in-law is a retired sheriff's deputy. He gets a small, well-deserved pension.
Guys like the Stay-Puft DonutRoidRageBoy are a living slur on the careers of guys like my brother-in-law.
>> The father had shot his son and then himself. And he found them. Do you know how hard that is?
I’ve not experienced it myself ... but have heard stories of answering teen-shotgun-suicide calls from my sheriff brother-in-law.
No doubt corruption makes it hard for honest cops. So do activists that second-guess every split-second decision and force cops to fear for their lives and livelihoods every day.
That’s the “anti-cop” part. Too many good cops get torn apart by the likes of Henry Louis Gates for simply doing their job.
In this case, I don’t see corruption. I see a cop that made a split-second call that was justified under the circumstances. It may have been a mistake (it may not have been) ... but, to my mind, it was a justifiable one.
