Let the hippies march for politics, Coconut. ;-)

[Coconut: not an insult, saw your username. A buddy of mine from Hawaii in 13 weeks of one-station-unit training at Ft. Lost in the Woods. I was much older than the rest and had to pull the big, young man off of several others. He turned out pretty danged straight: great man.]

I served under General Livsey as a lieutenant in 8th ID. He is a good man and a genuine hero. He was awarded a silver star. He is/was a war fighter and would have lead us to victory in the Fulda Gap.

The police should have walked away when they learned the bill was resolved. It was clearly a misunderstanding. No harm no foul. Now they look like pansies roughing up an 80 year old national hero.

What kind of nation have we become when real men who fight and bled for our nation are arrested for crap like this.

The army and our nation have gone to hell. God have mercy on us.

If you actually believe the police.
7 patrol cars for an 84 year old man?
Disgusting.

Looks like we're becoming a nation under an effeminate, couch potato police state.

victim tried to withdraw complaint, but police refused

Is that how these things are normally handled?

How are they going to get the victim to cooperate?

Looks like some police and psychs need evaluations for obsessive/compulsive urges, panic attacks and possibly schizophrenia.

As far as I know, if someone declines to press charges then there is no charge to press in that instance.

We are a totalitarian fascist state and the police are doing things like this to terrify the population.

I think you completely misread the posters comment.

As I saw it, the poster was indicating that it’s the cops who all need to undergo psych evaluations.
Anyone with a modicum of intellect could have handled this better that these cops did. An 84 year-old war hero deserved way better treatment than he got. Now, just like a mini-Waco, the PD is trying to figure out out to extricate themselves (and the city) from what’s coming. Just hope that they can’t “shoot, shovel and shut up” here.

Sounds to me like the General is in a lot of trouble.

Sounds to me like nine pussy cops are lying pussies.

The minute he (by the admission of his “loyal aid”) grabbed the drivers arm, he was breaking the law.

Falsifying a police report is breaking the law, too...

All I see is the Cops who over reacted to the whole situation filing multiple BS charges trying to pull their ass out of the fire.

I sense a big lawsuit.

7 cop cars ? Good thing the good general wasn't in his 60s. He would have probably kicked all their asses.

You seem to be taking this awfully personally. In all likelyhood the truth is somewhere in the middle. But, according to you, and correct me if I’m wrong, The General is just a sweet old man who wanted some chinese food and half the police force showed up, bullied him and violently arrested him because they wanted the wonton’s for themselves?

You, as well. Which branch of law enforcement are you in, or were in?

No, according to me, there's such a surfeit of cops and law enforcement types that every time a peasant sneezes the wrong way, a pack of LE coon hounds show up like it's Senior Skip Day in high school, and proceed to create themselves "a situation".

"Bedgood said he left to pay the food bill in person at the restaurant, and when he returned, police in force had Livsey in cuffs outside with individual police units stationed at several intersections in the neighborhood."

I suppose the "individual police units stationed at several intersections in the neighborhood" were necessary, in case the former general had a couple of armored infantry companies in the area to rescue him...

Really, Artemis? REALLY? You're going to defend this sort of response?

You should truly be arguing to defund this sort of response, just like a Founding Father would.

"Falsifying a police report is breaking the law, too... "

I saw a $30 fine for that in one jurisdiction during the '90s. Police departments seldom bother with with a citation for a false report. Most municipals and counties favor the "nosy neighbors" policy and have done so since the '90s. Feminist influence on civilian police organizations had much to do with it (domestic violence advocates and the like). Whatever keeps them from doing their real job (thefts, trespassing, vandalism, etc.),...

My mistake. Thought you were talking about false reports in general. False police reports are seen as municipal/county damage control in many jurisdictions.

YOU DON’T TREAT A RETIRED GENERAL IS SUCH A DEMEANING FASHION. EVER. PERIOD.
