Then they certainly should be able to have their jobs back once they are acquitted, right?

Absolutely not!

What these officers did was criminal, and outrageous, and they are not fit to be police officers. Whether they are able to get some 'OJ' jury to acquit them is irrelevant.

No, not in the least. I don't even begin to understand your mindset in this matter.

You are not entitled to keep your job until you're convicted or acquitted of a crime. You get to keep it until you don't do your job appropriately.

These folks who planned this raid should not be working for a police department ever again. It's no fair to the citizens to plant NO TRESPASSING signs on someone else's private property to provide a cover story for arresting them.

It's no fair to arrest everyone in sight without regard to the reason for their presence there.

You and I have gone round and round on this. So far, things are working out like I hoped they would.

The arrestees have all been let go. Their arrest records are being expunged. Those in charge are being fired, and they are being prosecuted.

This is how it should be.

I am not anti-cop. I'm not in favor of crowds gathering near your house on Saturday night and bothering you. I am in favor of laws being observed, by citizens and by cops. When they are not, people should face the consequences.

No. Poor performance and poor judgement may not be illegal but they certainly are grounds for termination. Right?
