Four Fullerton police officers have received suspensions in a case in which two of them were reputed to have humiliated a woman they had been called to help and who they thought was unconscious, Chief Pat McKinley said Friday.

The disclosure came after parts of a confidential memo sent by McKinley to the City Council were made public.

Surely Not! That would mean that these paragons of virtue aren't the shining beacons of righteousness that everyone has been told to beleive! My world view has been shattered and shall never be the same again.


How long till one of the automatons comes forward and defends these sacks of shit and thier outrageous behavior? Until we hold our public servants to a higher standard, we get what we deserve.

I don't get it. The woman faked the whole thing and entrapped the officers?

So wrong. So bizarre. So hysterically funny.

Been there done that....

Guilty of Farting Farting is a natural body function. We all do it. But how would you react if someone did it in front of you and didn't apologize? What if that person was accusing you of a crime? Check out this guilty farter. The British police are investigating a complaint from a family who claim that a police officer farted in their home and didn't apologize. The family was being raided for drugs at the time. A male officer apparently farted in the hallway. They complained, saying the officer was rude and unprofessional. (Or maybe they were guilty and wanted to turn the attention away from themselves?) Scotland Yard said that the Department of Professional Standards was looking into charging the officer.

Spanish teenager fined £100 for farting at police

Is this the same girl?

A Spanish teenager has been fined £100 after he farted at police officers when they asked to see his ID. The 16-year-old was standing with a group of friends in Bilbao when he apparently turned his back and broke wind. They fined him on the spot. His mother admits the boy passed wind but said that he didn't deliberately aim it at police. She told El Correo newspaper: "The fart was not directed to the officers as he did not even see them. In fact, he was just talking to his friends."

You would think after the "This ought to wake her up" stuff she would have said something if she was awake. That's a boys will be boys thing, crude and sorta funny. I would have give them a giggling tongue lashing right then and there. I don't understand why she didn't.

But the lickin stuff is just plain weird. I bet that's what set her off, and I don't blame her.

if this account is at least mostly true, these officers are not worthy of the badge. Suspension is not enough.

Its not against the law down under!

posted September 07, 2001 03:21 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wind breaker given a break quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Australian man convicted of breaking wind in front of police has had his conviction for rude behaviour quashed. Judge Leslie Ross ruled that such biological events were "involuntary and natural". David Paul Grixti, 28, had been fined A$200 in the Werribee Magistrate's Court earlier this year for offensive behaviour, the Melbourne Age newspaper reported. He took his battle to County Court, appealing against his conviction for "letting the flatulence escape" in a public place. The case against him was based on an incident at Werribee police station last year. On 13 August Mr Grixti approached the counter at the station watch house and, after being asked if he needed help, officers said he "poked the rear end of his body out" and broke wind. Senior Constable Shane Andrew Binns testified that Mr Grixti was staring right at him as he did this, and that his behaviour created a stench in the station. Senior Constable Binns said he called out to the author of the smell, but Mr Grixti simply looked at him and then walked away. A second witness, told the court he believed the "disgusting" act to have been deliberate. But the judge said there was no proof that this was true. He ruled that breaking wind was "quite often involuntary". The fact that Mr Grixti bent over to make the situation "a little more comfortable" was not proof of intent to pass gas. "I don't believe... you can turn that particular piece of human behaviour on at will," the judge said.

How could this woman prove these accusations? Did the officers admit it?

Police officers are good at what they do, but shouldn't be the people dealing with someone attempting suicide. Too often, they lack the diplomatic skill required in coaxing someone back from the precipice. In New York, several cops were found to have encouraged a suicide; when they came on the suicide, the person was threatening suicide. The cops taunted him/her (I forget) and that person went ahead with it. It requires a different mindset to deal with people who are a danger to themselves and most of us don't have the patience to deal with them. A social worker would be better off on the scene.
