How this conversation has avoided the Spin Zone is beyond me.
You've had multiple interaction with the cops, and they were ALL jerks, huh? What's the common denominator?
My dad said "if you run into a jerk once in a while, remember that people have bad days. If you are ALWAYS running into jerks, then you're the jerk."
Most people go their entire lives without a significant interaction with the police.
God bless you. We are all fallen, but only some choose to see it, and fewer accept the hand He extends.

Some people claim there are only about 10% of LEO that are corrupt, violent, viscous, or terminally stupid.
Others claim the number is about 25% and rising.
It matters not. Whether 10, or 25%, that number is an abomination. The fact that unions protect this percentage of the force that is nothing but pond scum, one millimeter - if that - higher on the scum list, than child molesters, ruins it for the rest.
In the age of Rodney King videos, these incidents go viral and forever destroy the credibility of the ones that behave with professionalism.
That the municipalities don't go for jail time when one of their own behave worse than the offenders, just lowers the little respect left and leaves America with a toxic view of the government.
Well, the good news is that corruption, ineptitude and abuse of the defenseless are limited to law enforcement. Just think of the outrage if the medical, legal, banking, clergy, teachers, coaches, buisness-owners, parents, relatives and others were also less than perfect.

Then don't comment if you are not going to listen to the evidence.....
When a clergyman gets caught with his you know, where it shouldn't be, he gets defrocked, and often indicted.
You failed to provide any response to the actual point.
Of Course, the other mentioned are not specifically exempted and granted immunity for their crimes.
When a banker gets caught raiding the coffer he goes to jail.

The legal system is ANXIOUS to go after business owners and others when they commit crimes but fear going after violent psychopaths with badges for some reason.
When a cop crosses the line and commits crimes against the society he was empowered to protect, he is the criminal and no amount of pansy-azz, hand wringing will change it.
And you fail to understand or acknowledge the wagon-circling, obfuscation and stone-walling that occurs in the other fields. If you think differently, try discussing a teacher behavior issue at your kid's school and watch the NEA spring into action.
When a teacher gets caught screwing a child, the teacher gets indicted. The union goes bananas but who cares?
When a teacher's behavior rises to the level of assault with a deadly weapon, come back and show me how any union wagons circled could help them.
As for priests, the church is paying dearly for that mistake and appropriately so, IMO.
Looks like the city is paying out if this is same incident.

You are off by 250 miles....
This happened in Springfield IL the Capitol.
My bust.
I thought you were done posting in this topic![]()
If I did not correct you everyone would think this was the case involved.
I edited the post to avoid confusion although in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.
Really? Has the name Sandusky made the local news where you live?
Yes. The local and national news covered the fact that Sandusky is doing a full book in prison though Personally, I think a strong rope and tall tree were much more appropriate.
Paterno got fired but died before he could be sued to death.
Penn State IS NOT a Catholic institution and Sandusky WAS NEVER a priest.
Penn State also faces 60 MILLION DOLLARS in fines to the NCAA and loss of game revenue and playoff/bowl game revenues, for allowing it to go unpunished for so long, which means they are paying dearly for it also.
So why did it take so long? Did you notice any wagon-circling or other delay/cover-up tactics when reading about it?
When the story broke, which means those responsible lost control of the press, so to speak, all hell broke loose and no amount of wagon circling helped.
The abuse history has been around for years, and only recently moved onto the national scene. The successful wagon-circling kept it out of the papers. In any event, LEO's operate in a different realm than most. The few bad cops will always be a tiny percentage of the bad criminals they must deal with. They should be punished the same as everyone else, but anybody involved in LE knows that the first strategy of any crook/thug/molester/bystander with an agenda or nothing else better to do than try to gather FB followers or Youtube hits is to accuse the cop and also knows that a very high percentage of all claims are BS. As a result, those in charge of finding the truth face a difficult task. BTDT.

Were it NOT for a private individual and their video cam, there would have never been a Rodney King video, to go viral on the news and start all that trouble. The LAPD, like numerous other police agencies, behave as if the law does not hem them in, until and unless, something happens to force them to acknowledge the incident, lie about it and then stonewall for as long as possible.
The phony warrants are an excellent example. Cops make **** up to get a judge to sign the warrant then go fishing, expecting to find something, anything to jam up someone, rather than face the questions about the questionable warrant application.
Those guys need to go to jail to send a clear message about the law applying equally, to everyone.
