Absent video the correct response to any cop on the stand should. <br /><br />Whoppee. No video! It didn't happen. Defendant is released!<br /><br />IT should stay that way untill they can prove that they can clean thier own house. instead of thier usual response. Put them on the head as long as no video comes out. Then if it shows up.

The government said? Well hell, that calls everything to question and this case GFB wrote about kinda supports the fact that the government pretty much embellishes the facts as evidenced by what this thug cop did and wrote as well as his partner. I don't believe that shit anymore man. As long as these cops keep lying like they did in this case, why would I or anyone else accept those stats are reflecting the truth? I mean, the victim in this current case was going to be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, which we know is not true. If it wasn't for the 3rd party's video tape evidence, then he would have been included in your inflated stats. Until we have body cameras on these officers, I will never accept those type of stats are being accurate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-85037071039053504492013-10-26T15:18:20.011-05:002013-10-26T15:18:20.011-05:00i have to agree. the cop needs to be in jail.

I'm telling you straight up, this has a mood to it that I've never experienced. Like I said earlier, if that poor guy had been a brother of color, Dallas would be burning down right now. In that case, I think we'd join them (except we really don't know how to riot...lol!). This is just horrible. I've seen upper class folks going off on Dallas officers (verbally) just ridiculing them on this latest news. Not all cops are bad.... I get that but there have been too many instances of police non-sense in a short period of time here in L.A..... errr Dallas.

Why is the hell is this police officer walking free? Why did that judge not sign to arrest warrant? Man, we really are living in a police state. Why have they not posted that Judge's name and district? How come we don't have a picture of the cop that shot that man. My face would be on the front page of the DMN. Why are they protecting this thug cop? I'd like to know what he looks like so I can run like hell if I ever see him in Dallas. This is a bad rub folks and these people here in Dallas are really getting pissed at all these police shootings occurring here. Dallas might burn if they fail to charge that cop. If that victim was a brother of color, that would have set this town on fire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-5626144975608312902013-10-25T13:37:11.731-05:002013-10-25T13:37:11.731-05:00I doubt you're very sorry, 12:38.

Further, correlation is not causation.<br /><br />I've consistently said that you can't look at single-year fluctuations up or down. You have to go by long-term trends and right now crime is at 40 year lows. Nobody expected crime to go down forever. Maybe it has plateaued, maybe not, but one year's survey data proves nothing either way, anonymous sniping notwithstanding.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-84021151198031860312013-10-25T13:10:34.451-05:002013-10-25T13:10:34.451-05:00If there is no victim, there is no crime.

Well, well, well, how funny that this might correspond with the recent "smart on crime" de-incarceration effort advocated by Grover Norquist, Jerry Maddon and, of course, the liberals. How long is it going to take for everyone to figure out this simple concept: you lock criminals up, crime goes down; you turn criminals loose, crime goes up. Duh!!!

Like in your previous post you discussed the dangerousness of the job, I still continue to wonder is every civilian out their with their hands in their pockets or holding a dark object really a threat to every cop. Look at this story from CNN about police killing a 13 year old kid for playing with a toy gun on the sidewalk (http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/24/justice/california-fake-rifle-boy-killed/index.html?hpt=ju_c2).
