When I was young, one of my first jobs was a waiter in a restaraunt. Policemen would frequently come in and ask if we offered free or deeply, discounted meals for THEM. Thank God, the restaurant owner thought them to be no better than anyone else who dines out(actually the opposite)! If you can't afford the meal, then you eat at home!! I would actually be embarrassed to be trolling around town in search of FREE meals!!....andyAndres Morin IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-57227238979516012902009-07-26T18:40:11.595-05:002009-07-26T18:40:11.595-05:00Wrong Roy.

After all, they took an oath to uphold the law, and they've been given the power of life and death over the public. Neither you or I (assuming you are not a LEO) have made that pledge or have been given that power by the state. They should be given double sentences than any "regular" citizen. Unfortunately, due to their status, they are usually given the HALF the time.Charlie Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-64526493427054855362009-07-26T12:55:59.567-05:002009-07-26T12:55:59.567-05:00Police should be held to the same standard as ever...Police should be held to the same standard as everyone else, but this will never happen.

Police officers are no better than the rest of us. They just have badges and a code of silence that protects them from getting charges. All they get is a slap on the hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-43775662176243044792009-07-26T09:24:29.663-05:002009-07-26T09:24:29.663-05:00This should be a MAJOR concern to police officers ...This should be a MAJOR concern to police officers around the country: behavior like this, combined with slap-on-the-hand punishments, drives down the level of credibility for ALL officers. And, when much of their testimony is basically of the "he-said-he-said" variety, any decrease in their believability translates to a higher bar that must be met to secure convictions, and could easily result in folks looking to further restrict how/when they can use potentially deadly tools like Tasers, pepper spray, and quite possibly their sidearms.<br /><br />~EdT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
