I have read through most of the posts here and no one is seriously attempting to defend this guy.
I think you are being unreasonable to believe you have some sort of inside knowlege on the frequency of police brutality and murder and how much of it gets reported. In fact, you are speculating and have no inside knowlege.
Again, speculation. You have absolutely no factual basis to make this determination. You are now merely providing your opinion in an attempt to further your agenda against police.
From January 2010 through December 2010 the National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project recorded 4,861 unique reports of police misconduct that involved 6,613 sworn law enforcement officers and 6,826 alleged victims.
4,861 – Unique reports of police misconduct tracked
6,613 - Number of sworn law enforcement officers involved (354 were agency leaders such as chiefs or sheriffs)
6,826 - Number of alleged victims involved
247 – Number of fatalities associated with tracked reports
$346,512,800 – Estimated amount spent on misconduct-related civil judgments and settlements excluding sealed settlements, court costs, and attorney fees.

Does that count lawsuits? It is always the city or state that gets sued, not individuals.

Lesson learned.
Never call the police over a family argument.
(unless of course you are in bodily danger)
And ...if you must call the police; ask a neighbor to "puppy sit" your dog.

If you call the police over an argument, you are a retard. There is no law against arguments. I would never call the cops, unless there was a corpse I need cleaned up, after I took care of whatever problem arose.

And to add insult to injury, his jack boots "require" me to feed them at a cost lower then the public and cant even give a thank you for the burden they place on my business. This year, they walked in in the middle of my lunch rush, ordered 25 pizzas and got rather upset that it was going to be 20 to 30 mins before they got them.

Don't forget the most important weapon the police fear the most
The video camera. I use it all the time, and I'll tell you this, their behaviour changes the minute you make it clear they are being recorded. That, in and of itself shows the true nature of the LEO. If they are being filmed and know it, they act responsible (for the most part) other wise it is business as usual.

I didnt realie you spoke for all law enforcement when it comes down to being recorded. Do you go out of your way to create false reasons to get law enforcement to you so you can pull out your camera and go to town with your move magic?

I am not speaking for LEO's, I was relating my experience, I go out of my way to avoid cops. If you bothered to actually read what I said, I HAVE to deal with these people frequently, Last week one of my drivers was at a stop light, the cop passed, turned around came back and pulled my driver over, he "claimed" my driver was going to run a red light. when in fact it is legal to turn on red on that corner, and that he was stopped at the red light long enough for the cop to pass and turn around.

You stated they "required" you to feed them at a better discount, and then you stated you wont give them a better discount than whats alrady given to the public.
Did you intend to lie and mislead the people reading your post?
Also, since you are business, and a private one at that, and since you know the law, why dont you simply refuse to sell to law enforcement? As a Private business you have the right to refuse to service to any person you choose, and since its a private business, you are not required to explain your reason for refusal of service.
Or would that action briung suspsicion from the other group of people you cater to that appriceate local law enforcement and give you business because you "allow" the cops to use your facility and purchase food?
Please, why ndont you explain to us exactly which position it is you are trying to get across here? And if possible maybe you could tell th truth, instead of lieing and mking it look like you are forced to do something that you have admitted you are not.

Yet you dont. Instead you tell us stories about how a cop turned around on your driver because they thought he was going to run a red light? How exaclty do you know this if the officer never stopped the person? We cant stop someone because we think they are going to break the law. We stop them because we have reasonable suspicion or PC that they DID break the law.
It happened at the intersection in front of my store, its hard not to see the lights flashing.
If this really did occur, you were obvuiously not present for it since you said it happened to one of your drivers. How do we know your driver is not lieing? Maybe he did turn when he was not suppose to in order to deliver the food in a timely manner, and lied to you to avoid being punished for being pulled over.
Are you going to give us any examples we can verify independently? You have mislead us once with your statements, why should we assume your not doing it again?
Actually.. dont bother answering. Just like the way the officer in the OP thread is guilty by actions, I will apply the same level of courtesy to you. You lied, got caught lying, then tried to play it off, which is actually beyond what the op officer did.
Huh.. I guess thats makes you worse than the officer.
Anyways.. You have lost your credibility.. Spare responding because all its going to to is force you to dig a deeper and deeper hole you cant crawl out of.
You hate the cops. Nothing more to say.
You make stories up because you hate the cops. Nothing more to say.
The difference between you and the officer in the OP. At least that officer stood by his actions, unlike you.

I did not lie, i used the wrong word. You can believe what you will, I could care less what a thug cop thinks extra DIV

Lets not forget about informants.They are criminals working for the police. They get away with theft, vandalism, etc due to their importance. They even get to do the drugs without fear.

Here we go with the cop bashing again. But theres more to the story that many here are already overlooking.
Kudos to the police officer backing up the mothers claims. Seems that his partner snapped. But he will be tried and if convicted (Let’s hope) sent to prison where he will be lucky to leave intact, if ever. Cops don’t do well in prisons. Unless they were already in cahoots with the guys already there.
Things happen fast and I would bet that the good cop in this situation didn't even know that his partner was going to shoot the man. I would like to know the time lag between shoots fired.
Feel good stories rarely make the news because they generate little interest. If it bleeds, it leads.

Far as I know they didn't need a warrant if the lady invited them in. If the kid was in his bedroom then that might be a different story?
I'm sure he'll get paid leave and then a slap on the wrist unfortunately.
