Kudos to the "fellow officer" who recounted the quote. That's a pretty damning piece of testimony.

It takes guts and a healthy conscience to cross the "blue line" and give a statement that may help put away someone you work with in such a capacity.

Its a good example of LE policing LE and holding each-other accountable.

This is why I dont trust LEOs, fortunatly the vast majority are not like this. Its just hard to tell the good ones from the bad ones.

I don't think any of us can guess what exactly was going through that guys mind. I hate DUI as much as the next guy, but when I first read about this I knew it was going to be a firestorm.

As bad as it may sound this is a great one for the kids, "Don't drink and drive...cause you never know when you might get that really pissed-off cop."

I have always worried that an officer like this would blast a Open Carrier and then claim that he was "twitching like an Addict" and had "Lunged at him"as has been used by other officers to smear OC's

Happily this has not transpired, though several of us have felt the lash of the "Justice system" in various encounters (Vancouver being only the latest).

Seven times in the back...wow.

Dude ... you are way off track !

I couldbe, but try it yourself and see how it sounds. Substitute LEO for Jew or black or any other minority group and see how it sounds. I would demonstrate it myself, but I don't want that kind of language associated with my name.

Did you read both articles and get the full understanding of what happened?

Learn the full story before you come in here and puke on us and throw out the race card .... what happened has nothing to do with race as there are white, black, green, and red police officers..... while you are at it why don't you throw out the gender card too, yeah thats it lets make it a gender issue or how about lets pretend the LEO was gay blah, blah, blah ..... he was this or that does not matter.

Regardless .... he shot someone to death, for no good reason.

I'm not puking on you or throwing out the race card. Go back and read my post again and then read Norman's post where he substituted LEO for open carrier. Does Norman's substitution sound offensive?

So, what are you saying here, erps? Are you saying that Orphanis bigoted against LEOs? Are Leo's a protected class in your view?

Don't get your feelings hurt, erps. I don't trust anybody, including LEOs, until I get to know them.

This is why I dont trust (insert class), fortunately the vast majority are not like this. Its just hard to tell the good ones from the bad ones.


Ithink a primary difference exists thatjustifies the statement regarding LEO. None of the classes, minority or otherwise, have the power or authority to hinder, hamper or even destroy ones life under the color of the law. So to that ends, i would cast justification onto that statement in regards to LEO, or any authority type. If one carries that sort of power, one must then accept that spotlight too.

- Just my thoughts.
