I've been waiting to hear more about this hate-filled, angry, candidate for anger management cop. Until it can be proven, wi thout a shadow o a oubt,m that he is no longer a danger to the public, I'd be loathe to have him in any position of any type in which he is armed in any way. The cop-cam video, shown some months ago, was downright scary and I feel for the kid who had to face him. This bad cop's partner is nearly as much at fault because he did nothing to try to defuse the bad cop's raging.
I'd be interested to know what happened to the partner, as well.
my personal Facebook page, which began as nothing more than a personal diary of sorts, has evolve into an animal welfare and animal abuse page and the many poorly trained, angry, cowardly or stupid cops who shoot peoples' beloved pets are about as bad as the OH cop. These bad cops are shooting dogs in their own yards, in their own homes in wrong address raids, when the dog Is trying to protect its master or mistress from a complete stranger (sometime they're service dogs and marked a such, and they've even killed a 13 yo cocker spaniel) and, more often than not, when the dog is doing nothing more than trying to check out this new person visiting or when the dog Is trying to escape. I'm overjoy when I can post an article about a good police officer or fireman or lay person who saved an animal's life.
I have run into my share of good police officers and bad cops. FYI, I'm a white, reasonably preentable and, darn it, older Ele3ctrical Engineer, and I still have the occasional run-in with what I conside4r a dangerous cop. Fortunately, I've not had the misfortune of running into someone like the OH cop who flew off the handle even before the boy finally got to point out that he's newly licensed to carry concealed. My permit is at the front of my wallet to whip out, first thing, even before my driver's license. I'm reluctant to do that, though, because, with all we've heard about the few dangerous cops out there, it worries me that he woulod want me disarmed before continuing our interchange.
Don't take this a a general badmouthing of all law enforcement personnel, but there are the dangerous ones, out there, and one must be very careful in dealing with all of them, just in case.. As I said, I've also had dealing with good, professional policemen and policewomen and hope very much to have them respond when I need assistance.
The bad ones need to be fired and/or put in jail and the good ones deserve raises, as far as I'm concerned.
