Fullerton PD beat homeless man to death.

Hopefully they get time but they probably wont. Even my grandfather who was a 20 year officer and FOP member couldn't stand 99.9% of the newer generation of police.

And policing is the only profession? Gimme a fucking break. What about the military at the Abu Ghraib? What about any other profession that gives special treatment to others in the same job? I'm sure that you've given special consideration to at least one of your co-workers in your career.

Generally financial analysts don't kill people when they mess up. I'm sure you won't see it like that because you are trying to defend a supposedly professional LEO beating someone to death.

Just like in any other situation, one must consider the totality of the circumstances. If you don't like it, GFY.

I think the court has considered the totality of the circumstances and charged a few cops with second degree murder? Am I wrong? I'm sure that doesn't matter to you though, you are going to puff your chest out and tell us all how you know better.

An admission that you guys do get preferential treatment? Oh my...


Matt, it boils down to this: If cops would stop protecting the sorry pieces of shit that hide behind the badge, if they cracked down on it amongst themselves, if they spoke up against the bullshit, the perception held by the general population of police would change. Instead, you guys protect at all costs the sorry ones, strip us of our money and our rights at every opportunity, and continue to breed the contempt that MANY hold for LE now. As I've said before, even my Korean war vet father in law, whom I hold the highest respect of just about anyone walking, says FTP. When the field of law enforcement has changed to the degree that even this man holds you in contempt, something is awry.

And when you say you wouldn't go quite that far, do you mean you would support maybe just beating the shit out of the guy that was just sitting on the sidewalk when GI bad ass joe cop walked up? Instead of going so far as murdering him? Because that's exactly what they did. They murdered the dude.

[soap]

none of this matters, because the guy was white!!!
if it had been a black guy who got beaten to death. we would all have been drafted by the army, to fight in the 'race war' that would've ensued....

it's fucked up i know, that's just how it is.

No, I'm suprised that people won't speak up against their supposedly "professional" co-workers. You can skip your anecdotal evidence to the contrary, too. No one here cares any more.

I'd hate for you to miss an opportunity to blame the victim. Like anything you are saying here gives anyone the right to beat someone to death. What a fucking joke that you would even mention this shit.

Agreed! That motherfucker totally deserved to die.

I wouldn't go quite that far

I don't recall that detail. I just remember the Honda facing the intersection and one of the officers put the white/purple sheet over the drivers head. It took me a while to realize he was gone. I didn't notice until later that I had cut my hand open while helping yanking on the passenger door. Surreal is the only way I could describe it.

What all was that kid charged with?

I don't recall, because he was a juvenile at the time. I actually work with the guy that was the primary unit that day. He told me that the punk got a couple years in TYC.

That article is crazy, Al.

Another thing that gets me about this ordeal is that the guy is "mentally ill" but his family allows him to be homeless. During his assault, he calls for his dad, the same guy that allows him to survive on the streets. And then this "model father" says that the bond is low because of the brutality of the crime? What a joke. He was a LEO, he knows how the system works.

Unfortunately I watched the video, and the victim doesn't seem too "mentally ill" to me. At first he is able to carry on an intelligent conversation with the "officer" (read: POS) and cries out that he can't breath in perfectly articulated English.

Wow, those are some serious injuries to that officer!


I personally like the two bottom photos. I hope they get to wear those pajamas for a long time.

Did you see me march him up to the Accord?

Exactly...it's the 99% of bad officers that make the good 1% look bad. Seriously...do you honestly think any of us would trust you to admit how screwed up LEOs can be? The biggest problem isn't with the 75% that do a proper job 80% of the time, it's with the protection of their own corrupt and lack of punishment.

So, what is the number of bad officers?

Not even that, it is the blind defense of the actions of the shitty cops..........
