There's no explanation or justification for this. When I was a deputy, I always tried to foster a good relationship with hospital staff. They had the ability to ruin my night when I would take someone there for treatment on the way to the jail. Besides, if you were nice and polite, you could get a couple of phone numbers.

You get a mix with cops especially in small towns. Some are just dicks who think they write the law like this $#@!stick. Some are great and I wish there were more of them. Courteous, able to make good decisions. Unfortunately I think the trend is to hammer protocol into these guys minds especially in this lawyered-up society we live in. Critical thinking and judgment be cast aside.

I remember when I was a kid, in high school and before that. I had run-ins with cops. I wasn't a degenerate as a kid but I could find myself in trouble at times. I was lucky, some of the $#@! I did back then might have warranted a felony today and that's a shame for today's kids, they can't be kids now and learn life's lessons without making the front page.

But the cops I had run-ins with were decent, they recognized that I was just a dumb kid doing dumb $#@! and just put some fear of God into me then sent me off on my way. The way it should be as far as I'm concerned.

Cops like that give the decent ones a bad name, I hope she sues his ass, until there aint no sue left in his ass. What an ass.

I don't get why he went off like that. She was being very professional and trying to tell them how to work through the situation.

I don't know that officer's history, so I'm not prepared to say that he should be fired, but he certainly should face a substantial suspension.

If he is kept on, he should be demoted and start at the bottom and be totally retrained, even then, he may remain a liability waiting to happen.

There are regs pertaining to discipline. He can be suspended, but still retain his seniority. Yes, he should receive remedial training.

I like to believe people can and do change, but his obvious powertrip is likely to ingrained to change much. If he remains, the odds are a near certainty that he will act in a similar manner someday.

Another poster stated that sheltering cops like him from consequences hurts the credibility of the PD. I agree, BIG TIME.
