Dammit, I was working on my response before him but editting on my iPhone make me slower and last to respond. :(

Funny how whenever cops do get busted they get such amazingly good deals out of the DA. 6 months for this shit?

Video gone, have another link?

donde esta el baño de libertad?

What? No, I love cops! Why do you think I hate cops?

Thank you for this.

Being the daughter of a cop I am well aware that there are douche bags on the force. However, they are not the norm. I'd say 9/10 police officers I know are very caring and only do what someone else forces them to do.

Not to mention the fact that most news outlets villify the police. The whole story is never released to the public. An officer will shoot and kill a man who was charging him with a knife, and the public reaction is "Why did he have to kill him?! It was just a knife!" Well, guess what, general American public: an attacker with a knife only has to be within 20 feet to kill someone with a holstered gun. Meaning a police officer cannot let an attacker within 21 feet of themselves or they risk being stabbed to death.

An attack like this happened on my dad's police force a few years ago. A young kid had been aggressive and violent towards his family. He was armed with a butcher knife. When his father called 911 he even asked the operator if he was allowed to use deadly force if his son tried to attack him or other members of his family. Police arrived on scene, tried to talk the kid out of his bedroom and to put the knife down. He comes out of his bedroom wielding this butcher knife and has a stand off with the officers. They tell him to drop the knife and he doesn't listen. They were just a hallways length from the kid, well within the 21 foot striking distance. The kid attacked the officers and got so close to killing one of the officers that the officer's gun belt, shirt and bullet proof visit had been slashed open by the kid's knife. He was young (17 or 18) and the officers gave him more than enough opportunities to put the knife down. He didn't listen, and he forced those officers to kill him.

And what happens after this? Every news agency in the state says the officers killed this kid in cold blood. He only had a knife, they could have used none lethal force, etc. The kids family saw dollar signs and came out to the public sobbing and crying and saying their boy was an angel who never hurt anybody. The police just didn't try hard enough and they ended up killing their precious little boy. They sued the department AND WON because the department knew it would be cheaper to settle the issue than fight it, even though it's officers did everything correctly.

Did the accounts of the slashed shirt, gun belt and vest ever end up on the news? No. Did the audio tapes of the confrontation that proved the officers did all that they could to get that kid to put the knife down before using lethal force ever get released? No. Only people who work in the field or have loved ones in the field seem to be privy to this information.

No one ever posts the stories about the police officers who buy cookies for little kids on his lunch break, or the ones that save stray dogs on their beat and take them to no kill shelters, or the ones that carry stuffed animals in their patrol cars so they can give abused and frightened children something to comfort them, or the officer's like my dad who will give money to an elderly woman who was a victim of a scam so she can get home to her loved ones when all he had to do was write up a report on the crime. No. No one EVER talks about these stories.

And then we get to hear pieces of shit like you, Cheney, talk about our loved ones like you have any fucking clue as to what we go through. I bet you've never been to an officer's funeral and seen the heartbreak on everyone's face. I bet you've never seen an officer who hated himself because a man or a woman FORCED him into a situation where he took that individuals life.

Yes. There are bad cops and they do stupid, cocky shit that gives every officer a bad name. But there are also amazing officers who would put their life on the line for anyone who needed their help.

It's a shame that the good men and women like that risk their lives for assholes like you, Cheney. Like Whut said a few pages back: take off the fucking tin foil hat.

What exactly have I done that makes it a shame I am protected by the law?
