Turns out the guy he assaulted was an attorney. oops.
i am going to give you the best racket from a state cop that i ever knew. he was a lieutenant and hung out at the entrance of the Calahan tunnel. the guy used to pull guys over for outdated inspection stickers. he would pull guys over even if there was nothing wrong with the sticker. he would impound the car and have his brother pick the car up with a tow truck and bring it to his family's tow lot next to Suffolk Downs. at the tow lot they would rip off the sticker and take a picture of the empty window to present in court. at the time this violation came with a $50 ticket. if you chose to fight the ticket in court, the officer wouldn't show up for the hearing. the judge would make the violator wait all day for the officer to show up. in the middle of the afternoon, the judge would tell the mark that he is continuing the case because the officer finally called the court with some type of excuse for not showing up. the judge would give the mark the pager number for the officer to set up another convenient day for the case to come up. at that point, they would try to shake the guy down for more money and promise to have the case dismissed.

10 years later, they finally caught the officer along with about 10 other staties. they got arraigned and thrown off the force. but i never heard of them getting convicted. they probably got the case squashed.

The Metropolitan District Police in Mass.

i actually forgot about this fine group of law enforcement. they were a second state police force like they actually needed one. i had a friend that ran for governor, i told him to run on the first thing he does when he gets elected was to defunct the MDC, he won as a Republican., he won 2 terms easily. what a great man Eddie King was. he beat a sitting governor, Mike Dukakis who turned out to be the Democratic Nominee for President that lost to Bush senior mainly because his campaign manager got caught with dirty tricks and had to step down as manager. incidentally, the guy Trump had, Paul Manafort, was excellent. if he didn't get in trouble after the election, Trump probably would have won again.

Eddie King did merge the MDC with the State Police. everyone thought it was impossible to do, yet he got the job done. imagine if the MDC was still around, i doubt this state would have had all those high-tech and biotech companies in this state. there were guys that committed multiple felony murders that got off because the MDC mysteriously lost the evidence.

this stuff still goes on today in many police departments nationally, but with the advent of high-tech surveillance, its a lot tougher to get away with this stuff. i have seen plenty of police corruption all over the place, but nothing comes close to what Mass. looked like. these cops here had every trick under the sun, the rest of the police forces throughout the country were schoolboys compared to what went on here. .

Lambo, the numbers don’t bear out any problem with police.

Don’t buy the bullshit.

Btw, Chauvin was taught to use that knee maneuver in the academy. It was a sanctioned tactic

I would actually like to talk some of these Liberal Idiots in circles, but can't because they are too busy doing it themselves. And they are too stupid to realize it.

you never know what a jury can do to you, but a defendant should never plead out. this female officer was very fortunate she caught a smart judge that read through this and did the right thing by her. more than likely she came out better this way than if she had pleaded out.

Agreed.

Damn good judge.

The court TV talking heads thought she should get the max sentence or walk free. The said it should have been all about intent. I think the sentence was appropriate, maybe it can be used as a learning tool.


I wanted to throw a brick at the TV when people were talking about Daunte Wright like he would have amounted to something great. He was pretty much on his way to years in prison.

She panicked and had a mental lapse under stress, nothing more than that.

How anyone could see that coming after a 26 year spotless record is beyond me.


Here is an idea, don't commit crimes and obey commands from police. I have a feeling you don't have anything to worry about if you live by those rules.
