Ex-stripper sues RI chief accused of taking cash - Yahoo! News good luck finding the good guy here. i dont think there is one
imho i dont think either one of them would qualify as the good guy.Is the stripper the good guy? :confused:
It's an isolated incident, he was just trying to get home at night, excuse, excuse, etc., etc....
It's comments like this that make INGO unbearable for many coworkers that I have told about the site. No one has even tried to defend this officer and yet, you wish to start throwing this bull**** out there.
Theft is theft, regardless of who commits it, and should be punished through the court system like any other crime. The fact that this person is/was a LEO should have no bearing on what the final punishment is.

Your point is well taken, but you do realize that there are reasons such posts are made, right?
Except, it isn't. Arson isn't arson, assault isn't assault, dui isn't dui, etc. when done by a member of The Brotherhood. I guess you probably know that though since you used the word "should" in each sentence. A serial arsonist whom was a member of The Brotherhood isn't going to jail because his safety trumps mine. There are two, very clear, sets of rules. The Brotherhood and the mundanes.
Yes, I realize that there are reasons these kinds of posts are made. There is a vocal minority on here that hate cops and anything a cop does. CarmelHP doesn't usually fit this category, but he did here. The vocal minority actually sound a lot like a racist would. Comments such as, "I wish there were more like him", "I know a few good cops but most...", "Another JBT," only work to further the divide between cops and citizens. Even worse is that the jabs are aimed at cops like myself that visit this site, not at the ones trying to cover crap up.
For a vocal few to spend time searching Google to find stories of cops doing criminal things shows their true intentions. A cop stole a fleeing prostitutes money in Rhode Island? What the hell does this have to do with gun ownership or general politics in Indiana? The OP hates cops because he was arrested on false charges years ago by one cop, again, like the racist that was robbed by a black/hispanic/white/indian/etc. years ago and tries to justify his continued hatred by finding every story of an individual of that same race doing criminal things.
There has been a rash of teachers being accused of criminal (usually molestation/child pornography) things, both in Indiana and around the country in the past few months. No one is making posts of all teachers being crooked.
The reason any behavior is defended at all is because, as a cop, I believe that all others are in the profession for the same reasons I am. I like to help my community and would never do anything to lose the trust of the citizens that I come in contact with daily. The law-breaking LEO's do not read these threads, only those of us that have many of the same values as the other members of INGO.
