These good men falling from grace is just proof positive we need larger budgets for police training.
-
I'm sure this was just a mistake he made in his youth, an act of poor judgement that he won't ever repeat. Plus it was done in the past, when drugs weren't as dangerous as they are today.
Did I miss anything?
-
You missed:
1) His rights were fully respected.
2) He will get a soft plea-bargain.
3) He will still collect his pension. -
Sounds like a scam to me.

How's that War on
DrugsLiberty coming along?Have we won yet?
-
Workin' on it, we're getting ready for a surge.
-
This is proof of our need to work even harder to keep drugs off our streets. The allure is so powerful, it's taking down our beloved, trusted public servants.
-
The arrests have also spurred sentiments from police around the county urging the public not to distrust law enforcement for the actions of the few.

I guess now we know why Contra Costa is also drug free.

Did they shoot his dog?
-
I'm sure they're working on it.
-
I are shocked.
-

move along, people...nothing to see here...
-
"PI Moms"?
Sound like it could be kinda hot.
-
Bad, bad cop. Really bad cop.
-
Since it's California, does he still get his pension?
-
Screw his pension, why does he still have his job? I note that he is he on paid
administrative leavevacation. PAID!Still, I don't see how he will be able to spike his pension while on paid leave, so its not like he isn't being punished, here.
-
How do these pieces of shit live with themselves?
-
Win! He had the power to arrest his competition.

*yawn*
