However, what I CANNOT understand is why his own force didn't put him on a discipline board and kick him out for, at the very least, bringing the force into disrepute.
The police are above the law. They do what they want when they want.
We had a local officer who respected the kids, teenagers and their parents. Inturn every one had respect for the officer.
He was not a pushover and would professionally deal with certain unappropriate behavior.
Unfortunately he was taken off the streets and given a desk job.
Since he left our area his replacements have been an absolute nightmare.
1st idiot they sent had been demoted from 2 other areas.
To call him bent was an understatement. This from other officers that had asked for transfer from local station.
2nd bully was a 5'2" sargent and his side kick a shorter PSCO both hiding behind an uniform. It is rumored that they suffer from SPS (small person syndrome) and were bullied in school.
They have lost the respect from majority of law abiding people, and more disturbing the total lack of respect for the younger generation.
The above sargent is well know in the area for using his pepper spray on anyone ,including genuine ill people hospitalized under mental health act.
They are experts at fabricating evidence and on more than one occasion its been proven in court, but the are still out on the street causing havoc.
Its totaly outrageous how police forces have stopped so low, then again it keeps their initial arrest rates high.
I no longer have any respect towards the police and the police state have no respect for the public.
As for complaining about these so called police officers, its not worth the effort because it falls on deaf ears.
This has been confirmed by reputable solicitor.
