Cops are great

Yeah, you are not right on that take. Off duty doesn't change his status as a police officer it just means his hourly rate is suspended until he clocks back in. 

I understand that but he was not in uniform or on duty at the time. That’s all that I meant. It doesn’t matter because robbery is robbery

Cops, politicians and anyone wielding the power of governmental authority should be held to a significantly higher standard than your typical citizen.

Yep. But with how society is structured, it hardly ever works that way.

San Francisco police sergeant charged in Rite Aid robbery

A San Francisco police sergeant was charged last week with second-degree robbery after being arrested earlier this month for alleged robbery at a Rite Aid in San Mateo, according to a report.

KTVU reported that Sgt. Davin Cole is expected to be arraigned on Thursday. Cole was off duty at the time and allegedly armed with a revolver, the station reported, citing court documents. The station, citing sources, reported that he never pulled the gun during the Nov. 3 incident.

Cole, a 27-year veteran, was placed on unpaid leave pending an internal investigation. He is also accused of resisting arrest. 

Anthony Brass, Cole’s lawyer, told the station that his client has been dealing with an opioid addiction that started after he suffered a bite from a K-9 in 2010.  He said it was a "sad story all around."

Brass and the police department did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. He told KTVU that his client "managed to be a high-functioning addict."

 

Terrible that let himself get so low, but shows the effects of addiction

Everyone should be treated the same, but cops doing stuff like this is really bad

Should he get extra time because he's a cop?

Here's a nice quote from one of the conservative tokens, David Clarke:

Quote

"It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault, you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility.

When an officer says "Put your hands up," then put your hands up! Don't reach for something in your pocket, your lap, your seat. There's plenty of reason for a police officer to feel threatened, there have been multiple assaults and ambushes on police officers lately. Comply with requests from the officer, have your day in court. Don't mouth off, or fight, or refuse to comply... that escalates the situation.

Police officers are our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. They're black, white, brown, all colors, all ethnicities, all faiths, male and female, they are us. They see the worst side of humanity... the raped children, the bloody mangled bodies of traffic victims, the bruised and battered victims of domestic violence, homicide victims, body parts... day after day.

They work holidays while we have festive meals with our families. They miss school events with their kids, birthdays, anniversaries, all those special occasions that we take for granted. They work in all types of weather, under dangerous conditions, for relatively low pay.

They have extensive training, but they are human. When there are numerous attacks on them, they become hyper vigilant for a reason, they have become targets. When a police officer encounters any person... any person, whether at a traffic stop, a street confrontation, an arrest, whatever... that situation has the potential to become life threatening. You, Mr & Mrs/Miss Civilian, also have the responsibility of keeping the situation from getting out of control.

Many law enforcement officers are Veterans. They've been in service to this nation most of their lives, whether on the battlefield or protecting us here at home. They are the only thing that stands between us and anarchy in the streets.

If you want to protect your child, teach them respect."

~ Sheriff David Clarke

Pretty funny. I expect half the board to agree with this bullshit.

It's only funny if fringe crazies agree with it. It's scary when a large portion of the population effectively wants a police state.
