These hateful comments made by those people show the direction of our country. It is truly sad that they are so quick to lump all law enforcement officers together as one. Isn't that what they have been complaining about for a hundred years? All officers are not alike. Those of you who have made those racist comments are no different than the ones you so quickly call racists. .

[wonderlandgirl3]

too bad the guy only got one cop.

@Pill88Dickle I don't see why you people wish death upon the people that keep kids off drugs and safe. Ignorant bastard.

@gigololounging CORRECT! Never feel sorry for any cop since they are all criminals hiding behind their badges.

[toddyallen33]

@gigololounging HOW TRUE. It is worse now in Iowa since every cop has a taser and use them when they want to. Our Supreme Court ruled they can only use them when their life is in immediate danger, yet they keep tasering people all the time. They tasered a severaly disabled man after he was stuck in the had with an aluminum bat . . . for NO reason. This will cost our city BIG BUCKS once the court rules against them.

@guitarcapo EXACTLY!!! If one cop is bad they ALL are bad. They have a great cover for all their crimes.

[toddyallen33]

@ragall1 Even if an officer does NOT commit crimes, he is VERY aware of his fellow officers who do. This makes them all guilty. Look how they've been caught lying to back each other up in court. Look at the mass of violence they are taking out against citizens and what these actions have caused tax-payers. If an law enforcement officer was honest he wouldn't be in law enforcement.

I came on down in 1993. I live in Naples and work in Fort Myers every day. The cops here are racist and pull blacks and hispanics over without any more probable cause than the color of their skin. They're all about collecting money for traffic tickets and "confiscating" law-abiding citizens property to fill their pockets.

It's that southern "good ole boy" problem. There's a lot of voting tricks going on electing the sheriff in that town going on too.

@mrz46951 Your pig friend had no business going into that house and violating 4A. Wait till the bad guy comes out into the open and then make the arrest. This knocking down doors and invading homes and businesses MUST END! It's moronic tactics and many more cops will be struck down if they don't wise up.

[gigololounging]

Pigs don't do so well when the hunted shoots back eh scumbags? Unless you are rescuing hostages, stay the fuck out of homes and private dwellings. You want to play Rambo and go into a house that could be rigged is plain STUPID! Review your tactics MORONS! Wait till the bg comes out in the open and then take him.
