Sorry DeputyDawg, but I just gotta say "HUH"? If you work in LE, then of course you are more knowlegable than I am about the inner workings. I only spoke from experience and that isn't the experience of being arrested or in trouble with the legal system at all as I am a 47 year old who has never been in trouble or arrested in my life. It was merely in my dealings with particular officers. Won't say more because that is water under the old bridge now......
Please do not misunderstand my comments on the new Police Chief. I was NOT pointing fingers at all. Merely making the observation to those here that he is NOT familiar with his employees at this time because due to the death of the long standing chief from cancer, he's only been on the job for 3 weeks.
Thanks for your insight to the legalities of how agencies handle incident's with their officers. I, too am curious to see why SP was allowed to remain on the job after the domestic calls to his home and especially after the incident on Florida. How that one got justified is beyond me. Can you imagine being the one responsible for him being allowed to return to work and how that person or panel of people must feel now if indeed, SP is found to be responsible for harming Theresa.
I am NOT bashing LE at all and I hope you did not mis-understand my post. They put their lives on the line daily and I agree with you that most are 100% true blue and loyal to their profession.
Just wanted to make that clear to you and others.
