Johnson has been in gummint way too long, and Corbett the Cop’s letter was a testimony to the police mentality on one hand—that dogs and property and freedom of citizens are always less of a concern than the Bumbling Boys in Blue Blowing A Raid Huge getting a hangnail or something, and on the other hand, testimony to his unbalanced state of rationality.

It’ll all, as my bride says.

Google “tony creed task force raid” for the patriotic response to these type raids. (File a civil rights lawsuit). Hopefully Calve sues too. Bush/DC has been giving hundreds of millions of dollars to counties nationwide to form and equip goon squads and militarize police and sheriffs departments. The logical solution would be to hold offending officers accountable but somehow they’ve made themselves basically immune from individual accountability for their actions during raids. So, the only hope is between defending their officers and paying out millions in settlements it will become so costly that even the handful of elected representatives who support and promote our ever-growing problem of third world police tactics will withdraw their support.

Damn! You just gave away the end of the Abe’s Turn story line! I guess there’s no sense in finishing it now. :-)

Anybody up for sending Jack a package? Maybe if he received a “package” he’d be more capable of understanding. When your always right you never learn anything.

…he didn’t think…

I guess that sums up a major consideration for employment in that particular police department, as it becomes plain that a lack of cogitation is evident throughout this whole sorry incident.

I was once taught by an inspiring public school teacher never to utter those words when offering an opinion, lest someone take you at face value, and immediately discount what you have to say. Maybe somebody should tell them that…

In Americka, an appology is taken as as admission of guilt!

Thank you local attorney for such perception/reality! Because such caution was created by them.

I know that I was trained to never even say so much as “are you ok”, nothing humane was allowed, just the offer of professional medical services

BTW the number one reason for follow up lawsuits against any business, is the indifferent attitude that attorneys have trained employees to respond with.

Compassion has been reduced to potential legal action against the company you work for and indeed yourself potentially.

Never having to say your sorry equates to saying “Sue Me”!

They will and do.

So the police opinion is that Calvo no longer needs to apologize to the police because the police are willing to take being no charges being filed against the police as an apology? Awfully big of the police to not force the mayor to actually apologize to them, one of those poor officers may have been emotionally scared by shooting the mayors dogs or something.

I’m not sure that’s what he meant, although now I’m not so sure. The original article said:

Calvo’s home was raided by the sheriff’s office after county police tracked a package of marijuana to the address. Calvo was later cleared in the investigation…

Johnson said he didn’t think an apology was necessary and said he has not spoken with Calvo about the incident.

“Well, I think in America that is the apology, when we’re cleared,” he said…

I interpreted “cleared” to refer to Calvo being cleared, but that might have just been a misunderstanding due to how the story was reported.

I get it now – forgiving yourself is just as good as apologizing. I’m going to start doing that more often – it seems way easier.

These SWAT defenders make Bush look like frickin Machiavelli. They’re so convinced of their rightness that they things as stupid as this instead of issuing even a mealy-mouthed hollow apology. Absolutely evil.

It’s a two step process, Susan. First, you have to understand that you only have to apologize if you did something wrong. Second, the action of being “cleared” means that you have been cleared of any wrongdoing, therefore you are absolved of having to NEED to apologize.

Being absolved of wrongdoing IS the apology itself.

Maybe I’m dense, but I don’t understand this quote:
“Well, I think in America that is the apology, when we’re cleared”
When WHO is cleared? The subject of the raid being cleared by the police or the police clearing themselves afterward?
I guess it doesn’t matter what it means, it still doesn’t sound like “I’m sorry”

dsmallwood: my apologies for misconstruing your comment. My blood usually boils when I read Radley’s blog, and sometimes get a little hot-headed.
