Aside to Jason: I imagine that most of the negative comment karma you’re getting is the result of you including the link to your blog in every comment. Protip: that’s spamming. Your name is already a link, man. The best way to get people to your site is to make insightful comments so that they’re interested in hearing more from you. Dropping throwaway one-liners with a link to your place at the bottom just turns people off.

So there is SOME good news out there.

Same pathetic excuses were used tho – marital troubles.

These reporters should know better than to harass our valiant network of made men when they’re trying to go about the business of bullying and stealing.

Not paying close enough attention, I reckon.

By meaningless, I mean a charge that doesn’t really say you were a danger to anyone.

If I found myself on a jury today (how that would happen I do not know), I would nullify without a second thought.

The county can make all sorts of arguments about how there was no wrong doing in the Calvo case, procedures were followed etc, and that they should be entitled to a presumption that the internal investigation is sufficient.

However, Calvo can say that the county can’t even properly investigate and police a cop with FOUR DUI’s in a year, including a hit and run. i.e., we should not give PG county any deference.
Unlike discussion of “procedures,” fourth amendment rights etc, a jury would have NO problems understanding that four DUIs is a clear double standard.

No, they’re just being scrutinized the way all police departments should be because of a few high profile cases.

Cops are cops, the way Dunkin Doughnuts are Dunkin Doughnuts…

This guy was suspended WITH PAY in february for driving drunk in a PATROL CAR while off duty. Those charges were dropped after the arresting officer ‘conveniently’ didn’t get the mail notification to appear in court.

Go ahead! Get busted DRIVING DRUNK in a COMPANY CAR… much less a Police Cruiser… and see what happens to YOU.

Next!

“On July 27, also in Laurel, Parrish was charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving and other traffic offenses.”

Wait! When did his license get suspended? He wasn’t convicted in the first one… Also, I assume at this point, that he’s STILL on PAID LEAVE. All charges but the driving with a suspended license were dropped by a PLEA BARGAIN. What possible Plea Bargain? Here’s what I think happened:

Police Union: “Let him off with the lightest possible sentence, and we’ll see about getting you reelected.”

Prosecutor: “Ok!”

Next!

“On Sept. 9, also in Laurel, Parrish was charged with driving under the influence and failing to stop after a motor vehicle accident. That case is scheduled to go to trial in February.”

Wait… “.. failing to stop..” The guy was in a HIT AND RUN? And he’s STILL on the force?

Then the most recent one, where he passed out at a gas station at 2:30 in the afternoon with a blood alcohol level of .29 … apparently he’d been drinking vodka all day. “A half pint” according to him. …right….

“Parrish is assigned to the 6th District in Beltsville. If the internal investigations into the four incidents find no wrongdoing, Parrish would still have to be cleared by a departmental medical board before he could return to duty.”

WHAT!!! How is that even an option?

Is the “we take this seriously” statement mandatory when cops do wrong? They never say that when investigating a rape, robbery, or murder. Do they not take them seriously?

The article contains a spewing of help being offered to the ass wipe cop, because his mommy died, and his (probably spousal abused) wife left him (poor guy). I have never heard a cop crying for a civilian DWI suspect, because his wife left him.

This is my favorite part “If the internal investigations into the four incidents find no wrongdoing, Parrish would still have to be cleared by a departmental medical board before he could return to duty.”.
I guess what happens in his two upcoming trials will have no bearing what so ever. What are they going to be investigating internally? He has already been arrested 4 TIMES over a legal limit of alcohol while driving in less then 1 year. Is it even possible that any non-ass wipe would be free from a 4 wall barred door hotel?

Is PG County, MD really the most inept, corrupt, abusive, infamous, grisly, conspiring, bumbling, laughed at, hell hole police department in the entire US?

Would any Agitator reader consider a move to Prince George’s County, I know I would not even if they would offer me a new job and a house for free.

Yup. I know at least two people here in SoCal who still live with their parents (they are mid to late 20s), but one drives an ’08 BMW 3-series and the other has an ’08 Lexus is350. I harass them at every opportunity.

That aside, I find it amazing that one police department can so consistently make the news with their fucked-up antics. You might need a new category specifically for Prince George’s County, Radley.

High Five.
