When a LEO is involved in a questionable shooting, and those in charge of that officer realize a whitewashing of the facts is necessary (to ensure they can continue to get away with dubious shootings in the future), it is usually proper police procedure to promote the shooter to make the whole sordid event justified in the eyes of the public.

Well, Weird Willy, as long as the Liberal morons in Pima County continue to re-elect scat like sheriff Clarence Dumbdick and and the political whore Barbara Lawall as prosecutor, you have no hope. Keep in mind that they are both political positions and are both held by DEMOCRATS. Not “old time” dems, but the “new” type as defined by hate,stupidity, and evil. Pima County is ruled by hard-core Commie/Marxist filth. It would be best to pop those two, but popping a dozen or so deputies would probably stop their abuses for awhile. Might as well do the county commission as well.

I am a grown-up married woman with two young girls, and I can’t say I’d object hugely to my neighbor having prostitutes coming in and out of the house, doing drugs, or watching porn in the living room, as long as he didn’t bother anyone. I might ask the man to draw the curtains, depending on the situation, but really, none of these is a hugely un-neighborly offense. I wouldn’t like to move to a neighborhood with a lot of street-level prostitution or drug-dealing, but that wouldn’t be about my neighbor, but the whole neighborhood.

peck,

I had several similar experiences with Pima County Sheriff’s deputies in the early-mid 1990s. While I found Tucson PD to behave with at least a modicum of professionalism, the bastards over at PCSO were Pigs of the highest magnitude and lowest order. I once was held at gunpoint on the side of a road by a PCSO Pig and was forced to listen to his profane, abusive tirade because he claimed I did not show him sufficient respect when I drove by. I have absolutely no trouble believing any part of your story, and would enjoy being able to read more of it should you choose to post further details.

I heard a bunch of old boys talkin bout how they thought it was time to revive something like the KKK to take care of these kind of episodes. They were saying how the offender would get dragged out of his house in the middle of the night and receive whatever dose of “police brutality” he gave out to the citizen, plus 20 lashes with a bull whip, plus…have the word “bully” branded on his forehead! Then leave him tied to the tree and melt away into the night so his “brother officers” could find him.
I mean…just think about it.
Gave me the chills!

Boyd,

I think they do it to manufacturer some sort of acceptability or normality. Perhaps they think they can use the “but he got a medal” anytime anyone questions the officer’s activities. They assume the medal or award takes some bite out of the atrocity.

With the mainstream media that we have, that might not be far from the truth.

nigmalg, “Officer of the Year” after murdering a peasant is center square in Police Bingo.

People (and dogs) are getting killed by cops at record rates and the best that might happen is a slight procedure change that will reduce the murders a little bit for a little while. No chance of actually balancing the scales with the generations of pigs who’ve been butchering people for so long.

When I first started reading stories here, I would see comments after a fresh episode of police violence claiming the officer would be “cleared of any wrongdoing and given a medal”. I didn’t *actually* believe they give them medals.

Should have taken that more literally.

In1997 in Pima county AZ a drunken violent piece of crap broke into my RV at about 10pm. Instead of killing him, I simply beat the crap out of him. Bad mistake. The bloody intruder crawled off and reported that for no reason whatsoever I jumped out of my RV and attacked him. Meanwhile, I was in bed sucking on O2 and dropping nitro tabs. This shithead, at 38 years old, had a 20 year criminal record. I, at 57 yrs old had no record. Didn’t matter. I was arrested and charged with several counts of agg/ass, shackled and cuffed for 23 days in solitary. Twelve out of 13 deputies involved lied in their reports, lied to get a search warrant, lied to the grand jury, and lied on the stand. Luckily I had an intelligent jury. They were stunned to hear the lies. I was acquitted. The lead Sergeant was advanced to Lt., and the prosecutors patted themselves on the back for a job well done. Costumed thugs are now targets in my book. My survival motto is now “shoot first”. The LE establishment is corrupt beyond saving.

Way back in the day, Officer of the Year was some cop who pulled a child out of a frozen river or pulled a motorist out of a burning car.
That somehow Officer of the Year has now become an award for clumsy oafs who kill unarmed people because the cops screwed the pooch, just points out Justice Scalia’s “new professionalism.”
For publicity’s sake, they should at least have cops take a paid suspension and then some retraining. But handing out awards for this kind of conduct just points out to the public how much we are all screwed.

Where’s Peter Moskos to tell us this is “Good Policing?”

I told you guys, the Professor is not into intellectual growth and change. Believe me, I have tried with him. More than you might guess.
