Geez that's fucked, the cops will have many a legal loophole to circumvent any real consequences to their actions though I'm sure.Wabbit wrote:Last Monday one of the secretary's husbands was in a fender bender in a parking lot. The woman jumped out and threw her drink on him. He started yelling at her...as the cops pulled up, they saw her take her shoe off and throw it at him. So they jumped out, but him in handcuffs without asking any questions and stuffed him in the back of the cop car. He died back there of a heart attack.
Ends up he was a 27 year vetern of the police force, retired from there and became a fire fighter. But they never asked him any questions. Just cuffed him and stuffed him. By the time they came back to the car to ask him his side of the story, he was already dead.
Oh yeah...there's gonna be a law suit. Believe me, the cops are gonna get boned for that.
And since he really was a good guy, not a rager at all, I believe they're going to go after the woman that assaulted him too.
PS: Sorry you got screwed.
hows this for "a bad day"
The guy etched it into the back seat of the squad car with his teeth before he croaked.

one question though: how did you (and others) find out about what exactly happened?
Hmm, looks like I had it wrong. He was a cop for 7 years and a fire fighter for 27....my bad http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/morris/in ... xml&coll=1Chupacabra wrote:wow, thats pretty horrible.

There's other people that work here who have relatives employed by the police department.
wabbit stories like that always seem to be altered a little to make sure whatever minute point there is to make holds some real punch behind it.
a) I don't believe she was the one that got agressive without him being a serious ass about the situation.
b) uhm wtf she was the crazy lunatic about to assault him and HE got booked?
point here is the story sounds too one sided, just like any good moral story should be :icon29:
also wtf does his resume have to do with it? ohh yeah another punchline for the moral of the day

His "resume" points out that he wasn't some low-life bum. He had ties to the community as a public servant and people knew him to be a mild-mannered guy. I've known Eleanor for many years. She truely is one of the nicest, calmest people I've ever met and her husband was natured just the same. I know people who've known them both for many years.
It would be pretty astonishing, considering what people know of him, that he would all of a sudden assault a woman over a fender bender. It wasn't his nature or his style. Could it have happened? Sure. Is it probable? I would have to say no.
The accident happened in the parking lot next to a McDonalds (which is where she got the drink from)...there were many eye witnesses that said "she backed out, there was a small fender bender, he got out to look at the damage and she came out of her car with the soda in her hand and threw it at him. After that a shouting match started but he never physically assaulted her." And yes, this info. comes from someone in the police department.

not really the same thing but for instance, i was watching the football game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons which took place in the superdome here in N.O. which was a big event since this was the first time the dome has opened to the public since the hurricane..
One of the commentators said that the dome cost about 150 million to build, yet it took around 180 million just to renovate, which clearly wanted to put a missguided point across since the superdome was build in the mid 70's and inflation was conviniently overlooked to make his little fun fact more appealing for conversation.

Fuck that. He was wrongfully arrested.
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

my god man, you sound like one of them.Geebs wrote:Seriously, "I was probably speeding but I was too busy UNWRAPPING A BURGER WHILE DRIVING to look at the speedometer" is a terrible defence. Getting pulled over for speeding while speeding does not a police state make.
until we're all free to careen around at top speed - snorting laughing gas, mixing margaritas and steering with our elbows, it is a bloody police state. imagine a jackboot - crushing a perfectly good sandwich, forever
how about getting pulled over for the spuspicion of speeding (considering its mathmatically impossible for his radar gun to operate), and then being wronfully arrested, wrongfully imprisoned, rashly impounding my car without just cause (it was legally parked), and denying any compensation?Geebs wrote:Seriously, "I was probably speeding but I was too busy UNWRAPPING A BURGER WHILE DRIVING to look at the speedometer" is a terrible defence.

it certainly didn't feel like fair treatment of a suspect who is completely cooperative and polite. I could understand if i'd thrown feces at him and called his mother a whore... but unfortunately I was at the time under the impression that being nice to the officer would persuade him to return my kindness with an ounce of understanding.
oh, and the cops ate my burgers after they arrested me.
