A) I can't believe Dave didn't post this thread first

B) I don't think even the cop apologists are going to make an appearance in this thread. Usually what they do is take some blatantly illegal/immoral thing cops have done, claim we can't understand their job, and give the ol' "It's not illegal if cops do it" excuse.

In this case it's a little too blatant even for them. Well, maybe not for Savoyboy, he'll probably pop in to claim this is the first illegal thing an on-duty police officer has ever done and we shouldn't be so quick to judge.

I guess I'll bite the troll bait. Since when is there an excuse to rape people?

Edit: This is assuming they did rape her and she isn't lying.

Parody/sarcasm fail

:^D

Haha, no shit.

I should have put a few dozen 😛's in my post.

I was just making fun of the cop apologists.

No you should have just put "/Jlee" behind it. 😛

 
Assuming this is true, the court should make an example of these cops. When you're charged with serving and protecting the public and you break that trust, you need to be punished hard.

I don't think that is fair. JLee is very guarded with his comments. Most times he basically tells all of us to reserve our judgment until until all the facts are in and asks us to put ourselves in the cop's position. I don't think I've ever heard him make excuses.

aside from the fact that the are scum, are they completely retarded?

how in the world did they think they could get away with it?
forget the fact taht they were caught on camera leaving and entering twice. were they thinking she would be too drunk to know and remember?

the cabbie, if not able to ID the exact cops, would've been able to witness that he handed her off to 2 police officers. the dispatcher would be able to ID the 2 cops. there's the possibility of DNA evidence (although none was found).

have they not been watching CSI?
what idiots...

To be "fair," the average cop is never expected to be the sharpest tac in the drawer.

astromanluca does it all the time apparently, its cool as long as you are stressed, or maybe if you are feeling a bit depressed, or maybe even if you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, just go rape a drunk chick and you will feel much better.

well, now that you put it that way. Think I'll go looking for some drunk chick....
 
Man, if I was charged with rape everytime I banged a drunk chick...

Edit-Just read the first paragraph of that article and FTR none of the chicks I banged were anywhere near that drunk.

So you've had sex with semi-concious, vomiting, girls who were over twice the legal limit.

Theres a difference between passing out drunk and drunk. Although to the law its all the same.

The cops should have known better. The one will go to jail for an extended period of time. The other one will probably go for a very short period of time.
