I'm still waiting...
Honestly, I could respect it if you really wanted to stay out of it, but you pretty much just said, "hey, I was a cop, I don't really have a foot to stand on in this argument, and I don't want to be involved with this thread, but the cop was manipulated, ok? buhbye."
first off, you're not staying out of it, you're in it.
second, cops sticking up for other, obviously really bad cops is what causes half of the negative public perception that you have to contend with.
now if you really wanna play guerilla message board commando, thats cool, I can't force you to answer, just realize, in my opinion anyways, what you have just done is detrimental to the perception of LEO's everywhere, good and bad.
what is to be gained by not telling us the whole story if facts have been blatantly manipulated? Or is the "whole" story some sort of speech from you along the lines of, 'It's a thank;ess dangerous job, blah blah blah' Tell us! It's not like they will confiscate your decoder ring or something is it?
If you really have more information to give, what is to be gained by sitting on it?
