Perhaps he was defending himself against a violent woman. Or perhaps he took years of abuse from her and lost it! Maybe if you knew his situation you would not be so quick to judge him. I am sure if everyone who was arrested for domestic violence had their face put on the news there would be less name calling.

Ha teakin thing at face vlaue got me 8 kids! Belive what media say and we got Obama. Not whut i sign up for.ha

But you know…from the time we were little kids, were we taught by our parents, relatives and schools to always TRUST police officers, that they are upstanding people who do no harm and most of them are…don’t misquote me.

I grew up in a family of LE and well what do ya know, went on to date a cop. But let me tell you folks, they have issues too because of what they see from day to day, for me because of his drinking and womanizing I dumped him, Because of his drinking and driving he lost his badge.

They are human beings, but we are trained to look up to and respect them and when something like this happens, it just makes you wonder who you can trust or turn to anymore.

Cop or no cop….he would be sporting more than a black eye if he was my husband and he EVER put his hands on me. Anyone who sits by and ALLOWS someone to bash their face in….well, never mind, I’ve never been that type of personality so I cant speak about it.

What’s the box say Krickkett?
Shut up Steve

These poor cops could have been socially outcast as children themselves from over protective mothers and their Fathers that were cattin around on their wives. These men may have had to raise their siblings because their parents fought and stayed drunk all the time. It’s always the parents fault. Stop raising heathens folks.
What cha thinkin?
Burp,paah….

Ahhh, comic relief when it’s most needed!

Just a joke to make folks take a breath for a minute and breathe before the bell rang for round (7) SEVEN.. . . . . . . . . . . . DING!

bobcat- What dates are you seeing? The three LE cases I see have all been published and updated within 24 hrs. Is there somewhere else you are looking? Even so, just because there is a spike in events doesn’t mean the events never happened, if they were outdated. Not sure your point.

I’m going to skip your petty, callous insults on that one. We may disagree, but there is no need for your childishness, it will just get you reported.

I don’t ALWAYS take things at face value, but nothing sounds alarming or strange about this article to make think otherwise.

Are you suggesting the arresting officers didn’t do their job thoroughly? Are you suggesting they made a bad decision when they assessed this situation and made their arrest? Because nothing about this is leading me to believe so. Why don’t you tell us how to do a cops job.

This must be so internally conflicting for you.

These cases are from over a 6 year period of time.  These stories have been brought together all at once from the WKRG archives by someone in order to make their case against LE. Look at the dates people! GeeeeezzzzzUM….

Yep, it is SO much better to be a pious, CLOSE-MINDED, pessimistic,judgemental, bitter person. See your point! Always take things and face value and trust the media. Good theory.

Gosh, I have been so wrong to try to look for the good in folks, and to give THEM,not the media the benefit of the doubt. How silly of me, to think that there could POSSIBLY be more to a story!
