I’m with JR on a new cop chief and new Prosecutor.
Law enforcement as law sadism plus forgive and ignore?
A different justice code indeed.

It looks to me like we not only need a new Police Chief, we also need a new Prosecutor.

I think folks need to call this what it is, homo-erotic torture by a sadistic Boise cop. By remaining silent, the Boise Police Force are standing behind their man.

What we have here is a new, “current” definition of “The boys of Boise”.

While I usually support other officers, this one is impossible to comprehend. At the very least I don’t understand how he kept his job…not to mention the criminal side. Officers like this are in it for the wrong reasons, and ruin public perception even further for the rest of us. I’m glad I don’t work for BPD…wouldn’t trust him in the least.

Granted it’s not right to tar the whole police force with the same brush, but the other cops should nail this guy’s hide to the wall if the system won’t.
It’s said that one bad apple spoils the barrel; same with cops. How can anybody trust them when for all the know the one they’re talking to might be the sadist pervert who did this.
However, the story said there were 10 cops at the scene (didn’t say why), so I wonder what the others were doing instead of telling this idiot to stop.
Sounds like malfeasance on one guy’s part and nonfeasance by the other nine?
And he should face the same criminal charges any of us would face if we did such a thing.

Folks here and on other parts of this site are talking to the fact that Coppers are special. I’m always amazed how a Copper can hop from one department to another after doing wrong and start with a clean slate. (Remember the child rapist a few years ago?)

Well I think Police are special, and do need special treatment. They have special powers and responsibilities. The public trust etc.

A few years ago in the pilot world they decided, in an effort to clear the incompetent pilots off the flight deck, that all of a pilot’s training records would become a lifetime federal file. The same need be done with the specialness of Coppers… Then the special ones could not hide any longer. Cops with poor control should do something else.

At first pilots did not like it… but after a while it was nice to know the guy sitting up front was less likely to be a dangerous moron overlooked somehow by the personnel department.

This is another example of the Idaho POST Police Academy living by their sadistic motto “don’t get PTSD, go out and spread PTSD”

Never trust a Boise cop. The good ones will always cover for the bad ones. Someone needs to investigate the Boise and Ada County juvenile court systems as well. Rampant terror and corruption. this is all tolerated by Ada and City councils as well as the school districts.

EDITOR NOTE– Dog, do you have any info? The GUARDIAN got the Ada Commishes to stop the child SLAVERY from the juvenile probation system. Is it back? https://boiseguardian.com/2007/10/02/commishes-abolish-slavery/

Thank god we have people like this giving up weekends, kid’s birthdays, anniversaries, Easter, Thanksgivings and Christmas, and who knows what all so they can abuse people’s civil liberties.

I am, of course, being facetious. A policeman friend of mine explained it this way: About 10 percent of cops are worth their weight in gold. 80 percent are just marking time, The bottom 10 percent should have never been let in the force.

Like members of any profession, it is unwise to vilify the entire group for the actions of one person. Similarly, it is unwise to glorify the entire group just because they wear a badge.

Not to mention that forcibly shoving things up peoples’ asses would land him in prison with felony charges and on the sex offender registry without a doubt, were he not a cop. This goes beyond a “bad decision.” It’s not like he had to make a split second decision on whether or not to shove a taser up a handcuffed man’s ass. This guy’s a sadist (and a rapist) and should be prosecuted just like anyone else would be.
