Permit me to slightly rephrase your last sentence:

We tend to allow some authoritarian figures to be crap, because they take out the crap and deal with crap.

But, that should not lead us to tolerate and condone abuses, and especially repeated abuses of power and authority.

So thank you to our Cops, who have some good standards in recruitment which prevents these people from being police.

One only need to watch one episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter to know the industry is the bottom of the barrel (bounty hunters) feeding off the bottom of the barrel (the people bounty hunters seek). Dog the Bounty Hunter is a good example, in 1976 he was convicted of first degree murder, he is barred from ever entering the UK, owning a firearm and extremely ironic for a guy who chases bail jumpers, Dog jumped his own bail after his arrest and release on bail in Mexico from what was essentially an illegal kidnapping in Mexico.

Seems to me it is people with a criminal past chasing current criminals. Hardly an effort to glorify, nor would I grant a bounty hunter any degree of legitimacy.

We tend to allow bounty hunters to be crap, since they take out the crap and deal with crap.

So then delete my comment along with the others then instead of lecturing me and accusing me of something. Consider this permanent leave…they are right. This site is a joke.

Let me just guess: Prosecutorial discretion? Or, should I say, “Abuse of prosecurorial discretion (business as usual for prosecutors)???

Can you be specific as to why we should NOT trust cops? And please, the recent rioting and media hype is not a viable argument. Do you know something we here in this city don’t know?

EDITOR NOTE–This comment and the previous comment are off topic. We have deleted 5 comments from two readers who have taken up space damning coppers. The story is about bounty hunters, bondsmen, impersonating law enforcement, and a recent homicide which has been ruled “justified.” It is not a chance to vent about police. Blaskowitz, please troll somewhere else if you want to pick a fight. You can have “paid leave” for now.

And, why should we trust police officers??
