The Thin Blue Line.

[Riccardo]

that's what I just said

And he was then taken into custody and charged with murder. Oh the humanity, the bastard got a few hugs before getting tossed in the slammer, probably for life.

[RSE]

If I started firing bullets into a car during a stand off with police, sure, they wouldn't have fired a me. Sure.

[Ground_Meat]

I can guarantee you (cop or not) that if the officers had a clear shot that wouldn't endanger anyone else and he was actively firing rounds, he would have been taken out.

[RSE]

Sure. Sure. They didn't have a clear shot.

[Riccardo]

No you see RSE was there

He saw the whole thing. talk about stupid!

[RSE]

How do you defend this shit? Seriously.

[Ground_Meat]

He saw the whole thing. talk about stupid!

Likely.

[Riccardo]

I'm defending a murderer?

Really? Where did I say that?

[TerpEagle]

He saw the whole thing. talk about stupid!

Yeah, none of us were there. We should trust the police that gave the murderer a hug.

[Ground_Meat]

How do you defend this shit? Seriously.

Who's defending anything? He murdered someone and should go to prison and rot. Period.

[Riccardo]

Trust them with what?

Not doing their job? They arrested him for murder.

[TerpEagle]

Really? Where did I say that?

Your'e defending the actions of the other police. That's clearly the bigger issue because it's indicative of corruption and preferential treatment for someone who committed murder because of he's a fellow cop. And that doesn't even address the issue of why he was allowed to remain armed with a history of domestic violence.

Not doing their job? They arrested him for murder.

Hugging and comforting a murder suspect - just part of the job. No reason to suspect or even question if they didn't treat him differently in any other way when he was unloading bullets in to the car.

Was he convicted of domestic assault?

[Riccardo]

I'm defending their hugs? I already said it was weird

Should they be thrown off the police force for hugging the guy as they arrested him?
