Posthumous âassholeâ of the year 2014 goes toâŚpolice officer, Trevor King.
heâs dead!? Hmm, 2016 isnât all bad after all.
Anyway I just canât understand the cop finding the receipt and not destroying it, the only thing that would explain it is feeling so secure in his power that he figured there would be no consequences.
Fucking pigs, they truly are the lowest form of scum on Earth
Didnât he?
I didnât see any mention in the article - did I miss it. If the cop supposedly destroyed the receipt I find it hard to believe a lawsuit would happen, charges would be dropped, and that the article wouldnât make a really big point about it. At that point I believe the article would essentially be about the nuisance lawsuit by a shoplifter against the good police officer who caught him - but itâs not so I just have to think there is a receipt (maybe Iâm cynical)
If there were a rabid dog running the streets attacking the citizenry, it would either be shot (if the police responded) or very carefully caught, then euthanized via injection (if animal control gets there first). Draw whatever parallels to this situation that may happen to come to mindâŚ
I had a chance at first comment and was going to say exactly that⌠But I feared the dragon.
Oh, I meant get away with no consequences.
Fuck the police.
There must not have been a single good cop in his unit, if he was able to get away with this and not be fired.
There would be camera footage of him paying at the register. Destroying a receipt would be easy but removing footage from security cameras is a lot more complicated for a single individual to conspire. Walmart may be a lot of things but destroying evidence to protect an employee seems like a road they wouldnât go down. Though you never know I suppose, but this just seems so random in this case I couldnât imagine a conspiracy on the stores part as well.
I figure the lawsuit itself is a consequence, youâre right of course he got away without the consequences he should have suffered - of course I often naively hope that a big enough lawsuit will piss someone powerful off and get the cop in trouble.
Makes me feel awfully privileged when I refuse searches of my bags on the way out of best buy and donât get hurt.
He was off-duty. I think some departments donât want to know what you do in your spare time.
Didnât you notice?
The man he brutally beat for no reason was black.
âAPD says the video doesnât tell the whole story.â (from the article)
Literally âNothing to see here, citizen, move along.â
âWeâre taking this matter seriously. Now. Since, you know, thereâs lawsuit against us that everyone knows about.â
Even if that were true; can anyone think of an other-half-of-the-story that would justify the part of the story the video does tell?
Itâs bad enough that the âdoesnât tell the whole storyâ nonsense gets trotted out when, yes, actually it does tell pretty much the entire story; but itâs even more egregious when there isnât even a viable other part of the story that would change its overall meaning.
Wal-mart doesnât seem like the âdo something potentially risky to protect an employeeâ sort of shop.
