I keep repeating this like a broken record, but the more and more former military that join law enforcement, the more and more types of incidents like this happen.
There's some sort of disconnect in their heads between being in the military in combat situations (or simply from military training) that simply does not lend itself psychologically to the transition to law enforcement. I don't have the time or the will to do the research, but I betcha there's a correlation here.

people who bash cops tend to do it because they've had a bad experience with them. most of their bad experiences came about because of their own actions, whether they want to or will admit it. strange, but by being polite and respectful, i've never had a bad experience with an LEO. odd, that

Just someone who has been following these kinds of incidents for a very long time now, both here and up close and personal in real life, and seeing that a disproportionate amount of them involve former military.

Who sent it to the department? Perhaps another officer who saw it? Maybe an officer that works there is trying to expose this rouge bastard. If so I wish he wouldn't remain anonymous.

you're right, cops aren't human. so lets say the officer just cleared the scene of a rape homicide and was at the end of a 12 hour shift. he should've robotted his way through the entire call. cops, despite being humans, should never ever react like a human. they should just expect to have people crap all over them every day they go to work and they should just take it in stride, never reacting or responding.
like i said, hysterical

However, let me caveat that with the statement that I think veterans who become peace officers are either the some of the best or the worst cops - no real in between.

Be a bad precedent to set to exclude them all together for the actions of a few bad ones.

Ummm...no, nothing as esoteric as that, I have just observed the way that the political winds blow as per posters by reading their posts in numerous threads. Then It just struck me that there was a correlation as to posting history and ideology relating to which side of this story posters fell on.

I didn't see anyone post their political affiliation with their comments. Are you deriving their left or right wingedness by interpreting their response?
