The difference would that other gun owners don't try to cover up for the criminal gun owner.
I have yet to see a cop arrest another even when they know full well what is going on is illegal.
BIG difference and if you can't see it, you may just qualify for the lower IQ'd PD.
When he finally pulled over, she arrested the uniformed officer at gunpoint, although reports came out later that a supervisor had told her to “back off "and not pull Lopez over” . Lopez later said he was on his way to an off-duty assignment.
If the police are raping you, you HAVE to take it. You fight back you die. If the police are stealing from you, you HAVE to take it, you fight back you die.

And now you understand hyperbole. Not all LEOs are bad. In fact most are average people who you will never notice. Not all gun owners are bad. In fact most are average people you will never notice.

I'm a long time reader of Above Top Secret, but I'm a lurker, all I do is read and lurk---but I have to comment on this.
I live in this town and I know this man, and I have to say I find these allegations impossible to believe. There's alot more going on here than you realise. This all came about because of a feud between the Chief of Police (Earl Theriot) and the Mayor (Mike Lambert). The town council of this little podunk town was trying to shut down the police department by making it impossible to get the department insured--so all the cops (three or four officers) were laid off, but the Chief (Earl Theriot) is an elected official and the town couldn't fire him or get rid of him and he refused to resign. He was trying to get alternative insurance to keep his department open, but the town council just wanted to get rid of him and kept insisting he resign. Back and forth with this for awhile, and then this comes up, forcing him to resign. I really think the timing of all of this is fishy. Everybody thinks so around here. Sorrento Louisiana is a really tiny place, only about 1500 people so everybody knows everybody and everybody knows Earl.
From what I gather, what he plead guilty to was lying to the FBI about phone calls to this woman, not about all this other junk. When he plead guilty to THAT we were all gobsmacked.
I'm sure there's more going on behind the scenes than we know, but I just wanted to say I read stories all the time about rotten crooked cops that abuse power and all that, but this isn't one of those things.
Like I said, I have never replied to a post online before in my life, so I hope I'm doing all this right! I will now go back to lurkermode!
Thanks for listening,
Catherine

Have you been on a thread about Holmes or Newtown? From the majority of posts on ATS it looks like gun owners either believe these people were patsies or MKUltra victims. How is that not an attempt to defend the actions of these murderers?
