REGARDING:
if it happens again, that would be the time to raise hell over the system ”

I’m with you and the jury in assuming it never happened in the first place, but if it DID happen and does happen again, just imagine the questioning while on trial:

“Sir, have you ever been charged with rape before?”

“Yes, several times but most times the charges were dropped and the one time it went to trial, I was acquitted.”

(Actually, that is why the defendant wouldn’t testify, so a question like that couldn’t be asked.)

Well, I think she put herself in a bad place by getting drunk, then not being with anyone to see she got home. Maybe she wanted a bunch of money from him. Maybe in the past, he pissed her off and she thought she could get back at him like that. Without all the info on this, our opinion can only go so far. A jury, who heard everything, says he didn’t do it. I think it should be left alone but if it happens again, that would be the time to raise hell over the system and there would surely be problem to be taken care of.

REGARDING:
“Nothing matters anymore ”

Yes, it matters. The innocent have been falsely accused. Ways to protect them from false accusations are needed.

(Sometimes the guilty are acquitted and how to avoid false acquittals in the future is in order in those cases.)

Either way, people can discuss what they wish to discuss.

I am surprised the case was even brought to court. Normally crimes allegedly commited by LEO’s are just swept under the rug whenever possible.

Did y’all not read the article? He was found NOT GUILTY so stop accusing him! Nothing matters anymore because a jury found him NOT GUILTY. End. Of. Story.

REGARDING:
“An off duty cop shouldn’t have a patrol car in his possession for use”

If the purpose of law enforcement is to protect the people, one good way would be for people to see patrol cars up and about. I imagine some would abuse the privilege, but I’m sure many would be more careful about not breaking laws if they saw patrol cars driving around or parked where someone in it might be watching them.

Keeping cameras recording to hard drive and inaccessible to the officers should reduce misuse and false charges both ways.

The police sign in downtown Pensacola reads ” SEX WITHOUT CONSENT IS RAPE” an intoxicated woman can’t give consent. So my verdict is that the cop raped an intoxicated woman. The officer should never be allowed to pick up intoxicated woman ( he’s a pro right? He knows if she’s intoxicated or not ) As the other poster stated, No officer should be allowed to transport any private citizen in a patrol car w/o notifying dispatch of pick up time and drop destination. The cop in NY just got off for his alleged rape for the same thing. The cop in NY was asked to take her home, not have sex with her. She alleged rape also and the verdict was that the woman wa drunk so she couldn’t remeber everything. LET ME REPEAT! “Sex without consent is rape” I’m quoting the police sighn in downtown Pensacola. Follow the law, not drunk women! Cindy

TO LUKE ANOVI
IT’S KNOW WONDER YOU ARE A FORMER LEO.
FIRST, ANY TIME A DEPUTY WORKS AN OFF DUTY JOB THAT DEPUTY PAYS A FEE PER HOUR FOR THE USE OF THE CAR,UNIFORM AND GAS.
SECOND,AN LEO CAN’T JUST LEAVE A DRUNK PERSON,THEY EITHER CALL A CAB BUT IF THE PERSON HAS NO MONEY THEY THEN TRY AND CALL A FRIEND IF THAT DON’T WORK THEY WILL GIVE THEM A RIDE TO SOMEWHERE SAFE.IF THEY SHOULD JUST LEAVE THEM THERE AND SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THEM THE DEPUTY WOULD NOW BE AT FAULT AND THE DRUNK OR THE DRUNKS FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD SUE BECAUSE THE DRUNK WAS NOT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND.
THIRD,YOUR A FORMER LEO AND YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE AT A GAS STATION WATCHING A FEMALE STARE DOWN A COP AND WHEN YOU ASKED WHAT SHE WAS DOING SHE SAID THAT COP RAPED ME.DID YOU RENDER AID DID YOU OFFER TO CALL THE POLICE OR S.O. FOR HER?SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU ARE FULL OF IT AND EXPLAINS WHY YOU ARE A FORMER LEO.
THE COP IN THE ABOVE ARTICLE DID NOT DENY THE SEX ACT,JUST DENIED THAT THE VICTIM WAS FORCED TO PERFORM,NEVER THE LESS THE ACT DID OCCUR IN UNIFORM AND INSIDE A MARKED PATROL CAR SO HE SHOULD BE FIRED FOR CONDUCT UNBECOMING.

An off duty cop shouldn’t have a patrol car in his possesion for use to go to and from private jobs. The taxpayer is now paying for officers to drive around off duty and charge the fuel and wear and tear on the vehicle to the public? If he does use a patrol car for private use and he picks up any human, he needs to call in and inform the dispatch of pick-up time and place of destination. It will slow down the police rape cases in your area. Cops should not be giving rides to intoxciated women when off duty in a patrol car. I don’t think the woman made up the story? Motive? The officers refusal of a polygraph would explain it all. I pulled in to a gas station the other day and a women was staring doen a cop and I asked why she was doing that and she told me that he had raped her! It seems to be getting quite common in Pensacola. Luke, former law enforcement /narcotics

hummmmm……

I agree JIM W but at the same time I wouldn’t want to be raped and then
called a liar by the courts either……

Justice has been known to not really be there, especially in these kinds
of cases.

I really haven’t understood why it always takes outside forces to bust
anyone here (FBI to often) , so I have a major problem with the good ole boy attitude here by LEO’S and to many others. To many of
our LEO’S hear no evil and see no evil and crime just prevails, and
WE are it’s victims.

I do hope justice was just this time and this LEO is not just another
bully with a badge.
