REGARDING:
“I never bash cops, not even when I bash cops!”

Nope, not even then.

Methinks part of the problem is that some think you are bashing all cops whenever you notice any slightest possibility that anyone who is a law enforcement officer might have done something illegal or even downright stupid.

I, on the other hand, believe that thinking all are like the ones mentioned would be a true insult to decent people.
Some judges accept bribes; not all judges are corrupt.
Some doctors are incompetent, not all doctors are incompetent.
Some women are bad cooks; not all women are bad cooks.

If I had never seen evidence that some law enforcement officers were bald-faced liars, I would assume none of them ever are.
Even as it is, I assume most aren’t dishonest and would certainly like the video evidence to show their honesty whenever some other Doubting Thomas questions it..

I don’t forget that one Flomaton policeman some years back bragged about pulling the VHS tape from his car and burning it on the barbecue to destroy the evidence of what he had actually done.
He figured the destruction of evidence carried a lesser penalty than what would have happened if the truth were seen.

Those who are afraid of the truth are the ones who bash cops.

David for honesty,
wishing we didn’t fear it

At the end of the day, he must give an account, doesn’t matter if the thief stole $5.00 or $5000.00 any sin cannot go unpunished. It almost sounds like many don’t think it is worth spending the resources for such a small theft, (BUT IF IT WERE YOUR MONEY YOU WOULDN’T FEEL THAT WAY) In THE END when we all face GOD in judgement, the opposite will take place, one will face a very harsh punishment for a seemingly small crime, then all of your excuses will not save you they, will indeed condemn you.

“I never bash cops, not even when they go in through the window to shoot the family dog or try to shoot through the hostage or …
They protect us from the bad guys until they decide we’re the bad guys.”

I never bash cops, not even when I bash cops!

And since so many commented that this should be a civil matter instead of a legal matter, you will all be suing shoplifters and thieves instead of calling the police from now on, yes?

@Speak up
Actually I would. Compared to what it is now anyway. Put it like this, I have NEVER called the cops unless I needed a report for the insurance company.
Back in 2003, in Northeast Pensacola, a couple dopeheads were stalking elderly people, following them home, and robbing them.
Did it to my mother one evening (very nice neighborhoods) while I just happened to be in the den. All I can say is that they were chased down, ran off the road and dealt with by me, then the law got their shot.
This new world has folks sissified. The day when the gas n grocery trucks stop coming will be the end for many. Me, I’m gonna live good.

The vet could have given him meds for his cat that he was supposed to pay for but just walked out with. That would definitely constitute petty theft. The possibility that the police went a home that they did not have a search warrant for without permission from the home owner while NOT in pursuit of an armed criminal is more frightening then anything else about this story. David is not bashing cops he is pointing out everything you guys should be concerned with. It is all okay as long as it is not your civil rights being stomped on correct? @ Patriot sir/madam I for one will be very happy the day they decide the job is not worth it. That means we get to go back to an old west style law an order yes I like that very much please and thank you! Might not be for everyone though just sayin.

All these comments scare me. Do you guys really want to live in a society where there are no police. Come on! And as far as the vet clinic is concerned, they don’t work for free. If he couldn’t pay to take care of his cat, he don’t need to have one. These doctors go to school for years and are like any other Doctor. If you can’t pay, don’t go!

Just maybe……………………………….
There are literally thousands of outstanding warrants in Escambia on any day of the year. The warrant for and known address for Colacci has likely been known by the routine patrol deputy that spotted him on the porch for weeks or months.
Being such a low priority “collar” the law did not bother waist manhours to go looking for him.
They just waited until he was spotted while on routine patrol.
Even in his mugshot, he does not appear to be of slight build.
So the spotting deputy called in reinforcements before attempting to make the arrest.
I will say proper police work all around.

And y’all wonder why we can’t fill the vacant deputy positions.
A dozen internet lawyers, all spouting off about unpaid bills and partial case law, and apparently doubting that someone opened the door in the first place. And then “Sheesh” aptly points out that he WASN’T the most dangerous fugitive in the county at the time, so apparently it was a waste of resources to even respond to the warrant service to begin with.
Sound like a fun career, at what, $16 bucks an hour?
Hopefully I’m not alive to see the day they all decide that the job ain’t worth it anymore.

Many of you seem to hate our police officers. I support them.
Good job, keep up the good work. Arrest all of the thieves and keep uB-)s safe.
