WHATEVER HAPPENED TO”INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY”!!!Maybe he did cry when confronted by the law. Has anyone ever thought that he knows what happens to a person who is accused of a crime like this. He probably felt that his life was over. Even if he is found not guilty, he will always be seen as the officer who was accused of molesting young boys.

I still believe that anyone with the power to create or enforce laws should pay 3 times the penalty for breaking the law and public trust.
Punish the hell out of the corrupt and shine a light on the good ones.

I worked I.A. (Office of Professional Standards) for fifteen years. Most all L.E. investigated were usually guilty. We gave them a fair shot. Most were driven by greed, but a few were using the badge to shield character flaws that is not limited to Law Enforcement.

We did find a good number of young and handsome Juvenile Correctional Officers falsely accused by young female delinquents who not truly understanding the harm that they were doing said things about these men that were products of their imagination or in revenge for those officers who cut them no slack in the rules of behavior for those incarcerated.

The “Blue Wall of Silence” is only upheld by equally corrupt officers. There are many good LEOs that report wrongdoings by the fellow officers regardless of who they’re hurting.

How about the two Crestview cops who reported the former Chief and Major for abusing arrestees and other citizens? The former Major got 12yrs in prison, so think before you claim LEOs don’t get punished for their crimes. Everyone deserves to be protected from wrongdoings by Law Enforcement but children present special circumstances as they’re always taught to trust those who are sworn to serve and protect. The first thing we teach our children is to find a police or firefighter if they’re every lost, hurt, or scared. If an LEO abuses a child, the punishment should be much more severe.

And the fact that he began crying when confronted with accusations is kind of a nail in the coffin for those of us who deal with these types of people. That’s not a normal reaction from an innocent person. Those tears are either caused by years of guilt being lifted or disappointment that he was caught.

Before some of you drag him to a light post or a tree to be hung please remember the music teacher who was charged a few years ago with touching some young girls breast. After having to pay out a large amount for bond and a lawyer the girl confessed she had made up the story. Please wait to get the full story. Those who love to say “the blue wall” about LEO’s only have to look here in ESCAMBIA COUNTY. If a LEO is dirty it gets out. I’m retired from LE and over the years I’ve seen a number of LEO sent to jail. Just because you are unable to remember the cases does not mean it has not happen. Some times they are treated like anyone else and may get probation– but they are out of LE because they loose their certification. If you really want to see “bad apples” do a little research on doctors, lawyers and so on.

@phil

Your conspiracy is flawed by the fact that several Leo’s have been arrested lately,including the animal in this story. Over the last few yrs several deputies have been fired and arrested for crimes they committed (allegedly) against women and perps. What about all the officers investigated over the Freddie Gray incident? How about the officer in Ferguson or the officer in Mobile that have had their lives turned upside down for doing their jobs. If Leo’s don’t have each other’s backs then who will? You? The rest of society that reads a story and/or comment and thinks all cops are bad and above the law?

I had a 5 yr relationship with a Leo and in those five yrs and the four yrs I’ve been a medic since the relationship ended I have never met a police officer/agent that I wouldn’t be proud to call a friend.

Phil thinks it’s sad that there is a “blue wall of silence” at all. If I understand the previous poster, the only time it comes down, is for crimes committed against woman and children. I think there is a level of truth to that, and the fact they cover for buddies in blue, should be a story in itself.
The law seems to operate above the law, and that is simply wrong!

I am an LEO and I am in corrections. I can assure you that corrupt or perverted police officers or other public officials do go to prison. And, they go for a nice, long time. Please don’t paint all of us with the same brush. The majority of us are hardworking, decent, churchgoing people.

To Unfortunately i’m not surprised
As a member of LEO no one I have ever worked with condones this type of behavior and how dare you say we would cover up someone molesting children. What kind of sick mind do you have. There is no wall of silence when someone is hurting people especially children and there is no wall of silence when crimes are being committed.
To just saying
The law applies to everyone, why people don’t think cops go to jail to is beyond me. A crook is a crook no matter which side of the badge you are on.
