    Isn’t it obvious, crazee?

  2. crazee says:

    Oh, really Dunker? Are you and Guilty Bystander friends by the way? Just askin.

  3. MomDeep says:

    Roger 81,

    Pro Active police work is not what makes criminals. They choose their own path and when the fuzz meet the tweekers, it is what it is. I wish DCE would study abroad on the east coast and see what real police corruption is. Your ass would disappear back there my friend. Certain agencies have been notorious for shaking down drug dealers and taking their money and assets, just like “American Gangster.” People have also gone missing.

    You will always have a bad apple or two in every bunch, just like you will in any profession. If I had all day and every day to nit pick the cops, DCE or even defense attorney’s that have protected schmucks successfully, I guarantee there’s dirt on almost everyone.

  4. Guilty Bystander says:

    We’ll take your word for it.

  5. Dunker says:

    Hahahahahahahah….oh man! John Wayne was right! Life is hard. It’s even harder if you’re stupid.

  6. Roger81 says:

    Many of the police around here are out of control. I won’t name names, agencies, or incidents, but there is a group of them who are operating on nothing short of a gang like mentality (and use more expletives than most rappers) and behave like, for lack of a better word, immature bullies.

    It’s really sad and unfair because for one it is embarrassing to have people who are a supposed to be a direct representation
    of what is good in the community and the standards it strives for out there ethically on par with the criminal element and, worse yet, it taints the image of the good cops around here (which still are the majority…albeit a shrinking one) who are truly helping the community and already have enough burdens and stresses to deal with. As they say, a few bad apples…

    However, you know what you were sworn to do when you took the job and to let your peers get away with what some of them are getting away puts you under the same umbrella. I’m sure the internal politics of the department are complicated, but do what
    is right. That is what you are supposed to be all about.

    I am sure if anybody responds to this it will be the usual “if you aren’t doing anything wrong then what are you worried about” and “just wait until you need help” and all the usual replies that follow a statement like I just made. Well, I will say, no I am not perfect, but I am not a criminal who has something to hide and if I ever am in need of help the police are the last people I would consider going to for it and that is very unfortunate.

    Since departments have adopted a militant and “pro-active” policy it has led to many, many people who should not be labeled as criminals being harassed, struggling to find employment, and in some cases even housing for their families fighting an uphill battle that most likely will eventually cause them to give up and no longer be productive members of society.

    Sadly, it will only get worse. I didn’t write this in hopes that it would cause anything to change. It’s only an observation that things have just gone too far to ever go back. The government needs money and likes control and what is taking place today insures they will retain both. Eventually everybody will know somebody or themselves become a victim of what I am talking about.

    My apologies to those who truly understand the responsibility of wearing the badge and the day-in day-out pressures that come
    with it. You aren’t the targets of this rant. It’s the ones out there abusing their authority, walking all over our rights, and acting more jacked up than most tweekers that I am sick of. Its embarrassing for the community.

  7. Mendez says:

    It doesn’t say the person was acting odd “because” the window was rolled down and the music was on. It says the window was rolled down, the music was on, “AND” the person was acting odd. Two very different things – but I guess if you’re searching for something wrong – you’ll find it.

    And yes – there is more to the story than you’re being told because it’s a newspaper article, not a police report.

  8. George says:

    Dunker, I’m simply pointing out that having a window rolled down and the music on is NOT odd behavior, because people do those things all the time. There’s got to be more to this than what we’re being told, and if the officer is only putting things like “window rolled down, music on, acting oddly” on the report, that’s opening the door to a lot more people getting popped for doing what they normally do.

    DCE, why don’t you go out there and tape some more, and make sure you have every one of those cops registered on your website. I’m sure they would love to be a part of your growing revolution.

  9. Of course the cops are making stuff up George. The Centralia Kangaroo Court is in session. The Police in this town have been violating the Public Trust for years now.

  10. Dunker says:

    I’m sure you’d be applauding the guy instead of trying to be funny and puting him down if it was your truck.

  11. George says:

    “A deputy who contacted ________________ noted she had the window down, the music on and was acting very odd.”

    Since when is having a window rolled down and music on being odd behavior? I swear, these cops are starting to make more and more stuff up as they go along… I wonder how long it will take before they get ME for having my window rolled down and my music on… and yes, I already act oddly….
