Members TampaYankee Posted December 5, 2013 Members Posted December 5, 2013 There needs to be a lot more accountability of police actions in this country. I know it is a difficult and dangerous job but that is no excuse for violating the rights and liberty of citizens, often stonewalling if not outright denial when errors come to light. With authority comes responsibility. Responsibility means, among other things, accountability. boiworship and Theolover 2 Quote
Members RA1 Posted December 5, 2013 Members Posted December 5, 2013 You left out lying. However, tell it to the pols in DC who will ignore you just like the police do. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members MsGuy Posted December 8, 2013 Members Posted December 8, 2013 You're all wrong. It's perfectly acceptable for cops to lie under oath. However it is considered somewhat unsporting to tell a lie even the judge can't listen to with a straight face. "I immediately left a double murder scene and rushed to Mr. Simpson's house because I feared the killer might be hunting him too. I went there only to warn him he was in danger."
