> The OPA could not sustain any allegations against Belgarde because the four-year deadline for discipline established in the police guild contract had passed.
When police unions decide to protect the bad ones, it obviously reduces their credibility and hence society’s trust in them. Might have worked for decades in the past due to lack of information, but people know this stuff now.
If everything is as clear cut as that article contends, then why do they gloss over the 4 year gap between crime and an attempt to do anything? I would expect some sort of explanation. Pretty much everything has a statute of limitations.
I would rather err on the side of letting the guilty go free than convicting someone wrongly. Due process is more important than any individual crime.
Given the well known corruption and “professional courtesy” within police organizations, I would err on the side of a drunk driver avoiding punishment because they were police. Not only were they driving drunk, but they attempted to evade the police by speeding away. That would have landed anyone else in jail, so there was obviously corruption from the very beginning.
Their subsequent newsworthy act of aggression by the same cop this year also makes me err that way.
Sounds like it was one officers word against another. If there was a corruption aspect to this, I didn’t see proof of where it was. It might look a certain way from our point of view now, but at the time I’m not sure it was so clear.
I very much like the concept of innocent until proven guilty and I want “proven” to be a very high bar.
I didn’t research the details of this specific case, but the point is police unions are known to defend bad people who abuse power.
Also, the guy in the link above also has a 3rd incident in 2015 where he admits to assaulting someone and got a slap on the wrist. Also, it’s 2020, and cops have body cameras and police car cameras, so there presumably is evidence of a DUI. Highly unlikely that another cop pulled him over and cited him for nothing.
