By the way Mr. @ Mrs. high and mighty .... this happens quite often ...

There's also a healthy trade out in drugs and staying in the country illegally ....

You don't have to step across the border to find corruption ...............

Seems the cop was thinking with the wrong head.

Very dumb indeed.

Isn't rape a bit harsh though? It wasn't like it was forceful...

If anything, it sounds like blackmail.

Coercion is a crime. Makes me sick everytime I hear of shyte of like this - but no one seriously ever thinks about disbanding the police or replacing them with private security.... weird.

Newswinner, it's rape if you coerce them into doing it when they didn't want to. It doesn't have to be violent.

Hi, it's me, Pigotry! Good morning! It's one more criminal off street, feeling safer.

Alex the Blade, ever see "The Wistle blower."? Private companies, if anything, are worse than the regular police. There are a lot of policemen out there that started that career because they dreamed of themselves as crime fighters, protectors of the public and so on. The ones that work for private companies are in for the money.

What I see in this article is a problem that haunts many cities in the US. Private companies adopt uniforms and vehicles that are very similar to the official police. As a result people have a hard time seeing the difference in a time of need.

"hello I'm a cop and here to help you",what a JOKE,they are all pieces of $hit!!! Take the badge and gun away,and they would all run away like little girls!

I'm sure there are some that would run away even with the badge and the gun but you can't judge every police officer on the grounds that some of them are worthless. They are people after all. What they need is your support.

Take this guy as an example. He is charged with corruption, not with rape, when he should be charged with those things and perhaps others, like kidnapping. Public outcry would force the authorities to do the proper thing and this guy might end up in jail but most people don't care. They rather sit in their chairs read the comments, say some hate full things, insult anyone that does not agree and, if they can, collapse any opposing comment or block people they don't like from the site.

should have paid like the rest of us have to. geez.

Butch,keep reading,I was just the first to say it!! Jivaro, sorry NO support here for them!"They" need to clean up their act,we read about these POS every day!

it's not rape, maybe extortion or blackmail... because they did break the law and they could have easily said "no, take me to jail"... don't act like most of you wouldn't bribe a cop with money if you KNEW he would let you go... not right but they could have easily gone to jail, if they weren't hookers, having sex with an individual to get out of a ticket would be traumatizing people... come on...

oh well...guess them women...was of real high standards...wonder what their street names are...

If your forced to have sex against your will for any reason you do not need a weapon to force them or hold them down it's rape. The power over them is enough. Even a street person can be raped!

About 40% of policemen with 5 or more years service are likely to become involved in corruption. I think the percentage is much higher.

Isn't rape a bit harsh though? It wasn't like it was forceful...

If anything, it sounds like blackmail.

You sound like one of those idiots that wanted to redefine rape so that slipping women roofees didn't count. Do you think the charges on Jerry Sandusky were too harsh too?

If only prostitution was legalized and regulated, this wouldn't be a problem. Just imagine how much money our cash-strapped local governments would get???

This guy looks crooked.

For all you cop bashers out there............

If you have an emergency, "who" you gonna call?! Your MOMMY!!?? Yup, she'll show up in seconds 24/7 packin' heat with all the special OPS and training to save your ass.

Funny how I'm reading, PIG & all cops are crooks - all cops suck! Etc.... by all the people that will call 911 if there's an emergency without hesitation.

Too funny man. Heh heh.......................

@creekdog - If we were allowed the 2nd amendment then we wouldn't need police!!!! One thing that I will say, is a cop can not read minds, therefore can not stop a criminal from acting... Only the person with the gun or weapon can!!!!!

Whatever happened to Police OFFICERS who DID Serve And PROTECT as Guardians of The Public Trust. Now we have street thugs with badges and guns. Think about it...These thugs are given Exellent salaries, health and dental care for them and their brood while Americans, WHO PAY THEIR SALARIES, are victimized by these servants of the corporate and evil rich.

The fact that America does not have a Universal Healthcare system as Americans are being Extorted by the "healthcare" insurance industry for more and more IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE. These thugs strut around with their badges and guns brutalizing, exploiting, taking What they want from people as They SERVE The Evil Rich And PROTECT Their Wealth. This has to be fixed.

Good luck Holmes. But let's face it, two women, same MO. Your odds are short and getting shorter.

Chris,

True! However, the second amendment needs a little work (in certain area's/states) but we'd still need the police for protection or to clean up the mess and take a report.

Just won't need them as often.

Have a good 4th.

To: What_the_81

If only prostitution was legalized and regulated, this wouldn't be a problem. Just imagine how much money our cash-strapped local governments would get???

I'm sure you meant to say: Just imagine how much our cash strapped local governments would spend.

I'm sure you meant to say: Just imagine how much our cash strapped local governments would spend.

About the same as they do now. But the difference is they wouldn't have to lie about it in the itemized list.

Police have been abusing there power forever and always will...Nothing new here

Fire the lot of them and start over. The majority of them are like this.

can you say Carlos Bustamante...

Hope this creep goes to prison! The inmates there will probably have ball with this guy.

Take the badge and gun away,and they would all run away like little girls!

Go ahead and try to take the guns and badges of a Virginia Beach cop, chances are he is a former Navy Seal..



http://www.kctv5.com/story/18934844/two-women-allege-kansas-city-police-officer-raped-them

Why do Bad people always get the publicity...

He will walk. They usually always do. This very thing happened around the area. Cop lied about even pulling the girl over not realizing he initially called it in and it was record. He still got off both ways.. ; ]

Cheers

This one wont walk...not this time...

Biggest liars in court

Sounds like the cop needs to be behind bars, or working in my neighborhood where the protitutes regularly barter for an overlook.

Around here, no priors translates to 'anything you desire, mr. officer'

Internal affairs should probably investigate them all, if they were not clients too that is.

This guy needs to be behind bars, where he will learn all about consensual sex.

This happens all the time, in rural America! The cops, lawyers, prosecutors, judges, and the city and county governments are all in on the "secret"! Power, sex, amd money will lead you to the "pile" that is the character trait of this country!

Obsessed with prison sex? Why is that relevant?

he will plead insanity...you know ...he's just crazy bout that stuff...going down town gon'a see my gal...gon'a sing her a song...

read it, he's suspended WITHOUT PAY!

Whether paid or not, he is " facing two felony counts of acceding to corruption by a public servant" when he should be facing two counts of RAPE! He's a RAPIST with a badge getting treated as if he took a bribe of a bucket of fried chicken.

Greenwood: ? Seriously? -Where did you get the 'fried chicken' thing from? The department was KCPD, not KFC.

AlexTheBlade: Maybe I should have said "bucket of ribs"?

AlexTheBlade: Maybe I should have said "bucket of ribs"?

Maybe you should have just added a 40oz and watermelon to your first assertion of fried chicken. Obvious much?

Gates or Bryants?

boom!reason: No, not "Obvious much". You seem to attach a racist connotation to certain foods, if I read you right. That's your problem, not mine. I could have just as easily said "bag of hamburgers". And "bucket of ribs" is referencing one of the foods Kansas City is famous for.

All that aside, my main mistake was that this story is a serious issue and I should not have made a comment making light of it. I apologize for that alone.

boom!reason: No, not "Obvious much"

Yes, obvious much. You saw a black guy was in trouble with the law and you immediately thought of fried chicken. That's on you.

Do I think that you were thinking "I hate black people?" no, of course not. However, your deep-seated racial stereotypes are there, and very clearly surfaced. You were called out, and just like all the others trying to save face you attempt to shift the attention to the person who recognized your racial comment.

Sorry, but "whoever smelt it, dealt it" is not the golden rule.

And "bucket of ribs" is referencing one of the foods Kansas City is famous for.

Kansas city is most famous for it's BBQ, not chicken or ribs. Also steak, but most people think BBQ (that's pulled pork butt, if you're not from the South, or not acclimated).

You really are grasping for straws.

boom! reason - Aren't we being a little presumptuous here? I see a man in the picture. You mentioned that he was black. What tipped you off? Was it the dark skin, wide set nostrils and the curly hair or the fact that he is now in jail? Racist.

And markwonder the troll lumbers in.

Throw the book at him.

I think we should verify the stories first. Wouldn't want another Duke Lacrosse scandal, would we?

markwonder,

I don't see any indication of Boom being racist here. It just seems he's a technical person.

boom,

Before insinuating that someone is "trolling" you may want to take note that he posted once compared to your multiple times. Just sayin'.

Have a nice 4th of July to the both of you.

To all, 10 fingers, 10 toes. Let's try and keep it that way OK?

They learned from our politicians...where all the graft, greed, corruption, coercion (I'll vote for your project if you vote for mine) (tow in line or no committee for you), infidelity...etc...is a learned part of the profession...

Police today have a difficut job, can't make a mistake or the criminal will get off...its just too bad a few bad people stigmatize the whole force...

Before insinuating that someone is "trolling" you may want to take note that he posted once compared to your multiple times. Just sayin'.

You don't know what trolling is, if that's what you're basing it on. Post count has no correlation to trolling.

Eddie........that is so true. A cop once told me he was a cop so he could carry a gun in public!

That's exactly what i was going to say.. I don't have much faith in police officers i pray everyday i never need one to rescue me for anything or help in anyway whatsoever.. I Don't trust them anymore!

hey dee, why would you trust them, they are an extension of so many in congress who can and do twist any result into like something for them,, just read about the results of the supreme court against the repubs,, just cannot stand to lose,, but they did !!

gives new meaning to the term Whistle-blow-her

mianyanger===This is what makes the second amendment needed and so important. Hey you have to protect yourself when the police become the criminals. Just look at Eric Holder for one excellent example of the law gone wrong.

well mr smokie,, you are so wrong, the criminals are the repubs who are pursuing him by the their actions against him, spending our hard earned dollars for this witch hunt, actually i suspect a lot of the congress are corrupt regardless of their party affiliation , you repubs just lost a good representatives in Senator Lugar,, i was planning on supporting Romney but if he cowtows to the money grubbing repubs then he will lose my vote,, it seems to me he has no choice but to select Senator Lugar as his running mate not the likes of the those being suggested

Smokie, that is some silly logic. In this case those girls did not have the right to pull a gun on this cop or shoot him. They had a choice, sleep with him or go to jail. In all cases they all had committed crimes.

I'm not defending the cop here. He needs to go to jail too. But lets stop makeing these girls out to be model ladies of society. One was a prostitute by trade, the other mentioned was carrying drugs.

So, if someone doesn't fit your 'model' then it's not so bad when bad things happen to them?

That's awesome, I wish you were in charge,

Pete 1942===Pete give it break. So many of you thought that the sunshine was coming from the ears of the Obama Bunch and he and all of his little friends gave been nothing more than a very bad dream for the United States. Sorry I call them I see them and I'm pretty much on target. Obama is not the messiah more like the beast of the Book of Revelation.

Sorry junior you will have to find someone with a little more common sense to follow.

And freedom, and reputation, and job, and wife/kids and so on & on & on............ etc...

In his case, perhaps PAYING for it would have helped you say? (snigger)

Good point however, 9 out of 10 makes 10 crooked cops per 100. 100 crooked cops per 1,000.

Plus, you're only implying about the cops that were "caught!"

Have a nice holiday.

Then that also makes 10 per 100 and 100 per 1,000 doctors, teachers, church goers and leaders, etc.. just about any person in any profession in the US or world that have or haven't been "caught". many people in many professions commit crimes, and for everyone else who commented.. i completely agree this guy is a piece of scum and he deserves to sit in prison for the rest of his life, but everything has been attacking him from his professional stand point. I know what he does for a living is definitely something you don't want to see someone doing when they are in that profession but NO ONE should be doing it. you can't attack the article about the profession of the person who committed the crime, its about him as a single person and what he did wrong. And he deserves to spend every second of the highest sentence you can for this.

pg.....what you fail to recognize is that the position of a police officer is that of a public servant. They are held to a higher standard. They are to set an example on and off duty. They know this when they choose to do the job. They agree to this under oath and they accept it as a part of their job description.

I can understand your disdain for the reaction to law enforcement now of days. A lot of people hold this walk of life in low regard. But hardly a day goes by that you don't read about the mid-deeds of our trusted public servants. Most using their position to satisfy their personal agenda vs. that of the common good. It's not the publics fault they have a black eye, it's the bad ones amoung their ranks that give them the black eye. Peace.

so why do you see so many of them parked at the donut shop eating donuts, does that count in your 16 hour days, spending 8 of them at the donut shop?

pgc.22 Its obvious you are a cop or married to one. You are way off on your numbers.The real number of crooked cops is more like 7 or 8 out of 10 are on the take or over zelous in their duties. they get the attitude that ( I have a badge and the power so I'm the boss) I should point out I think the numbers are lower for state police. They have more oversite and education than small town cops. No one is perfect but if you are to uphold the law than you should be a model person. No second chances for dirty cops.

CD.. you do make a valid point. its not the greatest odds but most things aren't, for the most part our world sucks in many aspects and this would be one of them.

Fricsaid.. I understand that, and I know what they agree to and accept. All I'm saying is it takes just one to give anyone a bad name and then that's all anyone thinks, talks or believes. But that's in anything and everything. I just believe in looking at things from who did what and them as a person, not the job they hold or how high of a standard people believe they should be held at for whoever they are.

Pgc.22,

Nine out of ten of them may go into it for the good, but 8.5 of those are corrupted in short order.

Hells, that's all I ever read on these posts - negative "shut 'em down"/fire them/kill their unions - crazy talk. And its everything, not just police. Granted I despise those that would abuse their power and disregard the sanctity of the public trust. Those aren't heroes: they're theives. They aren't romantics: they're charlatans. They aren't honourable: because they're mercenaries. They shouldn't have ever worn the badge.

The real crime is the "Thin Blue Line". Protect each other and Serve their own interest, and if they happen to catch a bad guy then they get to gloat. Most cops are ego maniacs. Its rare to find a nice decent cop.

I guess if I was a cop and all day long, everywhere I went, "everyone" would be ignoring me in natural fear which would make me feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention, arresting people for this that and the other thing. Drunks screaming and spitting on me while resisting etc... Having to split up couples who are fighting, possibly getting shot at here and there all would make me a very bitter person.

Also having to see murder scenes, dead body's that are rotten stinky gross looking and disgusting.

I'd be fed up with the general public and of course, have a chip on my shoulder.

All that, then go home to my wonderful wife and two kids to sit down and have dinner together. Every time I'd shut my eyes, I'd see all of the above then try to be a father. MAN! I could never be a cop.

Even though there are crooked ones (in many professions) You've got to hand it to them for basically ruining (sacrificing) there lives by wanting to be in this profession.

@Creekdog. BS....they signed up for it knowing what the job involved. If they can't take it then quit. There is no excuse for acting like a jerk, which is what MOST cops do. Trying to make excuses for them only makes you look dumb. They aren't sacrificing anything, they signed up to get paid to do a job. There are plenty of other people that could do the job, but it takes an especially large ego to want to hassle people all day long as a profession. No sympathy from me for the 9 out of 10 simpletons that found their way into a job with a badge.

AFL,

I understand that but like any job, "NOBODY" can say how a job "feels" before getting it.

We "all" want the big bucks, big dream but it always seems to be another story when you learn how it feels after the fact that you get any job.

"Then," all your training and or college (yrs) to do what you thought you wanted to do makes you feel that you have no choice but to stick it out and you cannot afford or have the time to try something different.

Creek Dog--thanks for trying to talk sense to these right wingers. I know lots of Police officers and NON of them are corrupt, not saying there arent cops who are corrupt, but the ones I know are not. If you want corrupt Public officials, look no further than the White House

Right wingers hate cops? I thought right wingers want a fascist, police state? I thought it was liberal hippie types that hated 'pigs.' The times are a-changin indeed.

I have friends that are cops and family that are cops. I don't know of any that are bad cop. Not to say that there aren't. I'm sure that like most professions, and other on this vine have commented, there is a percentage that don't perform up to par. Can't judge them all by the actions of one.

third wheel man

thank you for catching my mistake I meant LEFT WINGERS SOOO SORRY---was a little POd when righting the other post

and true--there are bad apples in EVERY profession

like Ralphie said on the Sopranos....... "Tony....She's a frickin' hua!"

There's a porn series where people pretend to be cops and have sex with women instead of arresting them, not that I ever heard of it.

Maybe that guy watched that porn series.

Boom,

How can you reiterate something you never heard of ?

Impossible.

I think the new official term is either "Penalty" or "Tax"

Have sex with me or go to jail...If you pick jail, it is a penalty...If you pick sex, consider it a tax...at least I think that is the way it is interpreted

Sounds like potential Secret Service.

Ou812 - No: he didn't walk out off of the premisis with the goods....

Sorry - couldn't resist, mate.

AlexTheBlade - at least someone go the joke!

Hi SallyAnn... I find it interesting that you would ponder that point of view..as I myself have..

I think there were a few pigs in this mix... and may I quote (uck)
