  11. Yeah but if you a hispanic you get out of jail free. Check out Luis Gonzalez who on July 8th shot and killed his own son who was unarmed. But because he did tell his wife to call 911 he's only charged with voluntary manslaughter. Released on an unsecured bond.

  12. I watched LT Mohammed give a presentation about gun seizures. He was pleasant, didn’t say No, remembered his why, smiled, and was well dressed.

    What does the JJ training say about cops stealing on Sundays from Church when Chic Fila is closed?

  13. I don't care who steals from where thugs or from church no place in any police department. If you can't make it on take home pay then get out of law enforcement.

    1. That’s because all the good ones have moved on. They also had the bright idea to disband several and then crime started to spike. It lost its luster when dynamic entry’s went away.

  17. Players in stand fighting at a soccer game, random sniper shots by a teen punk, at least a murder a day. If yall still in cmpd, why?

  18. The soccer mess was unavoidable and I don't blame anyone from CMPD for not wanting to get into it with 40 fans and players throwing fists.

    Tepper is a tight ass chump and he'll need to offer more compensation in the future.
