NO WAY this guy is guilty, he is a cop! Cops are good people, they don't do anything wrong. Just ask most of the people here. Just imagine what else this guy was doing. I will continue to dig until new legislation is passed to keep arsholes like this OUT of the PDs. We have a serious problem in this country with the WRONG crowd packing a badge and gun just because they pass a background check. That does NOT mean they are the people you want protecting your interests.

How does it make sense that this guy is on paid leave? I think of all things if he is not charged, he can receive back-pay....but paid leave? Wow. Good use of tax dollars!
