Unacceptable. I don't even know what to say about that. I imagined that being my wife and it would have made me furious.
KOP...not sure what YOUR agenda is, but I'll say this. You can cram that donut up you ass.

I laughed this off and cracked a joke over it, and was mis understood by a few people...I apologize to those I may have offended......let me tell you why I responded the way I did.
I've been a cop for 28 years. The cop that did that will be fired, and hopefully prosecuted. It was a stupid, senseless, heartless, classless act, that indicates a psychological profile of a person who should never be in a position of power.
The good news is that it was BIG NEWS! Because stuff like that DOESN'T happen everyday in this country. So when it does happen, it's big news, the press runs with it, you-tube runs with it, it's a really big deal. A FELLOW OFFICER had to have dimed him out, releasing that video to the media. Which tells you even his fellow officers were appalled at the behavior.
So while in and of itself it was a pretty disgusting act, that fact that it got so much attention tells you everything is okay in our system. You think if a cop in Iraq did that it would make the news?

That was totally uncalled for by any standards! I hope they all get criminal charges brought on them and they get the same treatment!

I agree with you, Guiseppi. That's where the problem with "bad" cops is. It takes a special person to be a good cop. I'm not sure why, but many police forces fail to weed out the riffraff.
Here in NM, the Albuquerque PD and NM state police are top notch. They eliminate many potential officers due to those psyche profiles. Guess where the rejected go? To the County and local PDs. 
Most cops are good cops, but we only hear about the bad ones.

Not sure why you aren't able to access it.
The police officers arrived by the thousands -- members of a family bound not by blood, but by a uniform and a badge.
They were joined by countless other mourners Friday, inside a cavernous South Los Angeles church and throughout the region, to honor slain Los Angeles Police Officer Randal Simmons. The 51-year-old officer was remembered as a deeply religious man, devoted husband, caring father and model cop in a tearful three-hour funeral service.

Simmons was shot and killed last week during a tense standoff with a San Fernando Valley gunman who already had killed three members of his family. He is the first member of the city's elite Special Weapons and Tactics unit to be killed in the line of fire since its start nearly 40 years ago.
Ten thousand people -- most of them police and other law enforcement officers -- filled the Crenshaw Christian Center's Faith Dome on Vermont Avenue. The funeral, attended by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other elected and civic officials, was the largest in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Simmons' death reverberated throughout Southern California. Television stations carried the funeral live and uninterrupted for hours. Thousands of people lined closed city streets to watch as the hearse traveled to the Culver City cemetery where Simmons would be buried. At Slauson Avenue near Angeles Vista Boulevard, several hundred people, including the elderly and preschool students holding their parents' hands, remained long after the hearse had passed. Some applauded. Others held "Thank You" signs.
Villaraigosa, whose children Simmons had once guarded, acknowledged to mourners that the death had hit the community hard.
"It touches a particular nerve way deep in our souls, and it hurts," Villaraigosa said. "I've thought a lot over the last few days about why that is, and I think it has something to do with the fact that the entire city community loses when we lose a police officer."
A video montage played at the service highlighted the many aspects of Simmons' life, from childhood through fatherhood, including his work on the streets of inner-city neighborhoods where he ministered to children on weekends. Images of an intimidating, chiseled officer carrying heavy weapons in the midst of missions were set off by others that hinted of a man at ease and with a sense of humor. In one, he was seen hamming for the camera as he and his longtime partner, Officer James Veenstra, playfully put handcuffs on Santa Claus.
Speaker after speaker recounted memories of the man known at the LAPD as "The Rock."
