I usually agree with you gdog. I know your intelligence and i find it hard to believe that you actually think all the cops did was drive by and say nothing was going on. CSB drops the ball quite a bit. Not saying everyone who works there is terrible, but their main job is to investigate things like this. If there is no initial signs that a police officer can see than a report is done and forwarded to CSB. Especially if the complaint is made by a neighbor. I know that police departments take these crimes very seriously and Struther's PD has very professional men and women working for them.
I was thinking the same thing. Look at the video closer... I don't think he even has boots on. I myself think that if I were to break the rules, I'd at least be looking crisp and clean. Maybe he has a leg injury or something, I don't know, but still I wouldn't be looking like that. God bless him for wanting to do the right thing but what people on here don't realize like you and I do, the Marine Corps has time honored traditions and in the highest of discipline which sets us waaaayyy apart from the other services. I can honestly say I commend him for trying to do the right thing but as a Staff NCO he should definitely know better. Something just isn't sitting right about this. Guns-Semper Fi brother and be safe over there. Was there myself the majority of 2005.
Blacks are the only ones who were discriminated against? Bill Cosby said it best, "Saying you're African American is like white people saying they're European American." Unless you were born outside of this country you are an American. My heritage is Irish-Italian, but I am an American. This is just ridiculous and we as a society have let it happen. All men created equal? Ring a bell anyone? We have gone far away from that.
Are you kidding me?! He shoots a cop in the face and his piece of trash family wants to complain about him getting tuned up? He's lucky that's all he got!!!
I have known plenty of people who drive for part of their job that were charged with OVI. They did not lose their job. Why? Because in most circumstances the judge gives "work driving privileges". Why not in this case?
Then he admits to trying to the right thing by driving a friend. I'm sure that someone will have answers for that, they always do on here.
Did they say what his record looked like? Was this a first infraction? All they touched on was that he had seven years on the job. Cops are people too. they make mistakes. Why can't they be given second chances like all the criminals they arrest over and over?
Until they try to use it for discipline. That's right, cops shouldn't be allowed to stop home and eat to save money. They shouldn't be able to read the paper to see whats going on in society either. How dare they take a break like other people with "real" jobs!
Non-public servants know the law as well.......why the different standards? I agree that you should take your punishment, but do other people lose their job when they get an ovi? i think him losing his job is the higher standard. Hopefully he gets it back because i'm sure the lesson has been learned.
Man criticizes lack of gun-policy signs at restaurants
A comment about eating somewhere and not needing a gun. I live my life by this and with today's world I'd suggest it for everyone.
"I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it."

Fired Struthers cop loses bid to get job back
Exactly! Well put gdog. Most people don't lose their jobs for an OVI. How many people work the line at GM drunk? Any reason to bash a cop!
