I'm wondering what you guys think of this topic? I have a background in law enforcement and it always bothered me when other LEOs abused their authority and acted like it was no big deal. Or when a cop was accused of wrong-doing, there was this automatic jump to defend him (or her). But every person they thought was guilty, was guilty as far as they were concerned.
This article talks about an LA County Sheriff's Deputy who is accused of raping two female inmates. Sheriff McDonnell quickly arrested the guy...within five hours! Apparently, and I'm reading between the lines here, there was probably some surveillance video that supported the accusations. I'm curious what you guys think about how instances like this should be treated.
Full disclosure: I wrote the article. But I was genuinely surprised at some of the reaction I got.
