We're the Only Ones First Responder Enough

Cop Arrests Man For Taking Wife To Emergency Room [More]
I wish I could say "Unbelievable" instead of "What now?"

Seems like grounds for armed defense to me...protocol or not.

Law Enforcement officer v. Peace officer.

Unless Mr. Wright is coerced into plea bargaining by a prosecutor who is more concerned with collecting revenue than in the pursuit of justice these charges will be dropped. Of course, win lose or draw, this is going to cost Mr. Wright several hundred dollars that he might not have available to donate to the city/county coffers.

It’s pretty obvious that government schools, police academies, law schools, and many parents don’t teach or recognize the virtue of good sense and compassion.

At the direction of Chief Rawlston the Internal Affairs Division will continue the Internal Affairs investigation and will also take a look at policy and procedures involving these types of incidents, supervisory responsibilities and training issues.

We deeply regret this incident has occurred and hope to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Wright at their earliest convenience to discuss the events of June 16."
