My Sunday morning wakeup call...NEVER get involved with a cop. They think they're gods gift!
You're correcto mundo. That's why cops hang around with cops!. No one else can stand them! The poor husband! Well, does that woman want the cop now? Be interesting to see.
omg. Well, the most dishonest person I ever knew was a cop. And many of them are also drunks!
they're not all crooked.
So called bb gun could have been planted.
But would the wife go along with that? That would be low!
At a park, late at night. hard to believe they could have planned it. sick dam cops.
Planted BB gun? anything is possible. Police lie all the time to cover things up.
Wow, can't believe this! And that loser cop is on vacation with FULL PAY!
Where do you think they got the pellet gun?
they were both married. of course the cop had no good intentions. Wonder what his wife says.
Are you the cop from Ceres?
Was the cop charged with anything? Is the wife still with the cop?
You misspelled know and thieves, one step below trailer trash
Its really pathetic how people could comment on quout unquote how its ok if someone is beat to death for shoplifting but cry fowl when a gun is pulled on a off duty officer and he uses his gun to protect himself
Justice prevails officer cleared of all charges.sad for the children and family of Jason but he pulled what appeared to be a gun on officer and the officer reacted.
