Wrong, I would have arrested him for battery, providing the union punk wanted to press charges... I'm an equal opportunity Copper... I don't give a shit how old, or what color you are, you break the law, you break the law.

Is scumbagcop one word or two?
If a woman's b/f slaps her around but she refuses to press charges the cops have no choice in the matter they must arrest the b/f...so why do you need the victims permission in this case???is it because you feel he is a punk and not really deserving of all of he rights and immunities you and other citizens enjoy?

Because it's a he said/he said situation, and if I didn't witness the battery, and the victim doesn't press charges, what exactly should I arrest him for?

Dude, you obviously don't understand how the law works, keep your uneducated opinions to yourself.

Domestic violence laws do not require a cop to witness that assault either... its a he said/he or she said kinda deal.

But we can't do shit if the victim declines pressing charges. What part of that fact is escaping you?

Trayvon Martin didn't have a hankie shoved in his mouth either... Your point?

In a domestic violence case in TN, with the law written as it is, if there's a call, someone is going to jail whether charges are pressed or not.
If an officer sees so much as a scratch or a popped shirt button, that's probable cause even if the aggrieved party specifically says they don't want charges.

My point is that criminal charges can be filed based on information and belief, and that your excuse about the video not being sufficient evidence for that information and belief aren't offered in Good Faith.

Didnt public video evidence bring the Rodney King case to light. I seem to recall the cops watching the obvious assault didnt arrest anyone.

Did Rodney King sue the city, and the LAPD? Wasn't the video used as EVIDENCE in the trial?

So it's OBVIOUS that he filed charges against the cops who beat him... Yet another strawman burned in effigy.[8|]

This incident didn't happen in Tenn. Again, if I witnessed the incident, I'd have asked the union guy if he wanted to press charges, if he said yes, I'd have arrested the old fuck. If he said no, I'd have separated the two and that would be the end of it.

Supidity abounds whenever you post. Kings case ONLY took off when TV stations showed the beating on the news. The case also blows apart your theory that cops watching an assualt will charge those involved.
