Oh my god, Brian and I agree on something? WTF is going on here??? :)[/quote]

FLU: Take a deep breath, dude. Now, let it out. It happened to me, too. Relax. It had to happen eventually. Remember the Law of Big Numbers. Or, the old saw about if enough monkeys jump on enough typewriters, eventually you’ll get the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Now, if it happens more than once…

I don’t like that they’re targeting him b/c of the fact he’s a cop.

It’s not entirely clear that they are targeting him because he’s a cop – it could also be due to the severity of the damage.

Either way, law enforcement/DAs don’t have the resources to go after every criminal and they never will. They have to be selective – so how do they decide?

Here’s a common-sense answer: Choosing to pursue dirty cops gives the most bang for the buck, since they catch a criminal *and* they get a bad cop off the street. Any cop who behaves in this way is very likely to be poor-performing cop (at best) and the possibly into much worse. Given the choice to prosecute one of two people when the evidence of a crime is so overwhelming, it will always benefit the public more to go after the cop.

The general idea that this guy (or any cop) should get a break because he’s a cop is ridiculous. Let’s not forget that 99% of people are *not* criminals, and most people who go through foreclosures do not maliciously destroy property. If the vast majority of society can live to a certain standard, I sure hope we can expect our law enforcement to do the same.

I think I made very clear that I am not condoning his actions. I just don’t like the selective nature. There are plenty of people trashing places. This is not the first incident. The issue I take is the headline of “cops” setting aside the wife “realtor” was involved. It’s like realtors can walk on water. God knows, they’ve done more than their share of damage the past decade.

The cop should be punished. Along w/many other FBs trashing their place. Less now that banks are doing cash for keys. The cop is a moron. He is held to a higher standard. And he could be living for free. He is a disgrace to all cops.

All that set aside, let’s hear about some more people that should be prosecuted and a few headlines about how the realtor isn’t wearing a halo.

Media trying to arouse the public to be angry at the cop for what he did. What about the realtor? What about the countless other people doing the very same thing?
