Not much difference between the cops and a protection racket in this case.
Didn't something similar recently occur in PDX? (without the threats)
It's so sad when LEOs think they are above the law

Well, I know the officers at PPB have much more character than this guy in Daytona Beach. I have less faith in ol' Randy Leonard whose first order of business to produce a 2 month public safety study was to exclude the Chief of police. He has since apologized.

Here in good old Portland, the cops can shoot a man in the back and keep their job. Too bad this coffee thieving cop didn't have Robert King to go to bat for him.

what none said. I often stare open-mouthed at some of the statements that Mr. King makes on behalf of his members. There is no integrity there, and I really think he does a disservice to the wonderful, dedicated ethical police officers that we really DO have when he continues to defend the thugs amongst them so vociferously.

Yes, at the 7-11 at NE Weidler and 3rd. Officer Lindsay Hunt was fired for snitching on the officers involved. It looked a little odd that the police had a round the clock presence at that store, but they don't seem to camp there any more.
