If it was an anonymous tip ..... how could that info been valid still by the time they got enough officers to the intersection to effect the stops? how long do you spend at a red light ? 1-2 mins TOPS? By the time the tip was called in , dispatched, and officers arrived . the bad guy would be long gone ( which he was). What they think the dude was just hanging out at the intersection?
APD needs a smack in the back of the head over this . And since you can;t actually smack them in the back of the head , it means they are gunna get sued. and they should be.

I love it... Keep going... :)
Maybe that's why we're so upset, because the people that were there aren't upset, but should be.Quote:

I wasn't in Nazi Germany in the 40's but I'm still upset over the "final solution"
WHY I do I have to be there and part of it to be bothered/upset/concerned/pissed off by it ?

I bet you're the same people that bitch when someone gets away... Or you're the same ones that bitch when the police don't help you out.. Right away.. When you demand it.. Cuz you're important..
Let's just say... For shits and giggles... The Aurora Police didn't do what they did... Robber gets away... Car jacks a mother and her two children... Now he has hostages... They corner him... He freaks out... Kills all three of them...
Now you're all going to bitch because they didn't catch the guy at the intersection when they had a chance...
Here's a plan... All of you that are bitching about the way this was handled, and HAVE NOT BEEN ONE... Go be a cop for a day. Just ONE DAY. Then, if you're not too busy crying, come back and tell us how you feel. [ROFL1]

Whats the old Franklin Quote?... Something about giving up rights for safety and security deserves neither.... how's that one go ?

I've actually been in a situation kind of like this. Yeah, it sucked, but the people they were looking for got caught. Could I have sued? Probably... Why didn't I? Because the 4 douche bags running drugs got caught and my night was "ruined" for a whole 20 minutes. Well worth it to see 4 felons hauled off to jail...

Oh, and, if you wanna play that... If the idiot that called in the tip would have been smarter, none of this would have happened... Why don't you blame him/her?
Oh that's right... Because it's not their fault... The police should just ignore all those tips... My bad.
