Aurora Boys In Blue
My favorite line of the whole article was........... "The feeling here at the Aurora Police Department is disbelief again."

It only takes two idiots to ruin a reputation..
Lordy its getting old, you just GOTTA do better than that and have some GD COMMON SENSE. Fire em, shit I'd lose my job if that happened. But lemme guess, they will get put on disciplinary bullshit suspension.
Talk about -another- black eye to the APD.
Perfect, glad they could represent my profession really well...Originally Posted by Colorado Luckydog
And I wonder why they didn't want to hire me...maybe I don't drink and drive enough.
Most PD's they would be gone after a review, but APD and similar agencies have a union that allows them to stay if it's their only real offense after they have been disciplined.
they are just people like you and me, are not perfect and share the same problems as anyone else.
maybe they had PTSD?
you don't know if they did or not. and if they did the last thing they need is judgment from you.
on top of that, the report from the media is biased and only tells one side of the story, you should keep quiet until all the facts are known.
and unless you're ever served and know the stresses of the job you have no right to comment.
sorry, read a lot of glocktalk during my ban. I think I hit most of the standard talking points. feel free to point out any ones I missed.
They obviously didn't see any potential in you.......... to f--k up!
I think everyone has the right to comment - this is America correct? I don't go around telling non-military that they can't comment on military actions. Hell, it happens all of the time on this board.
I am a combat veteran (like many on this board) with PTSD. I will tell you this, if I got pulled over for a DUI, that would be the end of my career - period.
You are correct, that there is only one side of story. Maybe they were also high on crack?
KevDen, you've been a great resource on here. I don't want to come across as bitter or an LEO basher, I'm just tired of seeing this stuff get more and more prevalent.
Elhuero,
Please spare the PC crap. "They are people just like you and me". So are murderers, rapists, and drug dealers. What would two Aurora cops have PTSD from? From cops being killed in another state? RIP cops in SD, but come on, what a COP out. Yes the media is biased, but the breathalyzer and the beer in a squad car...is not. Call me nuts, but when I was little I looked up to Police Officers, and thought they always held themselves at a higher standard because I saw them like that, and they were there to protect and serve. And unless I've ever served I don't know the stresses? So that gives you the right as cop to drink and drive because its soooo stressful, or rough up someone because it soo stressful? Really man? No, it doesn't one bit and I'm tired of hearing it. If my job was so stressful it made me drink and drive at 6pm on my way home from work, well shit I'd have to say that's not the job for me.
