To Protect and to Serve II

A DEA Agent Got a Drug Dealer to Buy a Truck So the Agent Could Seize it Through Asset Forfeiture

The U.S. government's indictment alleged that from at least 2009 to 2016, Scott and two other members of a New Orleans drug task force conspired to steal money from suspects and from the DEA's evidence locker, and to falsify records to cover their tracks.
Part of Scott's misconduct involved getting a Houston drug dealer to purchase a $43,000 Ford F-150 so that Scott could seize it through asset forfeiture laws and then use it as a work vehicle. Scott falsified seizure records to make it appear that he had taken the truck in Louisiana.
 
Well, in our defense...quite a number of us are Deplorable Domestic Terrorists, according to Hillary and the San Francisco Board of Commissioners, so we are clearly deserving of every ounce of scathing hatred and criticism that you can lay upon us.

Matters not to me. I didn't sign up for a popularity contest. I took an oath to serve and protect. Your politics or opinions matter not to me. You going home to your family at the end of the day does. And if you're one of those who preys on the innocent, well...I have a place for you at the end of the day as well.

When you dial 911, it's not Bernie, AOC, Trump, Omar, the FBI, ICE, BLM, Antifa, or the San Francisco Board of Commissioners that show up. It's us, the local folks. We have our bad apples, but we do the best we can with what we have.

If you've ever pulled your last $10 bill out of your wallet to feed a homeless transient, I'll let you lecture me. Otherwise, go walk a mile in the shoes of those you think you are better than. Bring extra underwear. You can't hit "Start Game Over" on the streets.
 
My first thought was all the cops standing around watching them beat a teen should be charged with violating Good Samaritan laws. But then I think their counter would be that the cops have no duty to protect you. Even if the people assaulting you are cops.
I thought the good Samaritan laws protected the good Samaritan from lawsuits for rendering aid? Not forcing someone to render aid. Am I wrong in that?

Some places have laws that say it’s illegal to see someone committing a crime against another and do nothing about it. Not that you have to intervene but at least call 911. But the irony is the people enforcing that law have no duty to protect you.
 
The same thing happened when DeBlasio pizzed off the cops up there after a few of the boys in blue got attacked and killed and the cops responded by not writing tickets and arresting people. Life was probably never better during that two week period in NYC.

Well...unless you were the families of those "few of the boys in blue that got attacked and killed."

Probably not a good two weeks for them.
