Many comments have been posted on this site about the last corrupt cop posting. I have this to say about all of this.
It doesn't matter if Anthony is the nicest guy on the planet. The fact of the matter is that he took photos of himself and his penis and they ended up on the internet. We entrust the police to carry guns and entrust them with the power to take away our freedom when they believe we have committed a crime. We expect with these responsibilities, that they live their lives in an honorable manner. Their off-duty actions dictate their effectiveness on-duty. Anthony has failed to live up to these high standards that we asked of him.
I don't like seeing anyone get into trouble for a few pictures. BUT, I can pretty much guarantee that there are more pictures and more negative information that Anthony has brought upon the Albany police and the profession of policing. This is most likely the tip of the iceberg. If the Albany police knew about the pictures then there are more to be held accountable in this matter. I have heard rumors that the Albany police department is as corrupt as the Corvallis police and I don't doubt it.
It is long past the time where we demand that the police conduct themselves in an honorable manner and that we hold them to a higher standard.
your right we dont blame you , but your right their are sum good cops and 90% bad in albany , so keep up the good work and i would love to see a anthony poster , ill pay top dollor for that ,
ReplyDeleteI'm finding this post particularly interesting. You see, I happen to be privy (much moreso than I can guarantee you are) on what has and has not happened with this incident. I agree with this particular story and also am in agreement with the fact that in this specific incident, this individual has conducted himself in many ways which would have gotten most officers fired at other agencies. However, I am also turmoiled in agreeing with anything you really have to say about most things because once again, having much more information about most of the subjects you post about clearly indicates that you are mostly just another uneducated individual who loves to "think" he has the whole story about these issues. I notice you love to use the typical buzz words like "cover up", "corrupt", "honorable", etc. Clearly you are speaking as though police officers are not people. That they don't have personal lives off duty. Guess what?? Some of them drink alcohol! Some of them watch adult movies! I bet some of them have maybe even been to adult entertainment clubs before!!!! Eeeeeeek! Hold the phone everyone! We can't have morally degraded people like that protecting us!!! I find it so ironic that those who are not in the profession are so quick to judge those that are. Oh.. and for things that they did in their own private lives. Clearly in the case with Officer Hawley, this did not occur with another consenting adult. But luckily in most cases, it is. It is only the vindictive people like you that feel the need to crucify law enforcement professionals because apparently you didn't have a good interaction with one or more. If you had the slightest clue about really what goes on within the ranks, or if you simply didn't have waaaaay too much time on your hands, you likely wouldn't write most of the highly inaccurate information on here and would find a more productive hobby. But then again, who would keep the poor public abreast of all the horrible corruption surrounding them????
