The father of the motorcycle victim was on the Early Show this morning. He had enough to deal with behind losing his son, which is a pain I hope no one here ever experiences, and then he has this jerk of a cop blowing off the friend who called it in like it was a crank call.
Apparently, folks reading this thread missed this part of the article:
"Peasley, who was working the dispatch desk in the Troop E barracks in Montville, was punished after an internal affairs investigation for several offenses, including conduct unbecoming a police officer, inefficient action and lack of decorum, police said."
Should this trooper be fired 4832What LEA do you work for, jaybird? I've had some experience with Texas cops. No, I've never been arrested, so you can forget the idea that...

Should this trooper be fired 4833I probably wouldn't actually do that, but I actually am genuinely curious now. I gather it's somewhere in the Houston area. Fortunately, I'm not familiar with every PD in...
I predict this officer will have
The only times I have known police officers to be fired is when they are caught selling drugs on the job or having kiddie love on their computer. But when an unarmed suspect is shot to rest, the grand jury will not hand down an indictment. That being the case, does anybody truly believe that being rude to a 911 caller is grounds for dismissal to an 18-year veteran?
I think a proper way to handle this is give him a 5 day rip and rebuttign him to a job where he doesn't come into contact with the general public. Police forces need to realize that being nice to their employers (us) goes a long way toward instilling loyalty to cops. I don't mean baby-talk suspects, but there is no cause to be rude just because they have a badge and a gun.
And just for the record, my dad was a decorated bureau detective, my mom was a court reporter, and her mom was a PO. So much for being a cop-hater :)
