Jury Finds Ex-Colts Player Josh Mcnary Not Guilty On All Counts In Rape Case

[csmopar]

Yawn. I have zero issues with police. Seen bad ones and good ones.

But spare me the life on the line for low pay. They aren't forced into their career choice. There are many jobs that put one in danger. Home health nurses, firemen, EMT's and others. It doesn't give those professions the right to act like they are above the law.

 

Very true. On all counts

I APPRECIATE the fact they feel called to serve. Thank god for them and many others like military, fireman, etc etc. It isn't about the money to them or they would find a better job. It's a passion to help people and protect those that can't protect themselves. I'm thankful for everyone that does that type of job and they are just one of many but just because they aren't the only ones and they had the choice of doing anything else doesn't mean we shouldn't be thankful they chose it nor do I think they do it to be above the law. Nobody should think they are above the law....most of them are just trying to protect the law and others and sometimes some go too far and get carried away but that is few and far between. Any traffic stop or any burning house could be their last...most are doing an honorable job and don't deserve the perception they are evil or above the law. They aren't running around like Judge Dredd.

sorry

 

No need to apologize.    I don't think you're the one who hi-jacked this thread.....

 

No worries.....

yea because every cop is a law-biding citizen

Who said all were?

Although, poor decisions by McNary played a part.  Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

Biggest lie ever told

Biggest lie ever told

 

Ummmmmmm. How is drinking late into the night, picking up a random person, and bringing them home a smart decision?  Better judgement on his part would have never put him into this situation.

Sounds like a good time to me

I agree, I imagine he is enjoying being out of a job and paying lawyers.

[NewColtsFan]

I've never met a decent cop in my life and I never expect to

 

You aren't very old, so I would hope that would happily change for you.      Seriously.

 

Most every cop I've met has been decent.

I just do it before midnight so none of that bad stuff ever happens.

I teach my now 16 year old daughter to exercise some personal responsibility and don't put herself in such a position. There's a reason why so many people say you shouldn't place yourself in sexual situations with complete strangers, you should only do such a thing with someone you trust. This goes for men and women, celebrity and average Joe alike.

 

As fun as a one night stand can be, you're committing to a profoundly intimate act with a person you know absolutely nothing about.

 

These "rape" cases aren't referring to some creep dragging a hapless woman into a 1976 Ford van. We're talking about a woman stumbling around downtown, bar-hoping, looking for a good time. Not that she deserved what she got (if anything happened at all), but she has some responsibility for the position she put herself in. 

 

Early in this thread people were discussing how you could prove rape, how one could protect themselves from false rape accusations. Well.... how about not having sex with people you know nothing about? That's a good start, isn't it? 

 

People these days like to scoff and laugh at the idea of having a moral compass, but then we get these many reports of suspicious sounding "rape" allegations every week. Most of which only occur after someone makes a decision to put themselves in incredibly intimate situations with total strangers. Err on the side of caution, that's what juries tend to do. If there's no absolute proof of guilt, then they tend to vote not guilty. As it should be.

First, I want to say if Josh is truly innocent, then good for him that his name has been cleared.

 

Secondly,  I want to comment on the Cop bashing.  Too much of this going on everywhere, and as some have already stated in this thread, there are bad apples in every profession.  Good Cops, Bad Cops  ~ they are out there.

 

I am friends with a few police officers in my city.  And I personally have never had any bad dealings with any police officer.

 

My best friends son is a Police Officer, and   I have two Officers that live on my street, and I am very happy to know each of them and feel protected in my city.

My brother is a 14 year IMPD officer. I've been on a few ride-alongs with him and the crap people give them.....just disgusting. It amazed me how people want to deflect their mistakes onto the person charged with upholding law. 

 

I watched as half a block of residents screamed and yelled at my brother and the other responding officers for "being mean and rough" with the suspect they had caught. They were referring to the mace spewing from his eyes and the scrapes on his face, blood dripping from his nose. He fought like hell, ran on foot through several yards after running like hell in a stolen vehicle that he had crashed into a woman with children in her vehicle.

 

These people didn't care at all about this menace to their neighborhood, putting them all at risk for his own selfish desire to get away with stealing a vehicle that no doubt belonged to a resident of the neighborhood. All they cared about was how mean the police were to this piece of garbage. These neighborhoods will never improve. I'm not even going to use the word "until".....forget it...lost cause...they will never improve. 

 

Some say that police are a threat to the citizens in certain neighborhoods, and I agree. It is with this that I propose operation "Keep 'Em Out". Let's start protecting these high crime neighborhoods from the police by constructing a 20 foot tall wall all around the neighborhood. Cover the top of it with broken glass and razor-wire, electrify the fence surrounding it. This will certainly keep these mean police officers out of their neighborhoods. 

 

It's time we do something and offer people that are afraid of cops a choice, a place to live without the terror of police. This wall will keep 'em out. I'm waiting to hear back from my senator.
