who cares? what does greatlakes know about law enforcement, transporting of prisoners, and the specifics of this incident - to the extent that it's the "dumbest thing she's (he's) read?" her (his) additional commentary that it's "courtesy [of] oakland co sheriff" suggests an agenda here - especially since the officer, according to the article, quote: note that the sole responsibility for this so-called "dumb" act rests solely with o.c. sheriff. greatlakes, you credibility is on probation. | ||

PG, no you're not getting banned... you'd be warned first. We just brought some Non-Detroit Issues type of comments here to where the grown ups post!  | ||

The "dumbest" part refers to this: quote: i.e. a law enforcement officer put an inmate in the front seat of a car that could be opened from the inside, and so sure enough that's what the guy did. The reference to the Oakland Co. Sheriff was just to provide additional details about the contents of the OP in the title...and yes, I put "courtesy [of]" as well because they are the agency responsible for this incident, which I think is pretty ridiculous, but apparently not, since I don't know all the details of prisoner transport. Did someone think this was an attack on Detroit/DPD or something asinine like that? (Message edited by GreatLakes on November 01, 2007) | ||

Funniest line I ever heard from a prisoner. About 1971 my partner and I, working the 10th precinct Detective Bureau, had to go to Kalamazoo to pick up a prisoner we had a warrant for. Got there and got our man. Handcuffed and in the back seat, me sitting with him. Passing through Jackson, he noted a MacDonalds and said, "Want a Big Mac? I'm buying." We declined the offer, but it kind of ripped us up. | ||

greatlakes, thanks for your response. you suggest the "dumbest part" refers to this: quote: but - what about this??? quote: i'm really curious about the communication breakdown, regarding the expectation that the deputy would be transporting one prisoner, instead of three. and i wonder why the deputy agreed to, or felt compelled to, load all three detainees. he could have transported three, two, one, or zero prisoners. we don't know who gave the order to transport all three, or the rationale for that decision. and who knows, maybe this is a routine protocol that ordinarily has worked well, and had justifiable risk (petty offender/low flight risk?) |
