I attribute the spitting incidents to those in sever dislike of US Government policypolicy at that time. Not to servicemembers screwing up.

Typical partisan bullshit! Nobody could be worse than Bart ‘Smiley’ Peterson.

You still don’t get it. Apparently you never will.
I am not affiliated with IMPD. While I don’t condone ANY of the unprofessionalism associated with the Bisard case, I’m not ready to throw the entire department under the bus as you and your family have. That’s fine, you think how you want. It’s just laughably ironic to me that you who have allegedly been spit on because a few idiots lumped you in with a few idiots from the service’s actions are ready to follow that same lead with the local PD. Defintely ironic. I’m just pointing it out. If there is anyone “whining”, look in the mirror.

20yrs, 3 mo, 13 days… PCS assignments in Tactical & Strategic Reconnaissance units as a crewdog. The rest was a SAC HRP/PRP wrench-bender & Combat Crew member. Over 50% of my total active time was TDY to overseas locations. Ribbon rack, (and all devices), ends somewhere near the shoulder seam. Whoopie. Like it’s gonna get me a cup of coffee anywhere in the civilian world. (In case you have not noticed, on this side of our society, folks do not care a hoot about the technicolor over the left breast.)

My opinions about the IMPD were formed when 2 1/2 years ago I was sitting on a bench with a couple of old fellas from the VA, just prior to the Veterans Day Parade & was told to “Move along or get your head busted, Tonto.” by those wonderful thin blue line fellers…

Mayor’s office never responded to my calls or letters. (Plural).

IMPD has now, with the latest Bisard foul-up, lost any and all respect from me, my family (several other Vets in there), and my adult children.

You folks in IMPD have EARNED every bit of disrespect you are currently receiving.

Now self-correct. If you don’t like the fact that 1% of your pals in blue set the tune for how all are viewed, fix it. If you ain’t part of the solution, you are then a big part of the problem.

‘Till then, go whine elsewhere.

21 years service, 9 of which were spent overseas. Combat Arms. CIB, Heart, Bronze Star. And a hell of a lot more scalps hanging off my belt than you ever dreamt of. In my spare time I volunteer as a PTSD counselor with various vet groups.

The only thing sad is your presumptions. About me and the local PD. So you go ahead and spout your illogical bullshit, and I’ll just continue to laugh.

Yes, I can grasp the concept.

I can also grasp that those supervisors FAILED to properly train their subordinates, and drill home the necessity of standards of conduct that holding employment payed by the taxpayer requires for said taxpayers to TRUST them.

That’s not a difficult concept to wrap your little gray matter around… or is it?

I don’t get mad at the checkout clerk when they mess up…. I get mad at the idiot who hired & trained them.

Typical liberal…. wants everyone around them to protect them, while they live good & whine.

You are the reason people like Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Pol-Pot, Kim Jong-il and other murderers wiped out over 100 million people in the last 90 years.

Sad. Bet your cat left you too.

Cry me a river ‘pal’. You werent drafted, and you could have gotten out after one hitch but you re-upped more than once. You want support and encouragement?

*its….
Can you grasp the concept that the vast majority of officers were either off duty or working other assignments when this tragedy occurred and had absolutely NOTHING to do with this case? Yet you and many others want to lump them all in the same group. Irrational.
