There sure are some dumb cops out there
 

Rookie Tampa Bay cop gets busted for saying he would shoot both of the Bushes if someone gave him the bullets.

Facing 5 years in jail now.

Warning to you dummies that talk shit, they take that stuff serious

There was a thread about it earlier today ... it moved fast :P

Now he really have a good reason to hate him :P

fuck free speech, huh?

free speech does not allow you to yell "fire" in a crowded theatre either

I thought you were smarter that that

oh geez here we go again


<---- time stamp pic here ----->

:warning

:ak47: :ak47: :helpme

psst . . . . look when the thread was started

actually I believe it been a law for a long time that you can't make a threat like that about the president. Sad the guys life will be ruined for just making a stupid comment

hes an idiot

it has been a law for a century . . . . I think Tampa Bay is lucky they found this guy early in his probationary period . . . give an idiot like that a badge and a gun and you are bound to have trouble

The cop is a Nigerian immigrant LOL! Welcome to civilization. Have fun behind bars in your new country where the rule of law is king!

Wasnt that officer assigned to the unit that was to protect Bush when he came to the city there? Maybe thats why they took the threat so serious:2 cents:

He can claim that he was talking about junipers...

yeah... remind me of the republican woman (senator?.. dont remember) .. that said if she could she'd kill britney spears... I guess Britney's life is not considered valuable enough for that woman to face criminal charges...

no . . . someone asked him if he was, he said "no, and I would shoot both of them if someone gave me the bullets."

He is an idiot

dumbass

I guess the difference being that it is illegal to make threats against the President of the United States. It has been for some hundred years. Britney Spears enjoys no such legal protection.

bahaha thats fucking stupid! they dont even carry guns over here!

Further proof that there is no free speech in this country. Everything you were taught was a lie. :)

you were never taught that you can say whatever you want . . .you were not paying attention if that is what you garnered from it.

5 years is excessive, even for that stupid comment! :2 cents:

that's dumb! but, yeah...there's exceptions about the freedom of speech. even on this board. :winkwink:

Free speech doesn't cover death threats, slander or libel.

Considering the danger of the job and the typical low pay, I would say most cops are stupid.

five years for only saying that,,,,,,,,shit i better watch my mouth

i'll put a bullet in the president if given a chance.

glad i don't live in America (though i'm sure millions are being spend to echelon my online activities regardless)...

You gave an army to Bush ....

and he is an idiot ....

1 + 1 = 2

if you think the secret Service can't reach into Canada you are kidding yourself

Yeah he is an idiot because he is a cop and should already have bullets.

:1orglaugh

Yup You can't threaten the President. Marilyn Manson almost got in trouble for lyrics that say "here is my anti president gun" in the lyrics to one of his songs. Do you think they will ever Kill Osama ?

The Police is one of the few organsations where one can get denied the job for being to inteligent :1orglaugh

It's sounds funny but it's the truth.

I remeber reading a story about a 12 year old kid that sent an email to the president saying he was going to kill him. The secret service was at his door in 4 hours.

whats wrong with that?

:1orglaugh

hasn't everyone done that? lol

he was on probation, maybe they had not issued him a gun yet

Eminem got problems with the feds too

it's a dumb thing to say, but it's dumb to be subject to a prison term for just idly saying it IMO


Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill alleged that Mazagwu said words to the effect: "The president needs to be shot. His father needs to be shot. If someone gave me bullets, I would do that. I would shoot them in the head."


I hear people post/say similar things all the time and I know many more think it and looking at the words of the statement, he was clearly joking... he could have got some bullets and done the deed if he actually planned on doing it... there are differences between a statement and an actual threat...

I'm sure he thought Bush was guilty of war crimes and in many ways I actually agree that Bush is guilty of war crimes since he started a war based on little and trumped-up evidence and killed many innocent people and sacrificed soldiers' lives..... What's the penalty for someone else for war crimes?

It's good for the Secret Service to investigate him and question him because of his occupation and location, but automatically qualifying for a prison term for something like that is wrong IMO....

who said that? not i. i wasn't joking when i mentioned echelon. i'm sure the NSA keyword scanners blimped as soon as this thread was started.

If only someone had of given him the bullets earlier ;)
