There’s no reason to think Deputy Lawler will be weeded out or that his fellow officers will make fun of him based on at least one of his local le showing up to assist him.
Also, there was the Alabama LE volunteering to escalate Deputy Lawler’s deprivation of rights incident in to a conspiracy to commit deprivation of rights.
The argument that one officer was there to show some kind of support has no bearing at all on the outcome. Zero.
There was more than one le trying to assist him, the sheriff hasn’t taken any(or at least not any meaningful) action against him, and their behavior is inline with similar incidents involving Columbia County and Okaloosa County deputies.
If any of the back ups ever handled this correctly(disarming the instigator followed by having them sit on the ground like a dog in cuffs) these incidents would mostly cease to occur.
Some of the counties in Florida are garbage. They are the blue counties. Most are not. Mine (Volusia) isn’t. Grouping all LE together isn’t accurate.
Boca is NYC with palm trees. I was there last night. My buddy lives there.
It seems hard to believe that at least 2 dud cops from Leon County were able to link up with a fellow dud cop from Alabama(along with the plethora of recorded incidents featuring backup le assisting obviously wayward le no matter how criminal the behavior) if 99% of cops are remotely living up to advertised claims.
When I start seeing responding officers treating their colleagues who commit violent criminal acts like the violent criminals they are instead of assisting them i will start giving thumbs up to the incidents.
Should be a simple standard to meet.
We get it. You hate cops. No matter any evidence that there is to the contrary, you only look at the bad, ignore the good and go from there. No one will convince you otherwise, and vice versa. Lets move along.
Why should I admire the Leon County deputies trying to wrongfully arrest a man for pumping gas as well as their colleague from Alabama who was wanting to assist them?
You shouldn’t. Nobody here thinks you should, but to group them altogether because you collect and find a bunch of negative events without also considering the positive ones is erroneous on your part and shows your bias.
Where are the positive players related to the incidents I have shared? I haven’t noticed anyone like these:

Since you allege that I am biased against anyone that is employed by a police/sheriff’s department I should be incapable of giving those parties a thumbs up, yet here we are.
Also, it isn’t just the police/sheriff employees that create/condone/continue the problem as seen here.
Are you seriously asking to find a positive player in a negative incident event and using that argument as support for yours? Really?
So if I find a bunch of positive events and there is no negative players in it, then I guess that proves my case then?
Seriously? What kind of mental mumbo jumbo are you using here?
You insinuated earlier the behavior shown wasn’t tolerated, but i have shared actual examples that it is frequently tolerated, condoned, and encouraged.
Yes, it’s tolerated in the few negative cases that you brought up, but that doesn’t mean it is tolerated everywhere. How can you not make that distinction?
There’s more than a few.
How many cases can you point to where it isn’t tolerated?
Now you are being obtuse. You are like an anti-gunner saying show me all the instances where a gun has prevented a crime? There are a crapload of preventions that cannot be proven or accounted for because the crime isn’t attempted due to the fact that the chance of a gun coming into play is the prevention itself.
So it is with policies. If a certain type of behavior isn’t tolerated at a department, it is less likely to show it’s ugly head to begin with. It is more likely to show where it is. So that is where you will see it more often. Common sense.
There are loads of recorded instances where an armed citizen prevented a crime.
There are loads of recorded instances where cops ignore(or even help) other cops commit crimes.
What we don’t have are many instances of cops interdicting other cops that commit crimes against citizens and when that does happen the good guy tends to get hammered by the majority.
The legal system allowing agencies to set policies that violate laws/rights without consequences clicks in to that last one and goes with my mention of how the legal system effectively encourages police to lie.
Calling what would typically be referred to as perjury a “Brady/Giglio offense” when the dishonesty comes from le (to avoid consequences) goes along with what would normally be referred to as kidnapping being called something like “wrongful arrest” when committed by police.
Your missing the point turbo. I’m done explaining common sense. Have fun bitching.
So common sense is letting cops be free to engage in the various forms of wrong doing that i have mentioned.
Let me guess, those special priveleges are a fair trade because of the clever public relations slogan.
