The idiots that are taking up for him don't realize that his job is to enforce the law, not break it.

Although there are a few stinkers who deserve to be weeded out and whose bad behavior gets press coverage, there are many more out there who care about the law and the people they protect.  You do not risk your life every day when you go to work.  Your wife, if you have one, does not worry every time the phone rings that someone is calling to tell her that her husband has been shot or killed.  You did not have to pull a drowned 2 year old out of drainage ditch because no one was watching him.  You do not have to confront a 10 year old with a gun under his shirt, ponying drugs to the other side of the neighborhood.  You do not have to attend the funeral of a fellow cop who was ambushed (while answering a fake distress call) by gang bangers whose inititation into the gang is to kill a cop.  You do not have to wait for an ambulance with a badly wounded man who was knifed for his shoes.  You do not have to go on a domestic battery call only to be attacked by the wife whose arm was broken and eyes blackened by her drunken, abusive spouse.  You do not have to make a high speed emergency run to the hospital with a sexually abused baby that dies in your arms before you reach the hospital.  You do not have to go to court to testify against a dealer who sells meth to school children only to have the witnesses disappear or refuse to testify and you watch the dealer go free to kill more children with drugs.  For every cop who cannot deal with this kind of pain and stress and crosses the line, there are a thousand more out there on the street, day after day, protecting the rest of us while being verbally condemned by short sighted idiots.  The next time you need help, call a drug dealer or gang banger and see how fast they come to your aid.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 7:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[you need to read comments 75 and 79  gives lot of interesting info on this story.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[busymomma1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 9:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[Howlar, I am a police officer and I dont think you realize that police officers are human we all make mistakes just when we make them it makes for bigger press. If you had done the same thing i promise you it wouldn't make the news. Yes this guy should of known better but you cant tell me you haven't lost control.<br><br>As a police officer I can tell you some of the things I see from day to day would give you nightmares trust me, I get them sometimes. My wife is my support she is what keeps me together day in and day out. If I found unappropiate messages between my wife and someone else I might loose it to. <br><br>Many guys I know that arn't cops but construction workers, bankers, computer techs, etc. would probably do exactly what this cop did. <br><br>Am I for what he did? No, he should of shown self restraignt and talked with his wife first, but he didn't, he broke the law and he is paying for it just like any one else.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ejhunter85]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 13th 2009 12:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[EJHunter,<br>Nobody's debating whether or not your job is difficult.  Everyone's job is.  What is of concern, however, is that police and district attorneys seem to think that every member of the criminal justice system is somehow above the law.  What this often translates to is the police driving around, sirens blaring, indiscriminately beating the crap out of & killing people.  Later on, in court, when it comes time for prosecution, because as you say - "cops are people too"... oh, what's this?  There's "not enough evidence" to convict a police officer for any wrongdoing in really any case but the most insane, and the ones that are the most in the media spotlight.  Stuff like this happens all the time, and I don't even need to explain it because you know exactly what I'm talking about.  It is a common perspective among DA's that "we don't prosecute police officers, we prosecute criminals".  That's the problem people have with police officers, Mr. Hunter.  Well, that and the fact that police are the biggest a-holes on the planet.<br><br>Cheers :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Noah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 17th 2009 3:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bet you have a long rap sheet!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gmann8942]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 7th 2009 9:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am going through the same thing. My wife of 11 years and 6 children met someone on Facebook/Yahoo Instant Messenger and now wants a divorce and wants to be with this guy she met. Who knows if it is even a guy or a prisoner at a Mental Hospital. Oh and she is pregnant with my 7th child so I think its mine...and she won't tell me why or how come she feels the need to ruin a family and run away with someone she doesnt even know.<br><br>I can relate to the Cop in every way. I'd do the same as the Cop ! The wife is to blame for this...why should her husband be forced to choose? Our society is messed up. Women are cheating on their spouses in record numbers. Soldiers go to war and come back to a woman that has broken her vows of marriage while our soldiers have been fighting for freedoms. Women need to wake up ! Life is not always about screwing ! Have a heart !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Father of 7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 1:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[since more men cheat then women, does that mean we should hold every member of your gender responsible for every ill that a male does? especially since in both your case and this cop's it was the woman who did wrong, not the guy. he didn't make you any promises. though from the woman bashing in your post, i don't blame your wife for running as fast as she can! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kriste]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dude, I sympathize but what is he giving her that you aren't? If it's only physical, which is what it sounds like from your next-to-last sentence, then you have no excuse. There are things you can get to, ah, "improve" your performance. To put it bluntly, if you aren't supplying the salami, don't be surprised when she starts shopping at another deli. On the other hand, if you're just an a-hole, there's no fix for that. Sorry. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hugh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 2:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmm, everyday this cop deals with people who state that they "lost it" because their spouse cheated or was "talking" to someone on the computer.

It doesn't state that anywhere.  It also doesn't say she was leaving him for the friend. Maybe this guy just had too much stress built up and instead of communicating with his wife acted out. He shouldn't have been going through her email anyway. That just shows the state of mind he was in.  Probably stressed, not at home much and started getting jealous or something.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimberly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2009 3:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/12/cop-attacks-man-for-facebooking-his-wife/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is not only women that are cheating on their husbands.
