F.O.P pays Bisard's bill....... wow

[indyk]

What me worry

Police union votes to pay for Bisard's defense | IndyStar.com | The Indianapolis Star

FOP votes to pay Bisard's legal fees

 

[Cat-Herder]

cuz..you know, there's no EVIDENCE he was intoxicated....cuz they kinda accidentally on purpose BOTCHED that one! I can only hope that happens to me if I ever happen to kill someone at a stop light in my tax-payer funded vehicle while sending emails drunk...

Is Bisard not entitled to this via union membership?

Isn't this just enforcing an existing contract?

It is, but that doesn't make the **** sandwich taste any better. The whole situation still sucks.

FOP/Unions money, they can use it as they see fit.

 

[John Galt]

At what point are people held accountable for their actions?

At what point are people held accountable for their actions?

At trial. He is entitled to the same protections as anyone else. The FOP is funded by LEO members dues. As such, we decide what we spend it on. Without the DUI charge, he meets the requirements for legal aid and is a member in good standing. So, majority voted "yes".

 

[PatriotPride]

What else do you expect?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Without the DUI charge

Really? Now we know why Brizzi dumped the OWI so quickly and without a fight! Follow the money.

So, if Mr. Curry re-files the OWI/Death in January, will the funds be withdrawn?

Brizzi has his own agenda. I dono, quite possible, I do not know if there are FOP bi-laws that address such an issue. I wouldn't hold your breath about the re-file.

No matter how this investigation was botched, I hope the people who are his "peers" on his jury see through all this bull****.. everyone knows he's guilty and I hope the mother****er burns.

I hope he has a fair trial, with a jury of unbiased individuals. I hope the Prosecutor does his job to the best of his ability. I hope the defense attorney does his job to the best of his ability. And I hope the truth is heard by the jury. Finally I hope the jury after hearing all the facts presented in the case rule in accordance with their hearts.

Weren't we told by the resident LEO's in all of the other Bisard threads that the FOP wasn't going to pay for this?

Guilty until proven guilty.

Beats me. This was the first and only time the FOP took up the matter.

I hope they rule in accordance with the facts, not their hearts.

 

[sporter]

I hope the POS gets thrown in prison general population.

 

[Fargo]

Beats me. This was the first and only time the FOP took up the matter.

Actually, IIRC Owensby announced within a couple days of the incident that the FOP was not representing him in light of the blood draw result.

Apparently, now that the OWI has been canned, that was rethought and it was put to a vote.

Best,

Joe

If the truth is really heard.. he's going to be seeing a prison cell, so I agree with you.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

Guilty until proven guilty.

You as well as I know it's guilty until proven innocent.. why should he be any different? Just because he's a cop?

In all reality.. it should be innocent until proven guilty, but we all know that's bull****.. it's really guilty until proven innocent!

Maybe if his fellow officers, family or friends did something about his drinking problems before all of this.. this horrific accident would have never happened.. because it's no secret he had a drinking problem before any of this even happened.

Either way.. he's guilty until guilty like you stated.. because everyone knows he's guilty.. the investigation was botched along with the botched cover up!

Any word on whether the dead motorcyclist's family is getting any sort of financial help? Saying that it's tough losing, in all likelihood, the primary bread winner in the family is an understatement.
