Police Attempt To Cremate Man Who Died While In Custody

[steveh_131]

if Benny got an infraction for that, then we have some seriously power hungry mods...didn't use to be like this....

Yeah... I got a permanent ban a few months ago for a pretty tame insult. The mod reversed it after an email discussion, but made it clear that I'd be gone permanently if I didn't toe the line.

I can understand infractions and even temporary bans to let people cool off if things get heated. But it does suck when you make friends and form relationships with folks but know that you could be permanently booted at any time for something that you didn't think was all that bad at the time.

What she may or may not have implied didn't warrant the response she got .

I like both of'em but in this case I'd have given him a vacation if I were a mod .

Benny or 1187?

1187

Benny , no .

 

[Rookie]

Why?
1187 makes an obvious attack and there's an in thread warning.
Benny makes an obvious joke and he gets an infraction.

Nope...just like there isnt one for "being a female dog" nor "a vulgar term for the female genitalia".

In thread warning

Infraction. And you would ban him?

To be all clinton about it , " at this point , what does it matter " ? These guys effed up big time .

Instead of being honorable folks like they're SUPPOSED TO BE , they chose to try and cover up their misdeeds .

Just would like to know the entire story, not just one side or only part

How much truth do you think is gonna be in the entire story seeing how they (LEO) are the ones telling it ?

Especially when you consider their 2009 incident and the fact that there's no twitter pics.

What could possibly make what they did ok? Fact is they attempted to destroy this mans body. That is a fact. I know police like to stick together and there are two sides to every story. If we were discussing the man being killed while resisting the whole story would matter. If we were discussing the man being severely beaten in custody the whole story would matter. We are discussing the man dying in police custody and instead of contacting next of kin and sending the body for any autopsy like they are supposed to do they tried to send him off to be destroyed. Again, What "entire story" could possibly justify this?

Do you think the police killed him and he came back as a Zombie and they were simply trying to prevent an outbreak?
Maybe the guy had a tat of his last wishes on his back and it was for the police to roast marshmallow's and hot dogs over him.

Yeah, I thought an in-thread warning to 1187 was warranted after he apparently misunderstood a remark and went all 7th grader on 88GT.

At most, I could have seen another in-thread warning to Benny for his ill-timed joke.

From us, yeah, but the mod was trying to make the point (to 1187) that he was on thin ice for making a personal attack and I can understand if the mod didn't see Benny's comment as being as funny as we did. But, I would have said something in-thread if i was the mod, no need for an infraction.

 

[Rookie]

There was a thread that a mod had put a warning in. Directly after that warning, I made a crack that was definitely pushing the envelope. Soon after, I got a pm that basically said, "lol, but seriously?" I apologized, and I edited my post. Yes, he could have nailed me with an infraction, and I would have deserved it, but he chose to take a more respectful approach. Because of that, when he speaks up, I'm more inclined to respect his wishes.

what is so wrong with simply wanting to hear both sides of a story?

I would love to hear their side as to why they tried to cremate a body that goes against all of their rules. But is there any serious reason you can think of that would be justifiable for trying to cremate someones body and lie about it?

Am I incorrect that they have already given 3 different and inherently contradictory sides to the story of how he came into custody?

One to the emt's, one to the hospital, and one in their reports.... Then there was the video.

Yeah I got an infraction from OBV8 for that blatantly obvious, light-hearted joke.

It was nice meeting most of you, but this will be my last post in this ****hole.

I can't believe that you would get an infraction for that, yet there is no consequence to another person's disrespectful name calling. Ridiculous.

 

[Destro]

I absolutely never said anything like that, and im not trying to imply that I think the accused actions are acceptable. They are disturbing claims. I don't see why it's such a big deal to want to hear both sides of a story.

It isn't a big deal, but when one side's story keeps changing, I eventually lose interest in hearing it. I hear enough lies in person that I have little interest in looking for more in Florida.

I would also. I guess I look at it like, the treads I've had the most fun with, and learned the most from were pretty spirited discussions. And I hate to see that squelched just because either one guy gets his feelings hurt and starts name-calling, or because one guy gets offended and reports somebody. And I hope that the real guy who started it in this thread didn't get off unscathed.

Both people were calling names! One was just a little smarter about it! Now, can we return to regularly scheduled programming? Conflicting police reports, attempt to violate FL law by torching evidence, autopsy report indicating something other than the "official report" whichever that one is! It doesn't look good for the home team, but again only one side has really been heard.
