i know many officers with second jobs delivering pizzas and what have you. in fact my mothers long-time bf was one until he retired and became an RN. after taxes and what have you he was only making about $12.00 an hour. it happens in smaller towns in the us.I realise I've got my priorities wrong, here; but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of a police officer with a second job? Does it strike anybody else as strange that they would have the energy, - or need the money?

it can, and it has. but you also have to consider that most active military in this country get paid less than $30,000 a year.Way to open the door wide to corruption.......

BATON ROUGE — One of two deputy city marshals charged with murder over a videotaped shooting that killed a 6-year-old boy wants Louisiana prosecutors to disclose whether any of their witnesses were hypnotized to elicit trial testimony.
A court filing dated last Friday doesn't explain why Norris Greenhouse Jr.'s lawyer, George Higgins III, is asking if any prosecution witnesses underwent hypnosis or any "truth-determining examinations," such as polygraph tests or sodium pentothal.
Higgins didn't immediately return calls and emails seeking comment Tuesday. In his court filing, he said hypnosis has become an increasingly common investigative tool for state law-enforcement agencies despite the technique's controversial nature.
Greenhouse and Derrick Stafford have pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder in the shooting that killed Jeremy Mardis and critically wounded his father, Christopher Few, in Marksville last November. Few's recollection of how the shooting unfolded would be crucial trial testimony, but it's unclear if Higgins' court filing relates to him.
If prosecutors call a witness who was hypnotized, Higgins argued he would have to present expert testimony to dispute the witness' credibility.
"Under hypnosis, an interpretive difficulty arises because of the hypnotized person's extreme suggestibility which enables him to detect meanings in the expert's questions which are unintended and unrecognized by the expert himself," Higgins wrote. "Further, the nature of hypnosis is presently unknown, despite modern research."
State District Court Judge William Bennett didn't immediately rule on Higgins' request for an order requiring Attorney General Jeff Landry's office to disclose whether any of its witnesses were hypnotized. A spokeswoman for Landry's office said in an email Tuesday that she couldn't immediately comment.
During a hearing in June, one of Stafford's attorneys, Jonathan Goins, said Few's credibility and state of mind at the time of the shooting will be critical elements of his client's defense.
Goins said Few had amphetamines and benzodiazepines in his system when the deputies opened fire on the man's car. Goins also disclosed that Few had battled a drug addiction and severe depression and had survived a suicide attempt only days before the shooting.
State Police said the deputies opened fire on Few's car after a pursuit that a third deputy and a Marksville police sergeant also joined. A police report says video from Sgt. Kenneth Parnell III's body camera shows Few's empty hands were raised and visible inside the vehicle when gunfire erupted. The boy was strapped into the front seat.
State Police Col. Mike Edmonson cited the video when he announced the arrest of the two officers, calling it the most disturbing thing he's seen. Prosecutors have provided defense attorneys with copies of the video, but the footage hasn't been publicly released.
Stafford's trial is set for Nov. 28.
Stafford, a Marksville police lieutenant, and Greenhouse, a former Marksville police officer, were moonlighting as deputy marshals on the night of the shooting. Stafford also worked part time as a deputy city marshal in nearby Alexandria, but he was fired from that job after his arrest.
thank God the stations are actually reporting the truth for onceToday's funeral was just on our local news (Fox4). Just like @Krystal's link above, they're also reporting Jeremy's dad had his hands in the air to surrender and posed no threat. CBS and BBC are also reporting the same.
I dont think it was his video. It said 4 officers were there. One of those had video showing the 2 firing and that the victim showed no signs of aggression towards the officers. I may have misinterpreted it...but that's how I saw it.Another thought, the LEO that looks so devastated may be the weak link that reveals what went wrong. I'd be leaning hard on him. The other doesn't look like he gives a flying fuck.
That is very common.I realise I've got my priorities wrong, here; but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of a police officer with a second job? Does it strike anybody else as strange that they would have the energy, - or need the money?
Officials in Marksville originally said the officers were attempting to serve a warrant to Few, though no warrants have been located
Family member of mine is an ex cop. He told me the exact same thing.My stepdad was a LEO for 35 years, and he would often do security at the local youth center, or diners as a 2nd job either on weekends or off shift hours. His department allows him to take his uniform with him afterwork, he just can't use the department vehicle doing the 2nd job.
There's longer videos of this one YouTube. One showing one of the officers that shot only asking if the driver was shot. Seemed to have no care about the child. Listening to the other officers trying to talking about the kid is heart breaking.
No crap here sir. One hundred percent agree.Love the bit where another officer showing up on the scene asks, "do they have any weapons on em" and the murderer responds, "i have no idea". This was after he slaughtered them of course. That says it all right there. If you have no idea whether anyone in the car is armed, why the fuck did you paint the interior with em?
The entire dept looks like a bunch of unprofessional shitheads. You can see the injured suspect, bleeding and crawling/collapsin out of his vehicle while like 6 cops stand around doing jackshit except stupidly ask one another, "i got no gloves, who got gloves?".
Stupid hick stormtroopers. Way to be prepared.
The defense says because the clip does not have audio for the first 27 seconds that includes the moments officers start shooting, it is not clear if the man’s hands were up.
Can you even imagine the destruction that would've taken place by theI refuse to watch the video. But will say this. Had the racial tables been reversed, That entire town and county would have had 1000's of people bussed in and there would be riots and looting and other deaths. But since it is a little white boy....
