Anygun, I'm about 50% there with you.....OTH the war on drugs is an abject failure and helped to grow the cartels into what they are today, so.......let's just say that I have mixed feelings. There still lies the difference between a non-LEO who succumbed to an addiction, and an LEO who is a thief and then asks for "professional courtesy".anygunanywhere wrote:Actually, the actor's drug purchase is not victimless. Purchasing drugs supports the cartels. The cartels have murdered thousands.

Re: Gov. Christie Aide Caught Shoplifting from Cabelas
The OD'd actor committed a victimless crime. The thief cop did not.Dori wrote:Riddle me this. What's the difference between "casting stones" at a cop who was caught shoplifting and "casting stones" at an actor who overdosed on illegal drugs?
The OD'd actor was a fine actor, but just another hollywood guy who broke the law. The cop was supposed to enforce the laws, not break them.
OD'd actor's death is a crying shame. The cop's arrest is good.
I could go on. There are some differences. That said, I like WildBill's answer the best.

If that is the case, then common thieves not employed by the gooberner ought to expect the same courtesy........If they are all thieves....MechAg94 wrote:I have heard that "professional courtesy" thing is expected and often given in many states especially up in the Northeast at least in some states.The Annoyed Man wrote:Perhaps I should have rephrased my question thusly: "Do people check their morals at the door when they go to work for Christie?"

He's an LEO, who was/is a Christie bodyguard.
The professional courtesy question apparently was in the form of his asking the arresting officer for leniency.

Gov. Christie Aide Caught Shoplifting from Cabelas

Do people check their morals at the door when they enter his administration?According to the complaint, “During the course of his shopping, (Carvounis) would place items in his shopping basket. While walking around and continuing to shop, he would take various merchandise out of the package and conceal in his pockets…He would discard the empty packages on shelves throughout the store.”
Security video also caught Carvounis tearing the price tag from a Cabela’s hat, which he wore while trying to leave the store.
When caught, police say, Carvounis invoked his position, asking again and again for a little professional courtesy — to let him off so he wouldn’t lose his job.
