    Thanks for proving that an oath to serve the public and wearing a badge and gun doesn't make a difference at all. People are people. And there's a lot of criminals out there. From all walks of life.
    This particular guy, I'd have to say is a stone cold idiot.
    In a few years he'd be making over $100,000 with the best retirement plan, and chose to throw it all away for a defected pair of pants and a criminal record.
    Nice job.
