<p>Things that make you go argh.</p>
<p>What is it with off-duty cops? Shouldn't they be civilians when off-duty? But here is one that pulled his gun on a bike messenger, had him arrested and walked away free. </p>

<p>In late April James Liu told me he the civil rights law firm he had retained had not yet filed a lawsuit against the officer, and it looked like the case was not moving forward.</p>

<p>Greetings Andrew,</p>
<p>James was offered a less than $200 settlement to plead guilty and dismiss the case. He refused same, represented himself and was found guilty and fined less than $300. I attended this hearing with a handful of other friends/reporters. Since then, I no longer touch cars but do know their days on this earth are numbered. </p>
<p>Ride on!</p>

<p>Mike is right. Clearly, the CPD harbors a number of bad apples and it's no secret any more that they foster their own don't snitch culture, making the job much harder for the good officers and the department itself. If this behavior is not brought to the attention of the public, it will only get worse. "To serve and protect" or to intimidate and protect ourselves?</p>
