you misunderstood me because i was vague.
i think knowing the full "story" between these two, could help one to understand the full extent of the danger that officer B poses to all involved, including the public thereby making the decision of what to do about it, easier and safer
i agree, there is NO excuse for the officers poor behavior, specifically, threatening a person with death when indeed, he should know the system and the ramifications of making such a threat
but giving the officer the benefit of the doubt --- that he has otherwise been a good person, no past record of poor behavior, that the system would have weeded him out if he was a nutjob, that he may have had some valid reasons for his prior complaints against client --- his response makes me think..."hmmmm, i wonder what really happened between these two that would make this officer snap and possibly jeopardize his career or worse....." ?
if i was gonna use his statements to my client's possible advantage, i would want to attempt to understand the motivation behind the cops behavior before i took action and risked possible death upon myself and others
its not like client is facing a life sentence here
im not at all defending this pile of crap cop, im just being cautious in light of the fact that the guy could be "postal"
