Lead Detective in Barnes case charged

[shrewsbury]

again, when you call the police, a detective does not come, a patrolman does, there is protocol to follow.
and yes, if your word was good (meaning you are a law abiding citizen) your word in enough.

In the heat of the moment the guy did what he thought he had to. He lied about it afterwards. So what? It speaks more to his expectations that his lie may be believed than it does to the fact that he lied.

I firmly believe that you should be held accountable for all your actions. if you need to steal food so your family does not starve and you are caught, admit it. if you break into a home to find your missing child, admit it.

the only time you would lie is when you think your actions are wrong and need to cover them up, and if you thought this, you should have not done it to begin with.

breaking the law to save a loved one, is ok in my book, but why try to cover it up?

And running up in someone's house ARMED is smarter? Let's think about this. I run in armed and the homeowner shoots at me. I die? or, he misses and I fire back killing him? Stop me when I reach the "smart" part.

Running up anyone's house is not smart at all but if you are going to do it with the understanding that there is a chance that someone will attempt to blast you so you might as well be armed so you can defend yourself. *



*I am in know way advocating running up anyone's house, nor am I advocating anyone commint an armed felony or murder.

I'm all for holding police to a higher standard, but all Habs is asking you to do is understand what he did. His lying after the fact says absolutely Nothing of his intents or motives during. That's all.

i understand, what i am saying if you did it to potentially save your child's life, why lie about it?

Why lie? Maybe he knows that the reason he did what he did would not matter to his superiors and he thought he could get away with the lie.

habs, bingo!!!! if this was the facts, then how can we be sure if the first part of the story is even true?

maybe he wasn't worried about her and didn't like her boyfriend and went there to scare him using police force?
maybe she was hiding from him, because he is crazy?

once he lied, in my opinion, he has opened up the fact he could have lied about any part of it.

Not sure what you are getting at? Yeah, he could have lied about everything. What does it matter? He has 4 charges pending against him, the least of which is misleading investigators. His reasons for committing the other three offences are irrelevant to everyone but himself and I would think if that part of his story were untrue we would have heard about that too from the complainant.

Habs, maybe we will?
