Veteran IMPD officer arrested for robbery, official misconduct

Isolated incident.

I do believe that that would be quite isolated. He needs to go to jail, no questions asked but let's not be getting out the big brush already.

No, I haven't
"I commend the IMPD Professional Standards Unit for initiating and
completing a thorough investigation into Officer Butler's actions," said
Prosecutor Terry Curry (D). "Their investigation uncovered a repetitive
pattern of behavior by Officer Butler, a pattern of behavior which
plainly violated the trust the public placed in him. We look forward to
prosecuting this case vigorously to its conclusion."

He needs to be in prison.

I have, when I was in Mexico in 2002. I promptly left the country to avoid running into those a-hole dirty cops again.

It was a fun weekend overall though.

Happened to my brother and a friend in Mexico, but they got put in jail for the night for their trouble.

And the "isolated incident" shit really, truly applies here. Unless OP can provide evidence this is anything more than that, of course....

Never happened to me or anyone I know.

Worst experience I had was being detained for 30 minutes because I didn't want to answer any questions.

Haven't been robbed...

I wonder if it's more than just a coincidence that the Indianapolis cop in this article was doing it to Mexicans.

no....but I've been "robbed" in VA on 95 going through Emporia. State Trooper pulled me over doing 56 in 55. Gave me a ticket for 74. Had 2 Fayetteville local PD in the car as well. We all asked if perhaps he didn't make a mistake. His answer was that we should contest the ticket if we disagreed.

Drove up to pay the ticket and judge threw it out as well as the tickets for other 100 or so Active duty service members in the courtroom. Just a day gone from my life and 2 tanks of gas. Kind makes you wonder though.....

I'd say that's an astute observation. He probably figured that, being used to that sort of thing, they'd figure it was normal.
It's also possible he targetted illegals, or those he thought to be illegal, since it's highly unlikely they'd report such abuse.

Many years ago my parents were driving through GA and were pulled over. The cop told them they had to pay the fine in cash, he put it in an envelope in front of them, then made them follow him to a mail box. He then got out of the car and put an envelope in the mail box. My father was sorry he didn't ask to see the envelope again before he put it in the box (it's probably good that he didn't). It was surely empty.

an old, retired sheriff's deputy near Houston told me a story like that that took place in the early 80's.
same deal; a local smalltown cop would pull you over and just ask for some money, then let you go.
after a number of complaints from citizens, he was asked about it and just flat-out admitted he'd been doing it.

i'd say the cop in the OP's thread was a pretty rare thing.

Restricted duty while prosecution drags out. Pension once he hits 25 years, and then community service.

I knew it was no speakies before I ever read the article. Its always illegals or drug dealers.

"The prosecutor's office says IMPD was alerted by two Hispanic men discovered money had been stolen from their wallets after a traffic stop on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Both victims reported what happened to IMPD."

This.

Border Patrol agents get accused of it constantly. You wont find an illegal, freshly deported to TJ, that doesnt claim he had $5,000 in his wallet and it was stolen by the border patrol agent.

And you know they are illegal because? I'd call you a @#$%^,but I think it is a coc violation.

Because a hispanic man with no drivers license usually means illegal immigrant. Read the article. Hispanic men detained for license violations.

Yes, once, in Detroit, sometime around 2000-2001, when I was younger. Racially profiled and pulled over for no reason (being white). Took all my cash and said I was in Detroit to buy drugs.

Let me go, but kept the cash. About $40.00.

You are supposed to seal the envelope with the cash in front of the cop. As you put it in the mailbox in front of him, spit your gum onto it and stick the envelope to the inside of the mailbox and come back and retrieve your cash later.

No but I used to know a girl who was raided for drugs about ten years ago, there was a pound of weed and various other drugs around. Most of the other drugs made it in to the police reports but the pound of weed never did. After she got bailed out I took her to her bank to draw out some money and on the way in the detective who arrested her was walking out and told us he froze her accounts, then just a few years ago I was serving on a grand jury when this defendant takes the stand and gives us this sob story of how the drugs were planted on him. Obviously I didn't believe him but the next person to take the stand was the dirty cop who stole the pound of weed years earlier. I couldn't freaking believe it, I felt like finding the defendant's lawyer and telling him that the cop was crooked as shit but it would have violated my oath not to disclose what I heard in the grand jury or talk about the cases. It still pisses me off that that dirty cop is still on the streets but even if I told the guys lawyer the best thing that would happen is the scumbag would get off and he was pimping out an 18 years old girl that he told us he turned out at 17.

The cop and others like him count on the person they robbed not wanting to explain the amounts of money in their wallet. Easy prey. Not that $2000 bucks is really an obscene amount, there's been quite a few times I've had that much and more on me, I don't make a habit of it though.

For sure, I have too. I don't like it though, and usually spend or deposit it ASAP!
