But I think that might have been my reaction if not at least getting between him and the kid and letting him know further actions will not be accepted and that he's a jerk. Sounds like the guy is a bully. You know what, the first thing I said would not be the correct thing. Why? Cause the mother out of fear would back the husband and say you were interfering in family discussion and YOU somehow dislocated the kids jaw. That stuff happens all the time. The victims protect the abuser.
Since it was told to you, it should be the responsibility of the person who told you to report it. Your information is 3rd party and doesnt mean it actually went down the way it was perceived by the second party (how am I doing Fred)? So, you are basically judging this guy by a rumor, because that what it is I think.
Am I right or did I read the OP incorrectly?
The person who told me, was his mom! She said it as an offhand remark to one of her other neighbors, I was around at the time and asked if I heard her right -and she repeated it (under her breath). I'm not sure she intended for me to know, but I was sitting right next to her when she said it.
From what little I know of them, she seemed like the crazy one (teacher with a Highschool mindset). My whole street is kind of messed up I'd say, seems like everyone still thinks they're in Highschool, kind of besides the point.
Yeah, it feels off when the mom is backing the accuser (her husband). Of all the guys on the street, I wouldn't have picked him out to be the bully, there are a lot more candidates for that title based on behavior I've witnessed. I don't feel 100% comfortable living on a street where 10 cops decided to live.
I remember running circles around the house while my Dad would chase me with a shoe. Every time I passed my mom (joke or not, standing in the kitchen), she'd just stare and watch. I'd be yelling for her to help me, but then again she told me she was going to tell dad about my shenanigans when he got home from work.
One day my dad threw the shoe, almost hit our puppy and the shoe crashed into the open dishwasher. I remember standing up for the first time and he never threw a shoe again, lol. LikeI wouldn' tstand up for myself, as if I deserved the punishment (probably in some form I did), but now he's endangering the innocent (my dog) lol.
Him being a cop is moot but it seems in my personal experience, they are abusive of their power, and besides this thread - their children are also out of control. I try hard not to use my personal experience dictate something larger, but I would have expected very disciplined respectful people and I witness the total opposite. Not people I'd want wielding a gun for certain. A cop kid came over to me and was explaining how they made a handmade grenade and threw it into a hole where a mole was. He described the noises the mole was making while it was dying.
Another cop neighbor (police chief), held his son down with a gun on the kitchen counter and then threatened suicide. The whole neighborhood was barracaded with cop cars, you couldn't enter/exit.
I found the report for that one, although it's littered with some misinformation. Those are things they say about criminals, "they're a great guy, out of character"
