He was a criminal who had no business in law enforcement. He was not even a citizen. We should have additional laws against illegals who find employment in government positions, especially law enforcement. The guy needs to go to jail for a long time. Think of all the cops who do wind up in jail, does this rat deserve any less?

You're still assuming the man is a total, unmitigated, gaping asshole.

There is no information except for:

His employer says he did an exemplary job as an officer, but lied to get hired.

He did commit identity fraud to get a job.

He used a false identity attempting to get a passport.

He has a family in Anchorage.

He's around 50 years old.

He is a Mexican citizen apparently by birth.

There is nothing else. No background history, nothing to indicate his age at entry.

So, now you have another mission in addition to going to Texas to interrogate the Valdez family and to Florida to do the same with the white woman with Cuban ancestry and the adopted kid from Mexico - You now need to go to Anchorage and harass every watch commander who comes on duty about Rafael Mora Lopez about his employment record, the arrests he made, and the tickets he wrote.

And you can have fun stalking his family while you're at it.

OK, while I'm not one too quick to condemn usually, I will say that there is an underlying, presumed attitude in America, of the police being

total, unmitigated, gaping asshole(s)

I don't necessarily subscribe to it, but I think it's at least an arguable point that you'd find prevalent

Ok, you got me.

I have quite often expressed my belief that I tend to prejudge police officers as lying, sadistic, ego bloated jerks.

I didn't used to think so.

Once upon a time I believed that Rodney King brought all that beating on himself. However, during a subsequent bad period in my life, having had an unprovoked experience out of the blue by an officer who hadn't seen me for more than a second before he dispensed a "lesson", and now knowing the difference between understanding reality derived of presence versus the Alice in Wonderland creative fiction which comprises so many police reports and the manner in which they go about their work with "subjects", I now believe that most are

total, unmitigated, gaping asshole(s)

looking for someone to shit on.

But that was not the point of my tirade towards twoller. I've told him more than once if he and his buddies ever showed up on my porch with the blanket "hunt them down and throw them out" Spanish Inquisition approach to to the problem of illegal immigration, they would receive a certain lesson as to why they should be a little more circumspect.

Yes, we're all far from perfect in our pursuits here, but at least we're here, and we agree on enough to be here attempting something together.
