Sucks for the Chargers. Foley needs to learn when he's had enough to drink.

Looks like it already has gotten ugly.

This guy must have been on drugs to keep going after the cop like that.

Ummm...

I went to school in Coronado and I know a dispatcher for the Coronado Police department; I honestly think this is race related.

Why was an off duty police officer pulling someone over in his own personal car without backup? Why would he fallow him for a significant amount of time without calling it in?

I hope im dead wrong. There are alot of good cops in the CPD that dont need this associated with them.

Would you pullover for someone at 3am who isnt in uniform or in a car with a siren?

Really??, thought the people had no problem about handing over liberties and freedom. Well dont worry Im sure this will disappear from your consciousness and be diverted soon enough. Just keep looking away from what is going on under everyones noses.

Coronado naval base ,Calif. hmmmh, nope dismiss that too. Wake up.

Let's not turn this thread, or any thread, into some political conspiracy theory debate. You want to do that, you can do it at Unruly Politics

I have to be honest if you aren't in a marked car and you are a cop don't get mad when people don't want to pull over. You better call back up immediately. Alot of freaks go around pulling people over with fake badges in umarked vehicle and rob them and rape women and shit.

Cops need to realize times have changed and you aren't ricardo tubbs so call back up and don't do this. It pretty much makes the police dept look like shit. It wasn't like he was robbing a store he was at most driving drunk. Now you have a PR cluster fuck trying to explain why you shot a great linebacker who did not have a gun.

all i know is, if a policeman pulls me over, off duty or not, shows me his badge and gun, its yes sir and no sir the rest of the way. and saying at the most he was driving drunk, implying thats no big deal. what if that cop let him go and he wrecked into a family, killing them all? he also has a history with the police. law abiding people normally dont have this kind of stuff happen to them

[EXoffender]

Dirty cop. Illegal business.

I agree. It is a very touchy situation. I do not know if I would pull over as well, but I never drive when I am intoxicated. So that must make that decision to pull over or not a little harder because you are breaking the law.

I've seen those forensic shows when the family gets killed because they pulled over for some fake cop.

I'm not saying drunk driving isn't serious but he should have immediately called back up and just followed him. We are relying on here say from an officer in plane clothes who shot an unarmed man. It appears he never called for back up in this whole situation. Oh yeah and to say law abiding people don't have this stuff happen to them is bunk.

You're telling me if some guy driving at 2:30 AM waives a badge at you and says pull over I'm a cop you are going to pull over and not be suspect this guy is some sort of freak. In some states you can pull over request a uniformed police officer to report to the scene if you are pulled over for a traffic violation. If he called back up which would have taken minutes the situation would have been totally different.
