Ditto Ross,

But I tell you, go to www.authorsden.com/copout. You'll be amazed somewhat. This guy was a former bad cop, a New Orleans bad cop, who now exposes all of them. I read somewhere on the internet where he outed 5 or 6 of them. All of his stories and articles are about bad cops. I wiiling to forgive a bad cop if he starts turning in bad cops. I know of a lady that attended one of his book signings. He's legit in her opinion. She's a retired state police officer. I eventually bought his book called COP OUT. Man, he reveals all the dirty little secrets of bad cops. It is really bad though when you can't trust cops. Check out the site though. Very interesting

As a retired Police officer I am appalled at this guy. I used to work I.A. in the Atlanta area. Nothing made my day like taking down a dirty cop. This is a product of weak backgrouds checks. It has nothing to do with the pay. This guy was a thug way before be ever got to put on that uniform. ROPER needs to fry this piece o crap. I heard he resigned, I never would have let that happen. I would have had fired him for cause so that he could never be a Cop again. If this piece of crap wins his case because of an incomputant investigation he will be able to put back on a Police uniform. If this happens it just give people like MedisGuy more ammunition against Police. Some one commented about more ethics training? Police should already have good sound ethics before they ever put on that uniform. Hey send him to New Orleans I understand that they're short handed down there. At least there he's fit right in.

Didn't curvy predict that a lot of things would happen after AC took the Chief's job? Murders, corruption unveiled? Under Nunn the dirty boys had NO SUPERVISION! Now that AC is there, the corrupt ones have to clean house and destroy witnesses and evidence. How many homicides have there been so far???? HMMMM! This idiot just thought he could get by with one more hit, one more hit.

A.C. ROPER, IT IS TIME TO GET OUT THE BROOM, DUSTPAN, AND MAKE A BARRELL FIRE for the trash!!! Otherwise, you're putting the good cops' lives at risk every day!!!! Hint: I.A. or FBI watching them ALL!!! There is a story in the bible about wheats and tares. maybe A.C. and Larry need to read it!!! IF AC DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE DIRTY COPS, HIS NAME IS NO LONGER WORTHY OF SPEAKING. WE HAVE PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL, NOW DO SOMETHING!!!

Look at this guy. Would you actually have respect for that face in a police uniform? First off he looks like he's fat and about 15 years old. Second, he looks like a really ugly drag queen out of drag.

This sleaze needs to spend a long time behind bars and he should have to wear a prison suit that reads 'Former Police Officer' all over it. They'd tear him from limb to limb just on general principle if they knew he was once a cop. At least we can hope anyway.

I know not all cops are bad, but this sure isn't helping the image of the BPD. And while statements have been officially made that this is not representative of the Birmingham Police force, it sure does make one think, with that one last year who was accused of rape and had drugs in the pocket of his police uniform shirt....and now this one caught breaking into someone's car, what else is going on that we don't know about?

With the past history of this city as of late, I am more likely to believe that the majority of the police force, along with most of the council, commission and city leaders are as corrupt as they can possibly be. Seems Birmingham is running second only to New Orleans and Nagin's chocolate city of corruption, drugs, lies and stealing, when it comes to crime and corruption within the system.

It's going to take a lot more than an ethics course taught to police officers by Chief AC Roper, to change my opinion.

No Mediamoron, no one agrees with you. You are still an idiot just like the guy in the article.

Another star of Larry Lankyfords outstanding police force.

Looks like yall agree with ole Media now. I told yall and yall will not listen. Alabama hires the lowest people they can find to be cops. I know there is a few good ones out there , but for the most part this is what you got. I will not take the cops word for nothing. Some of yall do. Dont blame a suspect if I'm on the jury.

This is not real. How much crime did he commit in 5 years while in uniform?? BPD needs another good raise- 20%, and to raise standards for hiring by a mile.

Q. What do bham and the stock market have in common? A. Everybody's taking their money out of both.

My mistake.....I thought that they were BOTH cops.....either way, it doesn't make any difference. One OR two -- you've still got a COP breaking into a truck to steal. Again, apparently just anybody can become a cop and do as they please once they get the badge and the gun.

Come on Chief Roper -- hang this one out to dry. Prove that you're going to clean house and that you won't tolerate this on ANY level.

There ya go folks. Need I say more> and EAST PRECINCT officers at that.

Is there actually ANY kind of screening process to become a Bham cop or, as it apparently is, you just walk into a precinct house and ask for a uniform, badge, and a gun and they hand it to you.

Maybe I'll become a cop today. If you don't get caught it seems it might be a pretty lucrative business to be in. Right?

Were these two pieces of TRASH wearing their uniforms when they were BREAKING INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY TO STEAL!!!!!!!?????????

They're out on bond and I'd bet money they will be right back on the force within a month. After they play their race cards, and give the "REAL" reasons why they were breaking into this vehicle, etc.

Who is to protect us from the police?
