I always wonder about the Cops. They allude to having some sixth sense. A feeling that someone is guilty. Someone acting suspicious. Someone acted in a way outside of the norm. That is what they testified to, and that is the testimony the Supreme Court allowed since it acknowledged the experience that Police Officers have. So they have a sort of Sixth Sense about who is a bad guy. Or something.
Yet, what is funny is that this sixth sense always fails them. In another thread I wondered why the Drug sniffing dogs never key on the cop with drugs in his pocket that he has ready to plant on a suspect. Are you suggesting that the dog is never near those cops? Or that the cops keep it in their cars, which the dog can supposedly smell, in other cars, but not cop cars?
In this thread, I wonder. What about this sixth sense, the feeling that someone is a bad guy, why does it never seem to work for another cop? How does this sixth sense never seem to trigger when they are standing next to the fellow cop with drugs? Or in the case of the Golden State Killer, how did they not notice that one of their own was the killer? I mean, none of these experienced cops who I am sure testified that the suspect acted suspiciously got any inkling that Joseph DeAngelo was a bad guy, much less a mass murderer and serial rapist?
Perhaps that is a question for Defense Attorneys when they are cross examining the cops in the future. “You said that the defendant acted suspicious, and with your experience, you just knew he was not acting right. You said he was acting guilty is that correct?” When the cop professionally answers yes. Ask. “And did this suspicion ever activate or did you ever get an inkling that your partner in seventeen arrests was planting drugs on suspects? Including one where you were present but said you didn’t see anything? No suspicious activity in any way?”
Well Joseph DeAngelo has pled guilty and at 74 he won’t be in Prison long before he checks out. But it is an interesting question. How did nobody ever get a feeling from their Spider Sense on that guy?
