I tend to always take the side of the cops until hard evidence is provided of serious wrong-doing. They have a tough job and do it darned well 99.Idon'thavetimetotypeallthe9sitwouldtake% of the time.
However, I may be finding a trend towards nastiness, corruption and general whininess in WV.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As if getting a DUI wasn’t enough, a man arrested for driving under the influence got in a lot more trouble at the police station.
Police stopped Jose Cruz on Route 60 in South Charleston Monday night for driving with his headlights off.
Then, he failed sobriety tests and was arrested.
When police were trying to get fingerprints, police say Cruz moved closer to the officer and passed gas on him. The investigating officer remarked in the criminal complaint that the odor was very strong.
Cruz is now charged with battery on a police officer, as well as DUI and obstruction
