This guy was a bully as a teen, pretended to be in a gang and sold/smoked marijuana.

His "dad" isn't even his biological father, so that negates the whole "third generation" thing.

A relative of mine lives in his housing addition -- there are rumors that his house fire in 2010 was set by him or someone associated with him intentionally for insurance money.

Probably a sociopath, no idea how he passed psychological evaluations to join IMPD.

My experience with the police (which is very limited) is the older the cop is the better off you are when dealing with them. The older officers with a lot of experience have the "coolest" demeanor in most cases. The "new era" cops with their shaved heads and dark shades, frankly, scare the sh-t out of me. I have no respect for them since they "demand it" instead of earning it.

Officer Perry was a very honorable officer of 22 years. No disciplinary actions ever against him. Its just idiots like Beaton that ruin it for the rest. We are headed as a society as far as we let the media wrongly lead us. They will say everything is a cover up and add intensity to small subjects. Beaton has given his coworkers the black eye too and needs to go. The police don't want him anymore because of it and neither do I as a tax paying citizen. These officers deal with a lot. I still support the majority as long as they righteous.

The statement: " Beaton is a third generation police officer with the department" was in the original post.

Can you look into the rumors that each generation had a "less than honorable" past?

I was appalled that Officer Perry was gunned down by a mad man and want to support my police, however, when I hear these chilling stories of abuse and cover up I can't help but wonder where we are headed.

Anon 6:23 has a point! Isn't it grand that they will do a press release on this matter, yet they do not release the records of the reckless firearm discharge by a "protected" employee, of which disciplinary action was ordered not to be given by the highest authority...or how about the calls to a "protected" deputy chief's home? -Are those available for public inspection as required by law?

Oh, would that the be same deputy chief who is involved in "taking care" of that Captain you mention?

Fair is fair. One cannot uphold integrity or even lead when discipline and media releases are selective based on who has "connections" in high places...

That'll work on covering up the incidents with the officers gun that discharged and was covered up and the Captain that was driving while intoxicated. That's the ticket. Don't need to call Mr. Obvious on this one. Not condoning what this officer did at all. IMPD, be fair with our disciplinary actions across the board. I'm sure it wasn't hard for anyone to get the needed cad or report information, unlike the others. I'm just sayin.
