I'm not saying a midget isn't worth your affection or anything because they're people, too, but damn, dude... was it worth losing your job? I mean seriously. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/2...eaving-beat-midget-p*rn-star/?test=latestnews ---------------------------------------------- Massachusetts Policeman Resigns After Leaving Beat to See Midget p*rn Star Published July 20, 2010 | FoxNews.com A Massachusetts police officer resigned after leaving his beat to see a dwarf p*rn star called "Bridget the Midget" and lied about the visit during an investigation into the incident, local media reported Tuesday. Officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, deserted his late-night patrol to visit a gentleman's club where adult film star Bridget "The Midget" Powers -- billed as "the world's smallest p*rn star" -- was performing last month. Bennett was in uniform at the time of his visit to Club Alex's in Stoughton and was reported to authorities by at least five other officers, said Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany. He then reportedly lied about the visit during an internal investigation into the incident, the Patriot Ledger reported. "Mama told me there would be days like this," Shastany said, on confirming Bennett's resignation. "We are not red-faced. In fact, I am pretty proud [other officers] stepped up." Bennett, who last month received a commendation for his work in a March murder case, resigned on June 30 rather than face disciplinary action, Shastany said.
He was probably investigating her, she's on the run for murdering people with her psychic powers.... (puts on sun glasses) She's a small medium at large. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I love how the media blows this kind of stuff out of proportion, 1. How were 5 officers there to witness what he was doing? 2. He did not go off duty to go there, he was stationed there after a disturbance. 3. The police chief can't say anything, he was new and had no idea what was going on, especially because the past two chiefs had been suspended for theft. He takes one picture on a personal phone, outside of the club and he is being burned at the stake? Screw that.
Based solely on what's on the report: It didn't say the officers were with him, only that they reported him. He abandoned his duty to go there. Yes, he can. He's the CHIEF, no matter if he's 2 days or 2 decades on the job. Yes. He wasn't doing his job at the time and his job doesn't include taking photos of p*rn stars. What's with reviving 7-month-old news threads?!?!?
Really! Rookie makes his first post, bumping a 6 month old, little read post? How did he find it unless he was specifically looking for it? Can rookies use the search feature to search for "midget p*rn"? And he's arguing details that aren't even in the article as if he has inside knowledge? Ngolden's location is Plymouth, MA? ****ing r****d is trying to be an internet vigilante. Thank you Mr. Bennett for drawing my attention to your midget p*rn fetish. I missed this post the first time around. Thank you for making sure the story of leaving your post to watch midget p*rn while on duty gets attention from as many people as possible. This is a story that needs to be heard.
Hey Rick Bennett - your next stop should be this forum: http://forums.officer.com/forums/showthread.php?150285-Midget-p*rn-(star)-costs-cop-his-badge... they are calling you out for lying to IAD about the issue... and that was the real reason you got fired... not for leaving your post. Make sure they know what's up... One of those guys could be your colleague one day.
This must be the cop that the other cops didn't like. Maybe they didn't think he should have won that award. Rest assured, if this was one of the cops who was buddies with all the other cops, there's no way they would have reported him.
