Wow!! Just what we needed another black eye. Just goes to show you no matter what you will get caught. It hurts to arrest one of your own but sometimes it just has to be done.

Well Mike it is nice to see that you give another officer the benefit of the doubt. The incident occured over two years ago and you have convicted him already and also concluded that he was drunk at the time of the incident. Did it ever occur to you that he might be innocent? or that if his vehicle was involved he might have been one of the other vehicles that struck the victim after the inital accident and he didnt realize he struck a person? Oh and I forgot we should also hang his friends. You are a real stand up cop that I want to work with someday.....

Donnie Breeden picture
That cop dude should get 30 years for his looks alone.

He has this lovable SS-man sans brains looks. Personification of ugly and stupid, aka preferred cop recruit material nowadays.

Some cute new details:

*****
The police criminal complaint filed in the case states Breeden allegedly stopped at the scene and questioned those who gathered, asking them whether they saw anything. Confident that they had not, he left, telling his friends, <b>"I'm a cop, I can't go to jail,"</b> the report states.

Now, where would he get this idea that cops never go to jail?! Union meetings? Hanging around other cops?

"Officer" Breeden
This guy was never an "officer". If you were his friend, you could use drugs and drink. If you weren't he arrested you. He proved himself to be what I've known all along that he was - a POS! I hope he enjoys prison.....

Crafton Police
I was first on scene and if this so called cops says he didn't kill him it had to have been one or both of the other vehicles that hit that poor kid he's crazy from the point of impact to Hall hitting the street it was over 90 feet. That killed Mr. Hall. Lets not for get also that this piece of *censored* cop never even slowed down. He did call a friend that was following behind him I'll bet it was a Crafton Cop and said i just hit somebody go back and see. This person did and also left the scene (nother piece of *censored*) After Mr. Breeden was arrested the only thing he was concerned about was going to work that night. This scumbag cop makes it bad for all of use good police officers that take pride in our jobs.
To all you people that say he's inocent till proven quilty. I was first on scene I seen what he did first hand. Traveling over 60mph and hitting someone will kill them. I seen Mr. Halls injuries.
I work night turn in Zone 5 if you have a problem with what i wrote

I just read that the CPD has kept him on suspension with pay. I guess Mommy Dearest is already calling in her favors.

Innocent
Everyone right now is thinking with emotions, reacting from emotions.

I do not know if Breeden is the driver of the SUV who hit Hall. You do not know. Not until all evidence is laid out.

Because there is a disgust that anyone would do a hit and run, you want to hang a man and his career before it is all played out.

Crafton has no choice but to suspend him without pay. He hasn't been proven guilty yet. He does have rights, and there are those who are falsely accused. Crafton has to follow the law. Maybe Breeden did it, maybe it wasn't even him.

We assume that what we hear is the truth. And of course, lets not forget he looks like a POS...that makes all the more reason to hang him. Many of you people seem to have a strong dislike of him and his character. You are entitled to your opinion.

The fact is a young man was killed. The first car to him was the cause, and therefore the fault. Apparently people are saying they witness Donnie being there. To me, he does not have real characteristics that stand out.

I think it is ironic that after two years a witness has finally come forward. I doubt it is for the guilt. Maybe to save his/her own skin, or out of malicious intent.

I am sure some of what is being said is true, however, until all evidence is laid out on the table, he is innocent.
