Louisville officer who slapped and poked handcuffed suspect guilty of misconduct, fined $2

I like the sarcasm - cut off your head to spite your nose. You make a good point. However, you are wrong about legal defense being optional. Legal defense is built into the dues. Every Member gets legal defense. No Member of Lodge 614 that pays dues (active officer) goes without legal defense. You may not be a Member and not have legal defense.
