Differences and Bias
We thought we would use two recent cases to demonstrate differences and bias. Of course, most of you already know the media shows bias against law enforcement and they don’t mind crafting the narrative to make you conclude the officer must have done something wrong.
Our first case involves a City of Charleston police officer who apparently was trying to enjoy a day off with his family at a local park. According to news reports, the officer’s child brought him a toy gun found in the park. This officer decided to break up and destroy the toy gun. Maybe he was trying to emphasize a lesson about firearms he had been trying to teach his own children. At some point, the officer was confronted by what most of the local media simply refer to as “a woman”. Apparently, the found toy gun belonged to one of her kids.
You see, when the local media wants to imply wrongdoing by a police officer they always name the officer - even if it has yet to be proven the officer did anything wrong. They always fail to name the other party involved, thereby implying that person was in the right and needs to be protected.
To her credit, Melissa Broughton of the P&C was the only reporter to identify the “woman” involved as Marquita Cherron McCall.
The result of that confrontation? The officer is suspended without pay, and CPD has asked SLED to investigate. Of course, Chief Mullen doesn’t mind hanging his officer out to dry with the public by suspending him without pay and implying he did something wrong.
It seems if you wear a badge you are guilty until proven innocent. Makes us wonder why anyone would want the job.
Now, the case of the Berkeley County reserve deputy is a different story. That incident was a domestic violence call and the allegations against David Frances Flood were made by the female victim and backed up by a juvenile in the home. When your wife and kid are terrified of you and both tell the same story, you are toast. Wearing a firearm while arguing with the wife, then threatening to kill her with witnesses nearby, is never a good idea. You have shown the motivation, the desire and you have the means to carry out your threat. There is only way thing a responding officer can do in that situation and that is lock your ass up.
Just a side note. While checking out Marquita McCall’s friends we came across our old pal “Run Way Tookie“. You folks might remember him as Thailando King, the Chuck E. Cheese shooter from last October who was identified by the folks here at Charleston Thug Life. Despite being in jail on a one-million dollar bond on those charges and having all of his bonds from 2013 charges revoked, King was updating his Thugbook page on a fairly regular basis through the end of December.

The park and toy gun story needs more info. You don’t break other people’s stuff. I don’t know the full story though.
In response to the first officer listed, I do not know all the facts but from what is reported in the media, he appears to be out of line. The situation could have been handled differently. If I was a dad and broke a toy gun my kid found and someone else later said it was theirs, I would apologize,explain the situation, and offer to pay for a replacement. The woman in this case may have acted belligerently in a way that caused the officer to escalate things. That being said, was it really necessary to take the woman to the ground over blocking her license plate so the guy could not read it? I would not want a stranger to read my license plate after an argument. He might be a stalker who wants revenge later on. He later announced he was an officer but even then, what crime was being committed to warrant writing down her license plate? Both parties involved are probably to blame for the situation escalating out of control. A police officer should be able to take emotion and personal feelings out of his/her decision making. It appears the officers emotions got the best of him and it may cost him his job. Facts may come out that make me change my opinions but it would take a lot to justify tackling a woman over no real crime being committed.
Officer flood is being wrongfully accused and that lieing vindictive “victim” is getting away with ruining an innocent mans life!!! Why so the media can have something to talk about. …. really
THAT CHICK IS A STRAIGHT UP HOODRAT. DO WE EXPECT ANYTHING DIFFERENT TO COME FROM HER.
HIS MAMA NAMED HIM AFTER A COUNTRY…THAILAND…….NOW THAT SOME GHETTO ASS SHIT RIGHT THERE…LOL
HE IS AN OXYGEN THIEF, USELESS AND NOTHING BUT A PROBLEM MAKER. IF HIS MOM WOULD HAVE MADE HIM A COCKTAIL WITH A LEMON AFTERWARDS…THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PARASITE OF THE COMMUNITY.
Check out the female’s facebook page. There is a photo of very small children throwing up gang signs, flipping the bird, and holding a gun (real or not, but in a gangsta pose, and maybe a cigarette in his mouth). Maybe DSS needs to take a look. We will be reading about her kid in a few years, either an arrest report or an obituary.
The allegations made against the second officer (flood) are not true. This is fact, she set it up and yelled out something bout don’t kill me even tho flood never threatened her so the juvenile could hear. Why didn’t the second juvenile make the same allegation? Flood is one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and would never act like that. I would know better then anyone else seeing that I am his 29 year old daughter. I was raised by him and in those 29 years he has been the best father I could ever ask for. I can state this ….. his wife (the victim) has showed me nothing but hate, jealous, and non mother like to me since she has came into my life. She is an alcoholic and occasionally drug user. I know this for a fact. She had me smoking weed at the age of 14 years old. She said she wanted me to try it with her so she knows it’s safe. I didn’t even know what weed was at that age.
It is interesting that the media didn’t seem to mention a second juvenile, only the one who backed up the allegations. Hmm……
