4 months from retirement… LOL… Anyone that has ever been pulled over or dealt with Officer White can rejoice. “Karma is a bitch”
He wasn’t growing tho, he just happened to notice a plant that looked like it needed watered so he watered it. Sure.

He was also the biggest Tint enforcer in the North Hills…
He pulled over a Pittsburgh Pirate, and two other customers over on their way out of a shop parking lot after getting tint put on (all in the same day) and tried to hassle the window tinter. Until the business owner came out and gave him a bunch of shit, White still wrote the tickets, but never bothered someone in that lot again.
Karma is a bitch, even greater being four months from retirement

soooo the guy was forced to retire 4 months early? ummmm sounds like, besides having a bad reputation now, he came out on top… I fail to see how “karma is a bitch” in this situation…
unless one does not one to have 4 more months of retirement in their life?

It’s one thing to give out tint tickets, it’s another thing to set up shop across from a business giving tickets as the cars are being tinted. that’s a complete dick move
and that is only one example of how he was a prick…
Karma is a bitch - because after however many years of being in service and being a prick he leaves with a tainted record and legal mess to deal with. I don’t know the facts (nor do I care enough to google, and assumption is fine for me here) but aside from his reputation, I think his pension could also be affected

WOW, that a pretty big leap right there. I doubt all cops are crooked and I doubt the amount of crooked cops is more than a few percent nationwide. There are assholes in every profession.
I does sound like he was a giant douche though, I have not seen anyone defend him yet.

The only downside could be his replacement. Could be 5x worse or simply this former officer is the king of douchebags.

“He was fired in 1987-88 I believe it was for a similar incident involving cocaine,” Mark Purcell said.
He was a Ross Township Commissioner when he voted to fire White.
Purcell says White, working off duty, allegedly took a small quantity of cocaine and a driver’s license form a young man. The man was never arrested and the cocaine disappeared.
A civil service board reinstated White after a 45-day suspension

I think thats actually pretty hilarious. No different than a cop busing people walking out of a crackhouse or busting people for DUI after watching drunk retards stumble into their cars outside of a bar.

a cop is not crooked because he smokes a little dope. I wish all cops would smoke, they’d be way more laid back. :bowdown:
