And? Its time people stopped being so puritanical and so-called Christian. Its a real world out there, and there is no issue. Pay attention to your own lives and maybe your wife, or husband won't cheat on you...

As part of someone that is representing their city, their police department as a whole, I think the middle 2 pictures are inappropriate. If these were just 2 guys, having a good time, that's different, but these guys are in UNIFORM! Not to mention, the guy in the 2nd photo on the right has a wedding ring on! I'm sure these police officers aren't "bad" guys perse, but they have to uphold a certain type of responsibility as Virginia Beach Police Officers!

I could care less. I am a responsible adult female and I think it is funny and the photos are cute. I am sure cute cops get their photos taken all of the time. If she was trying to dupe them for that website, shame on her and the website! It is not a big deal, people need to get a life and worry about real crimes. Although I am sure the one guy's wife wouldn't like it, LOL!

You know, if we would put our energy into real problems like the cost of prescription medication or cures for diseases that take so many lives each year, instead of these petty, trivial moments in time; we could probably change the world in so many ways.

This is disturbing to see. These men are supposed to be working..."to serve and protect"...how embarrassing for the officers of VA Beach who are out there really working...not using their uniform to pick up young women.

[Faith Mann]

I am constantly amazed at how the news media protects these so called officers of the law. These men are on the clock enjoying the company of these women they were photographed with. Yet the news media won't reveal their shameful faces, protecting them from the scrutiny of the public in which they should be serving. If this had been someone accused of wrong doing you guys would have the accused photo all over the news guilty or not. And to add insult to injury, the spokesmen for the department tries to insult the intelligents of the public by making out as if the officer just happen to in a split second catch the leg of the women he is photographed with. Stating the pose could have been change at the last minute without the officers knowing. To often officers of the law have been caught on video doing things that would put the average citizen in jail for life. Excuse after excuse is made for these officers, mostly white young officers who abuse their power of authority mostly against miniorities but not limited to miniorties. It is high time that this people who are suppose to protect and serve be put on the carpet for their actions. To a few these officers are good guys, the few being their family and friends. To my community the are a gang, terrorist. They are not protectors, they harrass and disrespect hard working citizen and the sentiment is that it will do no good to report their behavior because of what we have witness tonight on the news, it will be swept under the rug.

shaking my head. how are officers suppose to be taken seriously and they have incidents like this? while in uniform? no this is not ok. not at all. this brings in the question if they take advantage of women as well "with their uniform" such as bribes and threats? Man these photos bring alot of questions to the table

I live in a pretty rough nieghborhood. We hear gun shots all the time. I would love to move but can't afford to. It would be nice if the police would show up here once in a while when 911 is called. There was a gang fight with about 50 kids out here one night. Several people called, and 3 hours later, they never showed. I guess maybe they were having thier photos taken too. Oh wait a minute, they may have been at the local Waffle House.

[Phil]

Caught you! Isn't that today's sick society is all about? We are so bored with our meaningless lives that we have to point and act pious when in some of these pictures the police officer is just standing there and some ..... puts her arms around him so a picture can be taken. Smile.

Of course, there are the guys that are trying to be cute with this ..... and play along. Bad judgement on their part. Sorry.

[Terri Jasper]

Don't people have anything better to do with their time? Oh wait, I forgot. People today are more worried about what everyone else is doing instead of worrying about themselves.

[Melissa]

Ya know..Normally, it wouldn't be an issue, as I stated above, these guys were in Uniform, but I guess it's typical male. Man first, Cop 2nd, right? Guess he wasn't thinking at all about his WIFE before he grabbed that girls leg and said "cheese". Not saying ALL MEN are like this, but you put a pair of boobs and a hot girl in front of a man and all senses go out the window.

I believe the two police officers and the administration need to look in to this A.S.A.P. they need to be put on administrative duty until the investigation is complete. but that would be up to the their supervisor , Department Head. because there's no excuses for they done, that if it true ,because if it was true these two police officers need to be
Termination for there actions , because the citizens are suppose to trust public safely people with out question.
Let's be Real

What were these officers thinking? What examples are they setting for our youth?

[Dayna]

Could it be that the people who look at these officers and say that these photos are OK, are folk who have the morals of alley cats? Does okaying the officers behavior help these "model citizens" validate their values so they feel good about themselves? Sorry, officers earn respect by acting in a respectable manner. We must ask ourselves this question honestly. Do these pictures hurt or help the image of Virginia Beach police officers?

[Towball]

Oblivously these were staged pictures.

[mom of 5]

No wonder this place is going to hell in a hand basket!!

[Think]

If the Va Beach Fuzz saw anyone else posing with this gal. They would have arrested them for lewd behavior and towed away their car, because the city of Va Beach is "Family Atmosphere". Yeah right hahaha dumb cops.

[VB Citizen]

Even good cops make mistakes. If this is the worse thing these guys have done then no big deal. I am not saying it is right, but it is not the end of the world.~ Look at Clinton.~ I agree that when in uniform they have an image to uphold. BUT, no matter what your profession may be, can you hypocrites honestly say you maintain professionalism 100% of your 8-10 hour day? This should not reflect poorly on VBPD or any officer becuase they put their lives on the line every single day they put that uniform on.

[BSW]

Isnt there some type of honor code? Did they forget they were in uniform? And the Virginia Beach Police Department is quick to scream about INTERGRITY!!

[SmithVegas]

Overheard prior to the photos being taken - "Hey, is that a nightstick in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?" They both looked like they were pretty happy to see her. I guess everyone expects local police to be nothing more than mindless machines? A good personality goes a long way...looks like it was all in fun. So they showed their "human side" - blasphemy, the shame, how dare a VB cop show that he has a sense of humor.
