thank god what happened??? stolen or illegal goods are planted by the police.. how is that legal... why can police break the law... how far can they go... we pay them... as tax payers we are as much their employer as the fed/municiple areas they "serve" and "protect" or used to at least. Don't we agree to allow the gov't to use our tax dollars to hire and employ and law enforcement organization to protect us and help us feel safe?

has anyone noticed that after an extensive (probably costly) investigation, THAT was all that was accomplished by our justice and law enforcement officers, a few stolen items that could have been put in a business by anyone. Even given for safe keeping. You can't trust anybody sometimes.

Perhaps they just have it out for the guy. People sure enjoy judging from a distance, and turning an eye away when law enforcement also breaks the law they took an oath to uphold. Does anyone think it's OK for police officers to disregard the law they arrest and charge others for breaking if we can't also arrest and charge them when they break it? WE can't... we can only complain to their people, who back them up, and good luck after that if they don't surveille you.

I'm not the least bit interested in supporting throwing people in jail who first of all have only been charged at the time of this article, and what crime was so violent or heinous to justify a jail sentence even if the accusations can be proven. You seriously thing the items found and charges made justify "jail time"? Why?

While other far worse crimes take place in our community, by much more dangerous criminals, while being ignored by our law enforcement officers because someone has their centre of attention, officers who are today more disrespectful, unwilling and sometimes even hostile about not doing police work when your kids' are robbed, friends and neighbors have been victims of crime, theft, abuse, death threats, assault, vandalism, breaking into homes whle the family is asleep robbing from kids bedrooms... terrorizing some who live alone. These are actutal crimes from my street in the past 2 years. No one has been apprehended. Oh and there was the guy who's house burnt down... only the last time the first was started, they didn't knock on the door and wake him up - 4 time that house was put on fire. You should see the massive new house there, now.

There are some who judge thinking they are safe. Until you find out you're not safe, sometimes especially from the police, maybe the guy who also can't protect his property or his rights and freedoms, might come along one day and save you. Maybe he won't seem like the guy you imagine him to be. might even like him he might just make you feel safe.
