The cops quickly caught a Cuban gang (Marielitos) and ask the owner to appear in court to identify our stuff. Court took all day because the lawyers would not allow mention of the Cuban prison tats on the gang members.
The gang had a warehouse in Chicago filled with 'stuff'.
The tattoos were never allowed in full court.
Who protects the people when law enforcement is literally a criminal gang?
I wonder if this guy’s trying to save his own ass, and will help in any way possible. Not gonna wash with his homies.
When we pulled up there were three flatbed semi's, a crane, and several cop cars, which chastised us for trying to gain access. The cops were actually removing the cold drawing machines, lathes, shearing tables, punch press, etc....
My dad announced he was the General Manager of the mill and they needed to put it all back immediately. The cops refused and said they were doing so at the request of the insurance company.
My dad got out the Polaroid and began snapping pictures of officers, tag numbers, and equipment on the trucks.
My dad called the state police who showed up an hour or so later. The machines were just lifted off the trucks and left out in the parking lot. The local and state police refused to act on any of the attempted theft.
Never-ever trust the police. There may be good ones, yes, but they can't have any effect on the bad ones to do any good.
