So why is he in protective custody? Protection from whom?

Hope that CI has someplace in mind to live after this is over.

[cripplecreek]

Drug informants are so reliable.

[Rakkasan1]

can I get a witness!!!? TESTI-LIE!

[Dog Gone]

Family members gave Johnston's age as 92, but a report by the medical examiner said records show she was 88.

Well, any family member can make a four year mistake.

Ooops...if this is true one or more people (cops) are in serious trouble.

[processing please hold]

I knew their sotry was a cover up from day one.

You know what surprizes me?

That the Reverends Al, Jesses, Louie, et al aren't down in Atlanta 24/7 getting face time in front of any/all TV cameras screaming that this poor woman was MURDERED by the cops.

I should think Jesse would drop the Michael Richards story and come running to hype this up.

[L98Fiero]

Maybe the cops were black?

[L98Fiero]

A cover-up for what, exactly?

"The officers are saying one thing, the confidential informant is saying something else," said Pennington,

So between a group of cops and one drug dealer, you give the benefit of the doubt to the drug dealer. Speaks volumes.

[Responsibility2nd]

D'oh!

Seems like the right equation to me.

[L98Fiero]

The sad part is, we know so little about this incident that we don't even know that much. That does not stop the anti-LEO FReepers from convicting these cops, though.

[Ben Mugged]

If he admits lying why should we believe anything he says?

[L98Fiero]

"Seems like the right equation to me."

OK, let's replace the cops with the drug dealers then. Let's start with the ones that patrol you neighborhood, though.

An unidentified police informant... said officers had told him to lie about buying narcotics at a home...Police Chief Pennington said the informant had made similar comments to the police department's Internal Affairs unit.

Pennington told reporters that officers said they recovered a small amount of marijuana during the raid.

If the officers told the informant to lie it's reasonable to assume that the marijuana they found was planted by one of the officers.

Isn't the WOD wonderful --NOT!

The same drug dealer's word that was supposedly good enough to no knock raid the house in the first place?
