Chief Ramsey of DC sniper shooting fame is on the case.
Duran, you’re screwed.
What was doen to this man was a travesty. These officers need to be fired and investigated, Thsi is not the first time thatey have done this, They even surmised the system was viewable at hoime.
And since when is a Ziplock bag an illegal commodity? How did the police intend to prove intent when there was no video of the ziplock transaction the warrant was based upon?
Duram pled no contest on his attorney’s advice, no doubt, to make the situation go away.
Filtydelphia never changes. Where is the wonderful Mayor in all of this? Probably crying in his beer that his buddy Mumia’s case was rejected by the Supreme Court.
William Penn would take a cane to all of them.
If this report is right, these officers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and each of them should do gaol time.
Something that is not mentioned in this story is WHY the officers destroyed the surveliance system. Is that part of their procedure manuals or training?
You would think they would want to preserve as much evidence as possible to bolster their case and prove they acted according to law. Instead they destroyed the camera system.
But no one asked the officer WHY they felt they had to disable them (it’obvious to us)
What LAW or PROCEDURE says “disable all video when conducting a raid”
And Duran should sue the city and walk away with a big check if the facts are as presented.
This is hardly news in philly.
Good Lord, they once dropped a firebomb on a house and burned down an entire city block.
Now, I don’t side with MOVE or any trash like them, and they had kind of barricaded themselves in there with weapons, but that was a wee bit over the top...
Business as usual.
Shame on any city that employs thugs like this and gives them badges to pillage private businesses. The police chief should be fired for letting these criminals run amok.
If this is true, then all the police involved should do jail time and the Chief should be fired. The victim should walk away with a fat check from the city.
These CORRUPT police need to be tried and put to death. Life imprisonment is WAY too good for them! Set an EXAMPLE.
Those officers didn’t trash the store, they were just on their donut break....
This whole thing is predicated on a terrible state “baggie†law. Every lawmaker who voted for this should be identified and ridiculed. Meanwhile, these punk-ass cops need to have their personal property destroyed.
Oink.
:-0 Talk about corruption caught on tape. Good thing the store owner had another camera running! We used to live in Philly. There’s so much crime the police don’t bother coming out for the “little crimes” like car break-ins. But, apparently, these officers had plenty of time to harrass a storeowner over ziplock baggies, disable his surveillance cameras, and then raid his store.
