Hmmmmmm. The shop owners are facing 25 years and $500,000 in fines?? Wow, thats heavy. What are the police (who SHOULD be held to a FAR higher standard of behavior) facing? Suspension WITH pay? A LETTER in their file? Oh NO!! NOT the letter!!! Termination? Well, I suppose being fired beats 25 years in prison. Like I said before, this ain't the Marshall Dillon police force anymore. EVERY DAY, there are reports of police beating innocent people, robbing, extorting, murdering, and like these DOZENS of officers, taking BRIBES so that regular citizens could be scammed and cheated. So much for "serving and protecting", huh? Todays police are merely another armed gang. With the legal authority to kill us and have dinner at home that night. The police are, with their military standard armaments and technologies, including DRONES, are more of a standing army than our "protectors".
