EPPD: A Merry Band of Thieves

The police are charged with our safety and preventing theft. If you or I walk into a Circle K or a Walmart and steal a drink off the shelf, Loss Prevention will stop us, detain us in the latter case, and either give us a citation or take us to jail.

EPPD: Lawless Invasion

From officers who steal, sleep on the job, seemingly hate women, to not giving a damn about the law, I am disgusted. I feel sorry for the good officers who are overlooked for promotion, those good officers who do their damnest only to be hated by the public because of the actions of a few. I understand your pain and how hard this is for you to overcome. I’ve got your six for those officers who want to make a change and follow the law. For every crooked officer in the department, this became personal for me when some of your officers decided to harass my wife and my family. There is a song by NWA for you, so listen to it.
