I read that story. It seems typical of the world these days where major criminals evade justice while others are crucified for nothing.

How about the story from England? A guy saw a bag that had been thrown into his yard. It contained a sawed off shotgun.

So he called the police and then took it into the police station where they charged him with possessing an illegal weapon!

And he was found guilty in court!!

It is like the time someone found a mobile phone on the street and handed it into a local police station. They arrested him and charged him with "theft by finding" whatever that means! Cops in England are best avoided at all costs, whether you are guilty or innocent or anything doesn't seem to matter to them. They are only interested in what they can pin on people. I've seen English police attack an unarmed and unresisting man and laugh and joke while they were doing so! I've also seen disregard and downright incompetence regarding doing any real police work. I've learned that if I ever see anything illegal going on it is best to ignore it and not get involved with the police. The older I get the more disillusioned I've become with the English police. Also best to avoid walking home from work anywhere near a demonstration or the cops just might kill you.

It's just as bad if not worse here in the P.S.A.
