http://www.whiotv.com/news/news/local/police-drug-bandit-phoned-in-robbery/nPqCB/ I think this story is focused on the wrong part of the incident. HE GOT AWAY HOW STUPID IS THIS I PAY TAXES FOR WHAT?? They actually put the real drugs in the bottle? THe cops weren't already there waiting and watching? No freaking wonder everyone is turning to crime if they can be this stupid and just walk away with it.. DAYTON POLICE I HAVE LOST FAITH IN YOU the robber should have been caught before it even happened and been charged with "conspiracy to do whatever", but instead the whole thing went off without a hitch. how long was it between the robbery phone call and the police phone call? can the cops even figure out how to determine this? Fuck you stupid pigs I can't believe I rely on you to keep me safe. I'm getting my CCW fuck what ya hurrd
That was the most retarded news story I ever read. I am actually very confused. So he robbed them by calling and asking them to leave drugs at the drive-thru window???
LEO's incompetence is not news, the most surprising thing here is how long it took you to lose faith in the cops.
Someone will call a bank and ask them to leave $50,000 dollars in small denominations outside of the bank because their carrying a gun – of course the guy is sitting in his car across the street but no matter Hotwater
Ohio cops must really suck at their job. I just saw some segment about a girl who was kidnapped and her parents called saying they knew her location.. the dispatcher was like "you have two calls in front of you, they'll be there." So the dad went in to get her and was getting his ass beaten for something like 45 min on the front lawn until they arrived. Cincinnati I believe. Moral of the story, take care of your own business. And fuck a ccw.
Yeah - not to belittle this robbery situation, where there was just MASSIVE STUPIDTY in action...when my cat, BB was trapped in the building across the road, I called EVERY cop and animal control person (which I was TOLD was part of the sheriff's dept!) I could and got NO HELP! They wouldn't even come out and see what I was going on (and on) about. That time it took an ex-Marine to help out my situation. If there ever is a next time, I will know BETTER than to call a damn cop, and I will handle it myself.
It's funny, because since I'm black, I already have no faith and trust in the police -- only "hah, I told ya so" discontent. So I really can't empathize with ya here.
Every place I've worked at has a "just let the robber get what they want, but remember details" signs posted on the bulletin board. Even though that person followed proper procedure I'm sure they'll get shit canned for being stupid.
