Pitty, if you would have read the article the daughter was not at home. She was able to get to the bus on time. They found her wallet where the money was at. I think it was extreme to handcuff the son though for 2 hours. The boy ran out to the guest house to warn his father that the police were raiding the house. I bet the police have a different story, but this article is only the side of the mother. The father had a ton of plants and $3,000 in cash.

You think the Pierce County Sheriff’s department is above that?

I have no clue whether they did that or not. They came in for a raid and the boy ran out the back door to tell Dad the cops were here. They probably pulled the gun on him when he ran. They hand cuffed him and put their guns away.

There are a lot of pieces of information that have not been revealed. I am not from Washington so I will have to take other peoples opinions on the tactics that the Pierce County Sheriff’s department uses.

This story doesn’t really sound believable. Sorry.
If the cops were going to violate human rights and code of conduct like that just to force out some ‘cash’ onto the scene to help their case. They’d just plant the cash themselves.

I did not fabricate this , The Weekly is Seattles News paper . It looks legitimate to me .

I think it’s a despicable story, but I doubt it’s a wide spread phenomenon. The cops should be disciplined and the girl and her family apologized to and recompensed if necessary.

Dumbdox It was a Marijuana Med Despensary a ton of plants would be expected. $3000 cash is not that unusual

Not Tacoma but Maryland

I find the article about the girl killed because she was ACCIDENTLY shot after the cops deployed a flash Bang

These are fucking cowboys , not peace officers . A term no longer used and should be the bench mark

I did not mean to convey any such sentiment in my post. I don’t believe any cops are above that.

why can cops investigate cops ? it would be like opening courts to the prison .

It is truely a conflict of interest, could you imagine a criminal killing the girl and giving inconclusive info to the Cops .
