I am totally disgusted by the court system and only endangering the police officers, including their families by extension. I also wanted to believed that the magistrate don’t trust the police force in doing their job by cooking up there reports. The delinquency lies between the police and the court.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So tell me, where is the firearm for those bullets that were seized?
