THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR LAST TIME THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE WITH OFFICERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES! THEY JUST HAPPENED TO GET CAUGHT ON TAPE! HA HA HA THOSE PA OFFICERS DID NOT DO A GREAT JOB OBSERVING THEIR SURROUNDINGS!

This is great!!!!!!! Charge the cops and let the criminals free!!!!!!!

I understand that they are indeed criminals, but at the same time these criminals still have the constitution protecting them via the 4th Amendment re: Probable Cause. If police officers infringe upon people’s constitutional rights just to charge criminals then they aren’t much better than criminals themselves.

I hope popo gets what he deserves.

I know about him too! He’s a liar and he’s crooked you should report him! I will!

Awwww poor crooked cops! You need to get a life and stop blaming the D.A. they got caught red handed.

You racists are hilarious!

yes yes yes …good for those crooked liars!! I got pulled over for a traffic stop for no reason yesterday and I argued this officer because I did not run a stop sign and he said I did…I stopped 3 seconds and pulled off and he pulled me over, I told him he was wrong and he had the nerve to say..quote..” the police are NEVER wrong” He was a real jerk…I guess the police weren’t wrong in this case either huh??? good for them ..remove em and let them go back to being citizens under the law and not of the law!!

very nice, where’s the spell check at?

JUST YESTERDAY, I LEFT A COMMENT ABOUT THIS ARTICLE. IT WAS POSTED (#2) BEFORE I LEFT THE COMPUTER FOR THE DAY. TODAY, MY POST HAS MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED!

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN…

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT MY INTENTIONS ON NOVEMBER 8, 2011, WHEN THE WORD “VACATE” WILL WILL FILL IN THE BLANK OF THESE TWO SENTENCES:

1. THE COURT WILL NOW —— THE FALSE CHARGES FROM MARCH 22, 2009.
2. MAKE SURE THAT DIRTBAG DOESN’T STEAL ANY OFFICE SUPPLES, AS HE BEGINS TO —— MY NEW CHILL SPOT!

We are all being tricked to keep this racial issue at the forefront, while we continue disconcern ourselves with the real issues in America, and that is are education system is declining, and we are not producing anything in this country that other countries desire. What has happen is no one really want to hear the truth, so we ceate our own realities. And for the uneducated person whi is using those Jim Crow tactics, that blackmen are raping white women that the samre fear history created in the pass. Read a book and learn how to do research, because opinions and facts are two different matters. Yes.,everyone has an opinion even fools.

Hmmm! 13 years after Sala Udin and others partitioned the FEDS to review the corrupt police in pgh look they finally get caught some cops are not there to protect and serve but to bully and abuse….I believe that the drug dealers need to be stopped but come on a lot of cops only go after them b/c they are easy marks and they want the cash and don’t want to get their hands dirty

you crazy as hell…..

I LOVED THIS COMMENT. RIGHT ON BABY.

Dionne-Theres my real name, see how scared i am. Reverse racism is the most dominant racism of thses times…

“The case follows a series of complaints from defense attorneys who say that police were “rousting” known or suspected drug dealers without probable cause, and then accusing them of trafficking if they discovered drugs.” These ‘victims’ were “known or suspected drug dealers” and accused of trafficking if they discovered drugs”. So, these were not innocent people victimized by the police. These are cops who were doing what I wish all cops would do: Be aggressive in rooting out drug dealers. Hell, if they shot them after finding drugs, I would be happy.

They are as bad as anyone else, they just have a badge to protect them. As far as racism, its nothing new. get over it. as far as black on black,black on white,white on black violent crime goes, Population control baby!

After reading all of the comments, I’m trying to see how this all became a race issue. The only thing I see occuring, is that ethical or the lack of ethics, that has occured,as its relates to these two officers. Yes it happens to both black and white people. But wrong is wrong, no matter WHO it is. We should all be alarmed when officers who are to up hold the law, forget the oath they took and do wrong. Name calling and stats about who doing more to whom, solves nothing.

I checked those statistics and you misinterpreted them to fit your ideology. Consider yourself “the false.” The myth that black men regularly rape white women is as old as the overthrow of Reconstruction. The following statistic is the reality. Check with PAR (People Against Rape) – or any organization that works with rape victims.
• Victims of rape were about evenly divided between whites and blacks: in about 88% of forcible rapes, the victim and offender were of the same race.
-National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)

the real truth…. i too read the stats mentioned by the truth. he is totally wrong.
good job w/ the research. he would have us believe his idea of the ‘truth’. maybe he got his stats from fox news.

This article doesn’t state the race of the drug dealers so why is everyone assuming they are black? Just kidding, of course they’re black.

this is what is really troubling….these cops got caught making false arrest, and allegations….do you really think these are the first two that do stuff like this regulary? …..imagine all the cops that havent been caught, and all of the “accussed” who have been prosecuted and jailed, while us citizens pay for them to be in jail…..think about those stats….

I am also happy to see these torturers charged,, and yes i call cops, judges and district attorneys torturers because jail is mental torture. Jail also is so much based on the concept of people being evil from this condescending christian crazy values based country. Why do people believe that punishment works? has anyone ever seen studies on mice and how punishment doesnt change behavior, rather positive reinforcement does. the only way to ever lower violcence and crime in the Us is to get more jobs, better education, and free healthcare to the poor. hese people arent born bad, its just a fact when people are poor, without good educatiob and without healthcare, they become violent! see capitalism thinks its cheaper to just cage the poor in jail but in the long run it really would be cheaper to give them healthcare and education like europe and canda does and we wouldnt be wasting our resources on jail.

You wonder why cops are very cautious and approach every situation carefully. Look at all the HATE in these posts. But then again I never met a person why hated a cop unless they were a criminal.
