cop targets wrong house for home invasion
In what I hope is just an isolated incident, an eleven year veteran Philadelphia police officer has been arrested after allegedly participating in a home invasion in nearby Montgomery County, then leading police on a 130 m.p.h. chase:
Malik Snell, an 11-year veteran of the police department, was the alleged getaway driver after the home invasion turned violent, Ferman said yesterday. Ferman said Snell led Pottstown police on a chase that reached 130 m.p.h.
Philadelphia police said Snell was suspended for 30 days with intent to dismiss. Snell has been a police officer since 1996, according to city payroll records. He is assigned to the 18th District in West Philadelphia.
The break-in took place after midnight on Rowland Street in Pottstown, Ferman said. Snell waited in an SUV while his brother-in-law, Tyree Aimes, also of Philadelphia, and Stephon Gibson, forced their way inside the property, she said.
Ferman said the men were looking to retaliate against someone they thought had stolen money from a friend of theirs who was a drug dealer.
Apparently, the men picked the wrong address and broke into the apartment of a couple who were not involved, Ferman said. Aimes and Gibson beat the couple at gunpoint and fled, Ferman said. Snell and Aimes left in the SUV; Gibson was left behind, she said.
Pottstown police were soon in pursuit of Snell's vehicle, traveling north on Route 422. The high-speed chase spilled into Berks County, where Exeter Township police tried to lay out spike strips to stop the SUV. More here. While it's bad enough to think that the cop was the getaway driver, absent from both reports is a more chilling detail which found its way into Fox News:
The victim of a home invasion and robbery tells Fox Philadelphia a police officer was one of the men who tied his girlfriend up with an iron cord.
Investigators say Philadelphia Officer Malik Snell was an active participant in a robbery and break-in in Pottstown over the weekend. It's also believed he drove the getaway car for two other men involved in the crime.
Homeowner Stephen Stackhouse spoke first with Fox's Sharon Crowley.
"They came in, grabbed me by my throat, pushed me to the wall and told me to get down," said Stackhouse.
Stackhouse eventually broke free and called police. He says while he did that, Snell went to upstairs and tied up his girlfriend with the cord from an iron.
"They belong in jail. I don't care if he's a cop," said Stackhouse. And suppose he'd not been caught. How many other crimes might the man have committed? Will we ever know how many of them might have been committed under color of police authority?
This is the sort of thing which typifies police in Third World countries.
I'm ashamed to see it in Philadelphia, and I sincerely hope it's not a trend.
(Of course crooked cops and the war on drugs go hand in hand.)
Where's this guy been?
But but but he’s a cop. Its not illegal when he does it.
Oh and then theres his friend the drug dealer.
And this is the town worried about banning the Boy Scouts? Seems they should have other things on their agenda.
Just goes to show how much of a hell-hole Philidelphia has become. Typical dimocRAT run big city.
We’re the police and we’re here to help.
What gets a cop fired immediately?
Refusing to pay his union dues might do it.Too bad he wasn’t shot during the arrest.
“What gets a cop fired immediately?”
Nothing, and then they say “I want my union rep.”
It is going to be interesting to hear what the-cops-can-do-no-wrong crowd say about this. [to wit] How will they justify the cop? I know that they will. But what logic will they use?
Merry Christmas to you and yours
Bump
Wonder how much and how many times he has stolen while in uniform? The SS and KGB are in full stroke.
Oh, no....he didn’t do this in uniform, did he?
The perp's mugshot.
Lol, a K-9 bit him. What a worthless POS.
Another bad cop....oh my, what a big surprise....scumbags.

Cop bites cop.
Mayor Street is a racist POS.
And there are still those that can’t see what’s happening.
Malik and Tyree? Was there any doubt?
