Big questions in heroin case
Wisconsin State Journal ^ | 29 dec 07

Posted on 12/29/2007 7:30:23 AM PST by rellimpank

A police detective should not be able to waltz into the property room at the Madison Police Department and remove evidence related to criminal cases he has little or nothing to do with. This is especially true when the evidence is heroin.

Investigators believe Madison Police Detective Jeffery Hughes got away with removing bags of heroin from the property room at least 10 times. The evidence so far suggests he may have been obtaining the drugs for personal use.

Nobody seemed to pay much attention until Hughes crashed his car into a guardrail Nov. 20 on Interstate 39-90 near Edgerton while off-duty. He was badly injured.

police are always your friend and will always protect you and will always do right.

In the very same way that the kid at the drive through window will never screw up your order, the car salesman will always tell you the truth, and people are basically good.

Not once, not twice, but at least 10 times and no one said a word. I’d say the entire department needs to be investigated from top to bottom.

Hey, didn't some Clinton operative do the same sort of thing at the National Archives???

It’s telling that the government installs cameras here at EVERY intersection, but they can’t bring themselves to do so at the evidence room.

I’m not an officer. No one in my family is or has ever been an officer. It’s just that you are a cowardly idiot and I’m calling a spade a spade.

This is what I wrote:

police are always your friend and will always protect you and will always do right. In the very same way that the kid at the drive through window will never screw up your order, the car salesman will always tell you the truth, and people are basically good.

Now, if that strikes you as conclusive evidence that I am an "idiot," that's your business.

What I don't get is what about my words indicates cowardice?

I could, for example, argue that you can say anything you want to me, accuse me of anything, call me anything, and never be held accountable because you are relatively anonymous. You are clearly offering opinions that I highly doubt you would if, say, we were standing in line somewhere or if we passed each other in bar. I could call that cowardly, but I don't think I need to, because it's obvious that it is.

But please, lay out the case that proves your declaration, and then we won't have conclude that it is you who are the coward. But in order for that to happen, you really have to make your case stick. We could even do a little wager, if you wish.
