PEACE? What's peaceful about having your home assaulted. your lives threatened, and your property stolen and destroyed?

The only thing the Sherrifs did was HELP THE BAD GUYS GET AWAY. When we do that, it's called "aiding and abetting". But when they do it, it's called "maintaining the peace"?!

Orwell called this double-speak. I just call it bullshit.

Lucky thing the Sheriffs were willing to help, otherwise the DEA would have had a real problem escaping the scene of the crime without a media nightmare.

The SC Sheriffs are hired and paid by the people of Santa Cruz, yet they too now roll over for King George II and the empire of Washington DC. I'll say it again.. boot-licking, back-stabbing little cowards. They don't respect authority; only power.
