Police dept are nothing more than government tax collectors. They have no interest in solving crimes, serving justice, or protecting the public!
Just when I think you might just be an OK guy and are coming around, you have to once again post something that is borne from pure ignorance.
Is this case, victim = guy who got gun stole
Justice= geting guns back
Protecting pubic= punishing theif
Solving crime= finding out if accused actually committed crime
Police dept solution = blaming it on owner for not keeping enough records for them to do the job, the tax payers are paying then to do! Im not ignorant, just calling a spade a spade!
