@NOPDNews
did a phenomenal job, from responding officer to detective. Detective immediately recognized him. He does this all over Lakeview and third district.
God forbid you leave your garage open in Lakeview at 830am, because some shitbag driving in the alleys will plunder everything he can find. The good news is that if he's caught, his bond will be set lower than the amount he got from selling my drills.

I am the victim in the June 29 burglary. I have it on HD video and gave to detectives. Bail went from $25,000 to a free release in days. He was already on probation when he did it, which should have prompted a hold. The criminal justice system is completely broken.

Why are people asking for private helicopters instead of having dozens of US Chinooks arriving with tons of supplies and bringing people out if needed?
Does anyone have a plane/helicopter that they would be willing to help my wife and I get home in? We are trapped in Black Mountain (no food or water) and we have a medically complex handicap son who requires around the clock care, medications, and a ventilator. Please help.
