I think it is funny how this story will never see the light of day again. Furthermore, I find it typical that their arrest pics are not listed on this website, unlike so many non-violent arrests pictured on this website.

Just because you are a cop it does not mean you can do things such as this. They should lose thier jobs! They are supposed to enforce the law not break it. If their items were stolen then they know the proper steps in getting their property back. Instead they decided to go get it and beat the man they thought was responsible. Sad thing is... what if the man they beat was the wrong person. His friend could have taken the phone and stashed it there or sold it to him. He could be innocent. (not saying he is, but it is possible he could be)

I don'tknow how Durham's "be all, know all" decision makers at the police department make their decisions as to whom will be allowed in the academy, thus giving them a job with the PD, but they made a huge mistake when they turned down my nephew. He would have been one of the GOOD ones.

Were the officers armed? Posibly with an off duty weapon. If so why were they not charged with Home Invasion? If they were armed and the home was occupied I think that meets the criteria for Home Invasion.

They should have done what all other citizens are told to do, call 911. They should have had to endure the lengthy wait for an officer to show up, take a report and then be told that an investigator will contact them. They should of had to wait a few weeks for that call only to be told that there has been no progress in the case. No, these officers felt that they had some special right to take matters into their own hands like so many of us would like to do but can't. The question now is weather they will be processed like one of us would be if we had done the same thing?

"Was the stolen wallet and phone retrieved?"

Good question huh... Bet we'll never find out and will be irrelevant as to how these officers are prosecuted.

Law enforcement should have been called to retrieve stolen stuff not some vigalante junk that these three pulled. DPD is as corrupt as it gets...well maybe neck in neck with RPD. I dont trust any of them. These are the people who call everyone a criminal yet they are too, they were just not caught. Jokes on them, now they were!

"They made a bad decision/call, that's it!"

Really? I have a bridge to see you!

They knew the law, the enforced the law but they broke the law.
