#4Pointing a taser at someones neck sounds like incredible lack of professionalism. How long are cops trained there?

#5Why would any police organization spend even 5ms on finding a stolen computer and have the complainant involved in a "sting"?

#6yeah.... unchecked assault, and you think an article is going to solve your problems. cowardly pussy. buy guns and matches and do it right. you want solutions or do you want things to get worse? they assaulted you and you did nothing. now you're enabling them to assault more people in more attack first questions later methods because you personally have turned people off of the caring service of the dedicated police.
BOOM. boom is the answer, lady.

#9I've read in the past stories about cops getting tips from people that their stolen stuff is on Craigslist. At the time I thought it's cool they are catching people but I guess if they rely upon the thinking of a civilian who just had their laptop stolen going and saying "omg that's my laptop!!" "I mean sure the serial number is wrong maybe they are lying about that.. It's totally mine.. Hey police you gotta bust that guy!" It seems like that is very likely to result in lots of false positives since your average person is not a detective.. The police should be doing more digging on this stuff before they just assume stuff is gonna be stolen.. Especially if part of their MO is to look for people of color.. Completely unacceptable..

I assume it is to help you empathize with the person the story is about. Some people are interested in the human element of news stories, the photos are for those people.
