: Roy Thomas Chaivarlis, 31, of 283 Summit Ave., Yatesboro, who troopers say drove his van through the front door and lobby of the state police station last Thursday morning, now faces three counts of attempted homicide, along with a laundry list of other charges. - This is one of the headlines from the LeaderTimes Newpaper today.
: Do you think if this incident would have occurred to an "ordinary citizen" (you or I) that the state OR local police would have invested some much time into that investigation and would have charged that indivudal with the same accounts.
: Let's not forget several years ago, a State Trooper did donuts around the flag pole at the State Police Barricks and no legal charges were filed.
: Is there equal justise or selected justice from our local and state police officers?
See here is the deal. A ordinary citizen does not fall into the blue wall of protection. They get away with things you and I don't and god forbid you do something to one of them. The hammer comes down. I would love to see some statistics on charges placed against say State Troopers as compared to say a supervisor in a factory. I guarantee you it is out of this world. I would love to see how man troopers have been charged with speeding. We as citizens are supposed to take the word of a trooper against the word of a common citizen. Law enforcement officers anymore are hypocrits. How many times am I doing 60mph on the highway and a trooper blows by at 70 just heading for shift change. I know of a officer in kittanning who several years ago was drunk and ran from the State Police. Most people did not hear about this, but I was privy to info.. You would be surprised what this guy is doing now. The days of trusting a officer just because he is a officer are long gone. I actually warn my children and friends about them.. Don't trust them..don't ever agree to a polygraph..don't ever agree to a interrogation. They are sneaky liars who will hang you if they can.
