America is a country that respect the rule of law. People like Bill Jakob whose ulterior motive is nothing more than to make himself feel good, (and possibly pocketing cracks and cokes off the "drug dealers" he arrested) is ruining America. How many phonies are in America right now? We don''t have to look far but just to turn into TV to see the biggest phoney of them all, GEORGE BUSH, who ruined the economy of america, the respect that we had around the world, and our military.

There is only one thing everyone should do against PHONEY. ARREST THEM. SAY NO TO THEM. Do NOT make a hero out of them. They are NOTHING but WORTHLESS CON MEN.

Sergeant Bill should be given a medal for what he did, not prosecuted.

To SnarkySnark: Seriously? Sarah Palin? You are actually comparing the current Gov. of Alaska to this conman?

As a person who lives in the same county where this incident occurred, I am more than a little nervous about the safety of my community. How could they very people who are supposed to be protecting us be so fooled?

P.S. Based on Katie Couric''s journalist skills, she should be *** happy to have a job at all!

Slimeball and attention ***. He gets what he deserves. He did far more harm than good - basically all these alleged drug dealers get a pass, and grounds for multi-million dollar lawsuits. He was their greatest ally. Maybe some of them hired him as part of a scheme!

Its pretty hard to be a phony cop from a wheel chair. I''d hate to see that guy get shot in each knee with a .357

Although the story was interesting, no one should have interviewed the con man. By doing that, he was given the ultimate of what he wanted. Attention. Tell the story, but don''t even show his picture. Don''t give him what he wanted, that should go along with his punishment.

Here is a link to the aforementioned tastykakes stealing cop. This country has become a police state, through the War on Drugs fiasco.

They are the reason why our prisons are over filled with non-violent drug offenders. Shame on this country and shame on the people who have allowed this to happen."


cockamammy is right, rank and file Americans have been complicit in the evolution of a pernicious quasi police state. This is demonstrated by the fact that it now has one of the highest per capita prison populations in the world. Are Americans truly among the most criminal people in the world ? I think not!!

I agree with both posts. There is a cop up in NY that was caught pilfering tastykakes with his free coffee. The had practice giving Law enforcemment free coffee, but this guy wanted more than just his free coffee. I doubt this thug will do jailtime. Which a regular street thug would have been sent away for at least 3-5 yrs........

jakob, the criminal mutant, should be in prison and not being interviewed by couric. crime pays, sure does, in this country. local police were dunder heads for never checking and validating credentials. big dummies. but jakob should be in the slammer for a long, long time. but not in this country, crime pays.

"This a perfect example of what our immoral War on Drugs has led to: A perverse rationale that has no shame about destroying lives. Just imagine how many legitimate police officers who engage in this form of behavior everyday. Unlike this criminal, they get away with this kind of cruelty all the time. I can''''t imagine how a police officer can be proud of themselves in this country. When you enforce immoral laws, you are thus immoral. They and the criminal lawmakers of this country are the reason so many have suffered over the 30 years. They are the reason why a generation of American children have been raised without mothers and fathers. They are the reason why our prisons are over filled with non-violent drug offenders. Shame on this country and shame on the people who have allowed this to happen."

That smug look on this punks face is gonna get him smacked! He best move to another state because anyone who recognises him will want to do more harm than good to him. He thinks he''s a rock star. He is a criminal. Investigate him for all the unsolved rapes by people claiming to be law enforcement.

Oh yeah, I might add the following on the local constabulaory versus the free press. Thank God for news media. The local police in this Cal. town in plain clothes went into a bar and basically rousted the people in the bar. A retired Air Force Lt. Col was sitting in the bar and told the local press (No not the Rah Rah Rah Manteca Bulletin but instead their competitor the Sun Times or some such name that the cops did not identify themselves, although they claim they did so. So the reporter watched the video to see what transpired and concluded that he saw no indication of them ID''ing themselves and said one cop grabbed a guy by the collar and took him outside and when his wife tried to follow him out another cop slugged her. Later the Manteca, CA. cop according to the paper told the DA to press charges against the husband for slugging his wife. According to the paper the cop was not fired, so Manteca Cops have no honor code of "I will no lie cheat or steal, nor will I tolerate among us those who do." So if they get on a witness stand and I''m on a jury I guess I''ll presume their lying. Only logical thing to do.

I''m familiar with the area as I was doubled up with a girl when a friend dumped me off with a friend of his and I ended up going out with a gal from the town. I now live in California and my respect for law enforcement has not grown any at all. I went home to Mo. to visit my parents and had my car searched twice in four days by the MoHP as I had Cal. plates so must be a drug dealer. In the Cal. town I live in now, my doc told me to lose weight or get diabetes, so I started walking and riding a bike, getting my pic taken for riding a bike, having a decoy car put in my walking path trying to get me to steal it, being spied on when I walked laps around the park having them move their car and hide elsewhere when I walked in their direction and having a bag labelled ''Medical" dropped perfectly centered on my driveway while they parked a block down the street where they could keep an eye on it. Maybe they wanted to knock my door down and shoot my basset hound in the back the way they shot the mayor''s lab in Maryland. My bro in law who is a citizen of another country was robbed by Chicago policemen. He said "You can make money at this" and went back to his home country and became a cop inspired by American justice. Signed - Retired Nuclear engineer and 13 gallon blood donor with references like the VP of Marathon Oil, an aircraft carrier commander, a Shipyard commander (who lent me his car when I had a date and no car). Cops suck.
