White is accused of taking about $70,000 from a safe containing

I was responding to the person who said “Wonder what made him think he wouldn’t get caught?”

Can you think of a better explanation, or should I email pictures of cops parked in front of “NO PARKING” signs while they get sandwiches from Quiznos?

What am I whining about? I think you need to quit reading in such a whiney tone, because I’m not whining about anything.

Most cops think they are ABOVE the law. I mean…think about how many times you’ve seen a cop blow thru a red light, not use his turn signal, or talking on a cellphone while driving.

Okay, so what was his plan? Gamble it? Put it in some account? Pay off some drug dealer in Vegas? Too many unanswered questions.
