This article is about two of not just my homies but probably a couple of the biggest influences on my life. They were finally released from jail today on a bond after spending 22 months inside. I have been chillin with them and will be alot over the next couple weeks.
Couple things to note about what actually happened. The off duty police officer never identified himself as a police officer. He came running out of this place shooting at the homies, who then hopped in their truck and drove off. This "cop" then jumped into the passenger seat of the owners Ferrari and persue them shooting my homies from his car. When the police finally did show up like 5 min after the chase started my homies surrendered thinking the cops were there to help. Instead they were arrested.
They then faced 2 attempted murder charges as well as reckless endangerment and possesion of a fire arm. After two years the trial had not even started... two years of them sitting in jail. The rookie officer was caught lying in court multiple times and therefore the DA's offense was weak. About a week ago the DA decided to then add more charges which the judge said could only be done if the current case was dropped. Therefore the DA dismissed the case and my homies were released for about 5 min before they were arrested and recharged with over 20 different felonies. Because of this bullshit the judge decided to lower the bail from 1 million each to 100 thousand each.
So they are still fighting this unjust system and now they can at least be out of bars and get back to their families, friends, work and life. When power is put into the hands of the greedy who will create a situation like this to further their own careers in law enforcement who can we rely on to stand up to them? The system of justice only feeds a cycle that does not better our so called criminals but rather creates a situation that guarentees the person will be back again.
